  1. 0:02Yo guys, Ferocious here. In today's
  2. 0:04video, I'm going to talk about how I use
  3. 0:06phases of price. Before I move on with
  4. 0:09the video, I want to say that I do not
  5. 0:11claim um any of these concepts in this
  6. 0:14video as my own concepts. This is just a
  7. 0:17video about how I apply phases of price
  8. 0:19to the market day by day. The topics I'm
  9. 0:22going to talk about today are key levels
  10. 0:24I'm using for the phases of price,
  11. 0:26consolidation, reversal, expansion,
  12. 0:30retracement, and I will give great
  13. 0:32examples at the end of the video how I
  14. 0:34apply this to the real market.
  15. 0:39First of all, I want to give a small
  16. 0:40introduction about each phase of price.
  17. 0:43Starting with a consolidation. This is a
  18. 0:45phrase of price where price is ranging
  19. 0:47between a specific high or low and where
  20. 0:50is not a lot of movement inside the
  21. 0:51market. Expansion is the easiest p price
  22. 0:55price movement to trade. The market is
  23. 0:56trending in a certain direction higher
  24. 0:58or lower and u with speed and not a lot
  25. 1:01of pullbacks. Retracement is a phase of
  26. 1:04price where price makes pullbacks after
  27. 1:07um the expansion phases.
  28. 1:10Reversal is a phase of price where a
  29. 1:12relevant level is hit and price starts
  30. 1:14to trade aggressively away from this
  31. 1:16level forming a V-shaped signature at
  32. 1:19this relevant level.
  33. 1:23The first phase of price I'm talking
  34. 1:25about is consolidation. When can we
  35. 1:27expect a consolidation phase of price?
  36. 1:30This is after we hit a relevant key
  37. 1:32level or we had a large expansion. And
  38. 1:35this is logical since the market cannot
  39. 1:37expand forever, right?
  40. 1:39What can we expect after a
  41. 1:41consolidation? We can expect a new
  42. 1:43expansion phase or a reversal phase. So,
  43. 1:46how can we engage with consolidations?
  44. 1:49The first scenario is waiting for the
  45. 1:50range low to be taken out. If we are
  46. 1:52bullish,
  47. 1:54we want to see a strong reaction form on
  48. 1:56the asset we want to trade from this
  49. 1:58range low and form a reversal signature
  50. 2:00higher and uh trade a new expansion
  51. 2:03phase higher. Right?
  52. 2:05The second option is to wait for an SMT
  53. 2:07to form at range low. If we are bullish,
  54. 2:10this means we want to see at least one
  55. 2:12asset inside the triad take the range
  56. 2:14low and reverse. Then the assets that
  57. 2:17are not taking the low, for example,
  58. 2:20this asset here can be traded higher as
  59. 2:22well. If all assets are reversing from
  60. 2:25this SMT, to qualify a high probability
  61. 2:28SMT, we require all assets to expand
  62. 2:31away from this SMT formation. So even
  63. 2:34the asset that is taking range low
  64. 2:37should expand higher from the SMT
  65. 2:39formation. So we can trade the strongest
  66. 2:42asset to trade higher.
  67. 2:46The second phase of price I'm going to
  68. 2:48talk about is reversal. When can we
  69. 2:51expect a reversal phase of price? This
  70. 2:53is after we hit a relevant key level and
  71. 2:56we form a manipulation move at this key
  72. 2:59level. What to expect after we form a
  73. 3:02reversal? we can expect a new phase of
  74. 3:04price expansion.
  75. 3:07So how to qualify a high probability
  76. 3:09reversal? We need a relevant key level.
  77. 3:12At this key level, we want to form a
  78. 3:14V-shaped signature like we see here. We
  79. 3:17see price going down.
  80. 3:20Hitting the key level, we see it trade a
  81. 3:23little bit higher. Take the range low
  82. 3:25one more time. And with speed, we form
  83. 3:27our reversal and continuation signature
  84. 3:30higher. This is marking a V-shaped
  85. 3:32signature.
  86. 3:34The second option to trade a reversal is
  87. 3:37basically almost the same. We are
  88. 3:39trading down hitting a relevant key
  89. 3:41level. We take a little bit time at this
  90. 3:44key level. We form a SMT instead of a
  91. 3:48range low purge here. So we have a SMT
  92. 3:51into a continuation. And again, how do
  93. 3:54we qualify this as a high probability
  94. 3:57SMT? You want to see the other assets
  95. 4:00trade higher after we form this SMT
  96. 4:02formation as well to trade a new phase
  97. 4:05of price expansion.
  98. 4:10The third phase of price I'm going to
  99. 4:12talk about is expansion. We can get an
  100. 4:14expansion after we had a consolidation
  101. 4:16or a retracement. And what can we expect
  102. 4:19after a expansion? We can expect a
  103. 4:22retracement, a consolidation or a
  104. 4:25reversal in price.
  105. 4:27expansion is really important to
  106. 4:29understand because there can happen like
  107. 4:31three things after we get an expansion
  108. 4:34and this is the main thing I'm using in
  109. 4:36my trading. So um stay tuned for the end
  110. 4:39of the video where I go over the
  111. 4:41examples of how to apply this in the
  112. 4:44real market. So the signatures we want
  113. 4:46to see in expansion phase of price are
  114. 4:49shallow moves against the expansion we
  115. 4:51want to trade. In this example, we want
  116. 4:53to trade the expansion higher and we
  117. 4:55want to see price finding support at key
  118. 4:57levels we use for intraday price action
  119. 5:00such as flli gaps and order blocks. So
  120. 5:03you can see prices expanding higher. We
  121. 5:06form a shallow retracement finding
  122. 5:09support in our flli gaps and making um
  123. 5:12closures above these order block candles
  124. 5:14to trade a new expansion higher. And we
  125. 5:16repeat the process until we met our key
  126. 5:19level. We can use previous candle's
  127. 5:22range. So we measure range low to range
  128. 5:25high and if the next candle is going to
  129. 5:27expand, it should stay above 50% level
  130. 5:30of previous candle's range and it should
  131. 5:32not make a large wick at the bottom. In
  132. 5:35this case, in this case, we can see
  133. 5:37price forming a small bottom wick and we
  134. 5:39stay above previous candle's range and
  135. 5:41this qualifies to be the next candle,
  136. 5:44this candle to be an expansion candle.
  137. 5:50The last phase of price I'm going to
  138. 5:52talk about before we go into the
  139. 5:54examples is retracement. We can expect a
  140. 5:56retracement to form after we had a key
  141. 5:59level or after we had a expansion phase
  142. 6:01of price. What can we expect after a
  143. 6:04retracement? We can expect a new phase
  144. 6:06of price expansion.
  145. 6:09After price makes such a large range, um
  146. 6:12price can most likely form a smaller
  147. 6:14range heading into a retracement phase
  148. 6:16of price. If we are bullish, the
  149. 6:18expansion should be fast and large as we
  150. 6:21can see here and the retracement should
  151. 6:23be slow and shallow to qualify a new
  152. 6:26phase of price after the retracement for
  153. 6:28an expansion phase. After we hit a
  154. 6:31relevant level, we can expect a new
  155. 6:33phase of price. One of them is
  156. 6:36retracement. As you can see on the right
  157. 6:38picture here, we hit a relevant level.
  158. 6:40We form a shallow retracement with a
  159. 6:43continuation signature for higher
  160. 6:45prices. This is one thing I use a lot to
  161. 6:47still find trades after we hit a
  162. 6:50relevant key level.
  163. 6:53So now I will go over some examples of
  164. 6:56how I used the phase of price logic uh
  165. 6:58myself in the market. First example is
  166. 7:01ENQ. We can see we formed a higher time
  167. 7:05frame reversal here, but that doesn't
  168. 7:07really matter since I want to focus only
  169. 7:10on this piece of price action. As we can
  170. 7:12see, we see 6M approach this relevant
  171. 7:16high. Like I said, we use swing highs,
  172. 7:19swing lows or previous candle highs and
  173. 7:22lows. So, this is a relevant swing. The
  174. 7:23next swing is this one. So, price is
  175. 7:27failing to reverse from this level. So,
  176. 7:29we either going to consolidate here or
  177. 7:32we retrace and form a new expansion
  178. 7:35phase of price. Right? So if you are
  179. 7:38approaching that relevant level, we can
  180. 7:43look for one of the signatures. As we
  181. 7:45can see, price is in the first place
  182. 7:47hitting the key level here.
  183. 7:50For us to trade shorts, we want to see
  184. 7:53us trade aggressive down forming a CISD
  185. 7:56and see continuation lower. Right? But
  186. 7:59what do we form here in the first place?
  187. 8:02We form a fair value gap
  188. 8:05like this.
  189. 8:08So what can we expect after we form a
  190. 8:11fair value gap and we are not trading
  191. 8:13aggressive away from this um these highs
  192. 8:17here those relative equal highs we can
  193. 8:19expect a continuation into the new high
  194. 8:23here. So we are not shooting for home
  195. 8:26runs but we can expect if we are failing
  196. 8:29to reverse from this high here we can
  197. 8:31expect a new phase either a
  198. 8:33consolidation or a um retracement into a
  199. 8:38new expansion phase. Right? And what we
  200. 8:39do we get here we get a retracement into
  201. 8:42the value gap and we form a continuation
  202. 8:44signature
  203. 8:46by trading away out this gap and we um
  204. 8:50can trade a continuation here. So this
  205. 8:52is the retracement into a new phase of
  206. 8:53price expansion. But what could also
  207. 8:56have happened here?
  208. 8:59We could have still approached the high
  209. 9:01here. We can form some sort of
  210. 9:03consolidation here. Then we take range
  211. 9:07low and we can still look for an
  212. 9:09expansion, right? to take the range lows
  213. 9:11or we form a consolidation and trade
  214. 9:15away higher since we form a SMT at these
  215. 9:18lows to trade um the expansion higher.
  216. 9:22So in this case we had our retracement
  217. 9:25into a new expansion but we could have
  218. 9:28also consolidated into a new expansion
  219. 9:30higher since we are failing to reverse
  220. 9:33from this relevant um high intraday high
  221. 9:36on the 4 hour. So now let's go over the
  222. 9:39second example. This is basically the
  223. 9:42same example. Same logic I applied here.
  224. 9:45We have those relative equal highs on
  225. 9:47the 4our. We are forming a internal to
  226. 9:50external potential move but we are
  227. 9:53trading and approaching this relevant
  228. 9:54high. So then we are going to monitor
  229. 9:57how we are um reacting to the high. Like
  230. 10:00I said are we reversing?
  231. 10:03So in the first place by this candle is
  232. 10:06a little bit weaker than the previous
  233. 10:07example but we still do not trade
  234. 10:10aggressive down form the change here for
  235. 10:14continuation lower right we still form a
  236. 10:18small move down and we form a
  237. 10:21continuation signature here like I
  238. 10:22explained in the slides. So we have
  239. 10:24again we approach these equal highs
  240. 10:26here. We can see price retrace a little
  241. 10:30bit shallow retracement not deep and we
  242. 10:32form a continuation signature out of
  243. 10:34this gap.
  244. 10:37So once again this is a retracement
  245. 10:39phase into a new expansion phase where
  246. 10:41you could have traded this candle higher
  247. 10:44to the new
  248. 10:47target like we had here to this new
  249. 10:50target. If we are not reversing from
  250. 10:53this high, we go to the next highs. It's
  251. 10:55just it's as simple as that. So, what
  252. 10:58could have happened too here?
  253. 11:01Instead of retracing into a new phase uh
  254. 11:04expansion, we could have consolidated a
  255. 11:06bit, take range low and then expand
  256. 11:09higher by taking the lows and expanding
  257. 11:12higher. or we could have consolidated
  258. 11:15and expanded away from this
  259. 11:17consolidation by creating a valid SMT
  260. 11:20throughout the triad. So this example is
  261. 11:23basically the same as the first example
  262. 11:25here. So now let's go over to the
  263. 11:30third example.
  264. 11:32It will all look the same. So I
  265. 11:34basically look for this logic every day.
  266. 11:37Remove this one here. So again, we have
  267. 11:40two highs here.
  268. 11:43We have a relevant high here to the left
  269. 11:45and we have this high here.
  270. 11:48So
  271. 11:50we can see price approach this high.
  272. 11:55And what are we doing? We are expanding
  273. 11:58through it. We are not reversing, not
  274. 12:01aggressive reversing down. So what can
  275. 12:03we look for? We can look for a
  276. 12:05consolidation into taking the range low
  277. 12:08into an expansion or we can look for a
  278. 12:10consolidation into expansion by creating
  279. 12:13an SMT or we can look for a shallow
  280. 12:16retracement into a new expansion phase.
  281. 12:18So what do we get here? We get our
  282. 12:20farewell gap again
  283. 12:23and we get our CISD out of it.
  284. 12:29You could have traded something like
  285. 12:30this once we closed above. You can put
  286. 12:33your stop loss in this gap here and you
  287. 12:36could have still squeezed out something
  288. 12:37like 2 R I think. Yeah, you could have
  289. 12:40squeezed out two R trading into this
  290. 12:42high here. So once again we are
  291. 12:46monitoring how we react to relevant um
  292. 12:494hour daily highs, weekly highs. It's
  293. 12:51all fractal. In this case we had a 4hour
  294. 12:54high. How are we we reacting from this
  295. 12:58um this level? Right?
  296. 13:01So that's basically the third example.
  297. 13:03So now let's go over to the last example
  298. 13:06of this video. This one is started on
  299. 13:08the daily. This is previous daily candle
  300. 13:11qualifying as a expansion candle. We are
  301. 13:14closing near its high. We expanded um
  302. 13:16after taking this low. We are failing to
  303. 13:19trade away from this high. So we can
  304. 13:21look at this high. We can form a new
  305. 13:24face of price. This is previous candle's
  306. 13:26range. So the new daily candle should
  307. 13:30not trade anywhere near to this 50%
  308. 13:33level and we should not form a large
  309. 13:35wick at the bottom and we trade an
  310. 13:39expansion phase. Right? So here we can
  311. 13:41look for a new expans a new phase at
  312. 13:43this high.
  313. 13:47So what's going to happen here? We had a
  314. 13:48daily high. What is the 4 hour doing?
  315. 13:52The 4hour is more in a retracement phase
  316. 13:55since we are not um aggressively trading
  317. 13:58away from this high. So we are retracing
  318. 14:00to for example this F value gap. So we
  319. 14:03have a retracement on the daily. We are
  320. 14:06still forming that small bottom wick
  321. 14:08qualifying for an expansion candle. We
  322. 14:10are still in premium of previous day
  323. 14:13range here as you can see. So we have
  324. 14:16our daily high in a new phase of price.
  325. 14:19we can look for a retracement into a
  326. 14:21continuation. So again we had our daily
  327. 14:24into 4 hour. Now we have our 4 hour into
  328. 14:28for example 5 minute here or I think I
  329. 14:32traded the 3 minute here. So we have our
  330. 14:364hour high. What is price doing here?
  331. 14:40You all can see we are aggressively
  332. 14:43trading away from the value gap forming
  333. 14:44a reversal signature. We have our
  334. 14:48Vshape here, V-shaped signature as a
  335. 14:51reversal.
  336. 14:53So, what are we doing at this high? Are
  337. 14:56we approaching the high and trading
  338. 14:58aggressive away from it forming a
  339. 15:00reversal or are we going to consolidate
  340. 15:04into a SMT going higher? Or are we going
  341. 15:07to consolidate taking the low range low
  342. 15:10and then going higher or do we form once
  343. 15:13again this fair value gap
  344. 15:16a continuation signature. So we approach
  345. 15:19the high we retrace and we form our
  346. 15:22continuation. Right? So again I traded
  347. 15:24this order block here.
  348. 15:27So I was monitoring this high. We traded
  349. 15:31to the high. We retraced and we formed a
  350. 15:33continuation and traded the continuation
  351. 15:36here
  352. 15:39for like 2 and 1/2 hour to
  353. 15:42to here. So that was a good trade. So to
  354. 15:46make a small summary of this video, the
  355. 15:49main thing I'm using is the uh new face
  356. 15:52of price around those highs and lows. Um
  357. 15:55I want to see what we are doing at the
  358. 15:57high. Are we reversing, retracing,
  359. 15:59consolidating?
  360. 16:01um to qualify for still a trade after we
  361. 16:03hit a relevant high. So a lot of people
  362. 16:06will will close charts once we hit the
  363. 16:08high but we can still look for
  364. 16:10continuations if we are not reversing
  365. 16:12from this high if we form one of the
  366. 16:14continuation signatures like I said
  367. 16:16consolidation SMT or consolidation range
  368. 16:18low or retracement into continuation.
  369. 16:22So this was basically the end of the
  370. 16:24video. I hope you all appreciated the
  371. 16:26video and um you guys learned something
  372. 16:28from the video how how I approach um the
  373. 16:31face of price. So, please leave a like
  374. 16:34and subscribe since I'm um already
  375. 16:36working on the next video. Peace.
