How To Use Phases Of Price — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:02Yo guys, Ferocious here. In today's
- 0:04video, I'm going to talk about how I use
- 0:06phases of price. Before I move on with
- 0:09the video, I want to say that I do not
- 0:11claim um any of these concepts in this
- 0:14video as my own concepts. This is just a
- 0:17video about how I apply phases of price
- 0:19to the market day by day. The topics I'm
- 0:22going to talk about today are key levels
- 0:24I'm using for the phases of price,
- 0:26consolidation, reversal, expansion,
- 0:30retracement, and I will give great
- 0:32examples at the end of the video how I
- 0:34apply this to the real market.
- 0:39First of all, I want to give a small
- 0:40introduction about each phase of price.
- 0:43Starting with a consolidation. This is a
- 0:45phrase of price where price is ranging
- 0:47between a specific high or low and where
- 0:50is not a lot of movement inside the
- 0:51market. Expansion is the easiest p price
- 0:55price movement to trade. The market is
- 0:56trending in a certain direction higher
- 0:58or lower and u with speed and not a lot
- 1:01of pullbacks. Retracement is a phase of
- 1:04price where price makes pullbacks after
- 1:07um the expansion phases.
- 1:10Reversal is a phase of price where a
- 1:12relevant level is hit and price starts
- 1:14to trade aggressively away from this
- 1:16level forming a V-shaped signature at
- 1:19this relevant level.
- 1:23The first phase of price I'm talking
- 1:25about is consolidation. When can we
- 1:27expect a consolidation phase of price?
- 1:30This is after we hit a relevant key
- 1:32level or we had a large expansion. And
- 1:35this is logical since the market cannot
- 1:37expand forever, right?
- 1:39What can we expect after a
- 1:41consolidation? We can expect a new
- 1:43expansion phase or a reversal phase. So,
- 1:46how can we engage with consolidations?
- 1:49The first scenario is waiting for the
- 1:50range low to be taken out. If we are
- 1:52bullish,
- 1:54we want to see a strong reaction form on
- 1:56the asset we want to trade from this
- 1:58range low and form a reversal signature
- 2:00higher and uh trade a new expansion
- 2:03phase higher. Right?
- 2:05The second option is to wait for an SMT
- 2:07to form at range low. If we are bullish,
- 2:10this means we want to see at least one
- 2:12asset inside the triad take the range
- 2:14low and reverse. Then the assets that
- 2:17are not taking the low, for example,
- 2:20this asset here can be traded higher as
- 2:22well. If all assets are reversing from
- 2:25this SMT, to qualify a high probability
- 2:28SMT, we require all assets to expand
- 2:31away from this SMT formation. So even
- 2:34the asset that is taking range low
- 2:37should expand higher from the SMT
- 2:39formation. So we can trade the strongest
- 2:42asset to trade higher.
- 2:46The second phase of price I'm going to
- 2:48talk about is reversal. When can we
- 2:51expect a reversal phase of price? This
- 2:53is after we hit a relevant key level and
- 2:56we form a manipulation move at this key
- 2:59level. What to expect after we form a
- 3:02reversal? we can expect a new phase of
- 3:04price expansion.
- 3:07So how to qualify a high probability
- 3:09reversal? We need a relevant key level.
- 3:12At this key level, we want to form a
- 3:14V-shaped signature like we see here. We
- 3:17see price going down.
- 3:20Hitting the key level, we see it trade a
- 3:23little bit higher. Take the range low
- 3:25one more time. And with speed, we form
- 3:27our reversal and continuation signature
- 3:30higher. This is marking a V-shaped
- 3:32signature.
- 3:34The second option to trade a reversal is
- 3:37basically almost the same. We are
- 3:39trading down hitting a relevant key
- 3:41level. We take a little bit time at this
- 3:44key level. We form a SMT instead of a
- 3:48range low purge here. So we have a SMT
- 3:51into a continuation. And again, how do
- 3:54we qualify this as a high probability
- 3:57SMT? You want to see the other assets
- 4:00trade higher after we form this SMT
- 4:02formation as well to trade a new phase
- 4:05of price expansion.
- 4:10The third phase of price I'm going to
- 4:12talk about is expansion. We can get an
- 4:14expansion after we had a consolidation
- 4:16or a retracement. And what can we expect
- 4:19after a expansion? We can expect a
- 4:22retracement, a consolidation or a
- 4:25reversal in price.
- 4:27expansion is really important to
- 4:29understand because there can happen like
- 4:31three things after we get an expansion
- 4:34and this is the main thing I'm using in
- 4:36my trading. So um stay tuned for the end
- 4:39of the video where I go over the
- 4:41examples of how to apply this in the
- 4:44real market. So the signatures we want
- 4:46to see in expansion phase of price are
- 4:49shallow moves against the expansion we
- 4:51want to trade. In this example, we want
- 4:53to trade the expansion higher and we
- 4:55want to see price finding support at key
- 4:57levels we use for intraday price action
- 5:00such as flli gaps and order blocks. So
- 5:03you can see prices expanding higher. We
- 5:06form a shallow retracement finding
- 5:09support in our flli gaps and making um
- 5:12closures above these order block candles
- 5:14to trade a new expansion higher. And we
- 5:16repeat the process until we met our key
- 5:19level. We can use previous candle's
- 5:22range. So we measure range low to range
- 5:25high and if the next candle is going to
- 5:27expand, it should stay above 50% level
- 5:30of previous candle's range and it should
- 5:32not make a large wick at the bottom. In
- 5:35this case, in this case, we can see
- 5:37price forming a small bottom wick and we
- 5:39stay above previous candle's range and
- 5:41this qualifies to be the next candle,
- 5:44this candle to be an expansion candle.
- 5:50The last phase of price I'm going to
- 5:52talk about before we go into the
- 5:54examples is retracement. We can expect a
- 5:56retracement to form after we had a key
- 5:59level or after we had a expansion phase
- 6:01of price. What can we expect after a
- 6:04retracement? We can expect a new phase
- 6:06of price expansion.
- 6:09After price makes such a large range, um
- 6:12price can most likely form a smaller
- 6:14range heading into a retracement phase
- 6:16of price. If we are bullish, the
- 6:18expansion should be fast and large as we
- 6:21can see here and the retracement should
- 6:23be slow and shallow to qualify a new
- 6:26phase of price after the retracement for
- 6:28an expansion phase. After we hit a
- 6:31relevant level, we can expect a new
- 6:33phase of price. One of them is
- 6:36retracement. As you can see on the right
- 6:38picture here, we hit a relevant level.
- 6:40We form a shallow retracement with a
- 6:43continuation signature for higher
- 6:45prices. This is one thing I use a lot to
- 6:47still find trades after we hit a
- 6:50relevant key level.
- 6:53So now I will go over some examples of
- 6:56how I used the phase of price logic uh
- 6:58myself in the market. First example is
- 7:01ENQ. We can see we formed a higher time
- 7:05frame reversal here, but that doesn't
- 7:07really matter since I want to focus only
- 7:10on this piece of price action. As we can
- 7:12see, we see 6M approach this relevant
- 7:16high. Like I said, we use swing highs,
- 7:19swing lows or previous candle highs and
- 7:22lows. So, this is a relevant swing. The
- 7:23next swing is this one. So, price is
- 7:27failing to reverse from this level. So,
- 7:29we either going to consolidate here or
- 7:32we retrace and form a new expansion
- 7:35phase of price. Right? So if you are
- 7:38approaching that relevant level, we can
- 7:43look for one of the signatures. As we
- 7:45can see, price is in the first place
- 7:47hitting the key level here.
- 7:50For us to trade shorts, we want to see
- 7:53us trade aggressive down forming a CISD
- 7:56and see continuation lower. Right? But
- 7:59what do we form here in the first place?
- 8:02We form a fair value gap
- 8:05like this.
- 8:08So what can we expect after we form a
- 8:11fair value gap and we are not trading
- 8:13aggressive away from this um these highs
- 8:17here those relative equal highs we can
- 8:19expect a continuation into the new high
- 8:23here. So we are not shooting for home
- 8:26runs but we can expect if we are failing
- 8:29to reverse from this high here we can
- 8:31expect a new phase either a
- 8:33consolidation or a um retracement into a
- 8:38new expansion phase. Right? And what we
- 8:39do we get here we get a retracement into
- 8:42the value gap and we form a continuation
- 8:44signature
- 8:46by trading away out this gap and we um
- 8:50can trade a continuation here. So this
- 8:52is the retracement into a new phase of
- 8:53price expansion. But what could also
- 8:56have happened here?
- 8:59We could have still approached the high
- 9:01here. We can form some sort of
- 9:03consolidation here. Then we take range
- 9:07low and we can still look for an
- 9:09expansion, right? to take the range lows
- 9:11or we form a consolidation and trade
- 9:15away higher since we form a SMT at these
- 9:18lows to trade um the expansion higher.
- 9:22So in this case we had our retracement
- 9:25into a new expansion but we could have
- 9:28also consolidated into a new expansion
- 9:30higher since we are failing to reverse
- 9:33from this relevant um high intraday high
- 9:36on the 4 hour. So now let's go over the
- 9:39second example. This is basically the
- 9:42same example. Same logic I applied here.
- 9:45We have those relative equal highs on
- 9:47the 4our. We are forming a internal to
- 9:50external potential move but we are
- 9:53trading and approaching this relevant
- 9:54high. So then we are going to monitor
- 9:57how we are um reacting to the high. Like
- 10:00I said are we reversing?
- 10:03So in the first place by this candle is
- 10:06a little bit weaker than the previous
- 10:07example but we still do not trade
- 10:10aggressive down form the change here for
- 10:14continuation lower right we still form a
- 10:18small move down and we form a
- 10:21continuation signature here like I
- 10:22explained in the slides. So we have
- 10:24again we approach these equal highs
- 10:26here. We can see price retrace a little
- 10:30bit shallow retracement not deep and we
- 10:32form a continuation signature out of
- 10:34this gap.
- 10:37So once again this is a retracement
- 10:39phase into a new expansion phase where
- 10:41you could have traded this candle higher
- 10:44to the new
- 10:47target like we had here to this new
- 10:50target. If we are not reversing from
- 10:53this high, we go to the next highs. It's
- 10:55just it's as simple as that. So, what
- 10:58could have happened too here?
- 11:01Instead of retracing into a new phase uh
- 11:04expansion, we could have consolidated a
- 11:06bit, take range low and then expand
- 11:09higher by taking the lows and expanding
- 11:12higher. or we could have consolidated
- 11:15and expanded away from this
- 11:17consolidation by creating a valid SMT
- 11:20throughout the triad. So this example is
- 11:23basically the same as the first example
- 11:25here. So now let's go over to the
- 11:30third example.
- 11:32It will all look the same. So I
- 11:34basically look for this logic every day.
- 11:37Remove this one here. So again, we have
- 11:40two highs here.
- 11:43We have a relevant high here to the left
- 11:45and we have this high here.
- 11:48So
- 11:50we can see price approach this high.
- 11:55And what are we doing? We are expanding
- 11:58through it. We are not reversing, not
- 12:01aggressive reversing down. So what can
- 12:03we look for? We can look for a
- 12:05consolidation into taking the range low
- 12:08into an expansion or we can look for a
- 12:10consolidation into expansion by creating
- 12:13an SMT or we can look for a shallow
- 12:16retracement into a new expansion phase.
- 12:18So what do we get here? We get our
- 12:20farewell gap again
- 12:23and we get our CISD out of it.
- 12:29You could have traded something like
- 12:30this once we closed above. You can put
- 12:33your stop loss in this gap here and you
- 12:36could have still squeezed out something
- 12:37like 2 R I think. Yeah, you could have
- 12:40squeezed out two R trading into this
- 12:42high here. So once again we are
- 12:46monitoring how we react to relevant um
- 12:494hour daily highs, weekly highs. It's
- 12:51all fractal. In this case we had a 4hour
- 12:54high. How are we we reacting from this
- 12:58um this level? Right?
- 13:01So that's basically the third example.
- 13:03So now let's go over to the last example
- 13:06of this video. This one is started on
- 13:08the daily. This is previous daily candle
- 13:11qualifying as a expansion candle. We are
- 13:14closing near its high. We expanded um
- 13:16after taking this low. We are failing to
- 13:19trade away from this high. So we can
- 13:21look at this high. We can form a new
- 13:24face of price. This is previous candle's
- 13:26range. So the new daily candle should
- 13:30not trade anywhere near to this 50%
- 13:33level and we should not form a large
- 13:35wick at the bottom and we trade an
- 13:39expansion phase. Right? So here we can
- 13:41look for a new expans a new phase at
- 13:43this high.
- 13:47So what's going to happen here? We had a
- 13:48daily high. What is the 4 hour doing?
- 13:52The 4hour is more in a retracement phase
- 13:55since we are not um aggressively trading
- 13:58away from this high. So we are retracing
- 14:00to for example this F value gap. So we
- 14:03have a retracement on the daily. We are
- 14:06still forming that small bottom wick
- 14:08qualifying for an expansion candle. We
- 14:10are still in premium of previous day
- 14:13range here as you can see. So we have
- 14:16our daily high in a new phase of price.
- 14:19we can look for a retracement into a
- 14:21continuation. So again we had our daily
- 14:24into 4 hour. Now we have our 4 hour into
- 14:28for example 5 minute here or I think I
- 14:32traded the 3 minute here. So we have our
- 14:364hour high. What is price doing here?
- 14:40You all can see we are aggressively
- 14:43trading away from the value gap forming
- 14:44a reversal signature. We have our
- 14:48Vshape here, V-shaped signature as a
- 14:51reversal.
- 14:53So, what are we doing at this high? Are
- 14:56we approaching the high and trading
- 14:58aggressive away from it forming a
- 15:00reversal or are we going to consolidate
- 15:04into a SMT going higher? Or are we going
- 15:07to consolidate taking the low range low
- 15:10and then going higher or do we form once
- 15:13again this fair value gap
- 15:16a continuation signature. So we approach
- 15:19the high we retrace and we form our
- 15:22continuation. Right? So again I traded
- 15:24this order block here.
- 15:27So I was monitoring this high. We traded
- 15:31to the high. We retraced and we formed a
- 15:33continuation and traded the continuation
- 15:36here
- 15:39for like 2 and 1/2 hour to
- 15:42to here. So that was a good trade. So to
- 15:46make a small summary of this video, the
- 15:49main thing I'm using is the uh new face
- 15:52of price around those highs and lows. Um
- 15:55I want to see what we are doing at the
- 15:57high. Are we reversing, retracing,
- 15:59consolidating?
- 16:01um to qualify for still a trade after we
- 16:03hit a relevant high. So a lot of people
- 16:06will will close charts once we hit the
- 16:08high but we can still look for
- 16:10continuations if we are not reversing
- 16:12from this high if we form one of the
- 16:14continuation signatures like I said
- 16:16consolidation SMT or consolidation range
- 16:18low or retracement into continuation.
- 16:22So this was basically the end of the
- 16:24video. I hope you all appreciated the
- 16:26video and um you guys learned something
- 16:28from the video how how I approach um the
- 16:31face of price. So, please leave a like
- 16:34and subscribe since I'm um already
- 16:36working on the next video. Peace.
