Major Trend Reversal: Low of the Day and a Trendline Break Test

• Strong bear spike on the open.
• Bulls broke a trendline and tested for the low of the day attempt.
• On the first day, the test formed a higher low; on the second day, it was a lower low.
• How would you participate? Would you stay short or flat until bulls showed strength?
• A possible swing long setup formed.
• The test of the double bottom had a three-push move, a common reversal structure.
• This is also a dueling lines pattern—where a three-push move tests support before reversing.

🔍 Check your charts: Have you seen this type of reversal before? If so, how could you improve your execution next time?

Wedge Pullback Long on the Open

• Both days opened with a three-push leg that wasn’t very strong, setting up multiple buy signals for a swing up.
• On the first day, the three legs were more horizontal—bulls never got stopped out.
• On the second day, the legs were more vertical, leading to stronger momentum.

🎯 How do you handle these pullbacks? Do you wait for confirmation, or are you comfortable entering on opposite weakness?

Bull Breakout, Always in Long, First Pullback

• Why are these two days similar when one had a big gap down and the other a small gap up?
• Because both days went always-in long on the open.
• On the first day, lots of bull bars and a two-legged pullback confirmed strength.
• A big bull bar setup the trade of the day.
• On the second day, the market gapped up above yesterday’s high, forming a bull breakout.
• The pullback created an H2 (second entry long)—a strong buy signal.
• The second buy signal occurred above both moving averages—buying the entry or the follow-through provided a solid swing trade.

📌 Next time you see a strong open, will you recognize the first pullback as a high-probability entry?

Gap Up, Second Entry Short Was the High of the Day

• The first day opened with a gap up and consecutive bear bars, signaling a possible swing down.
• Traders waiting for a second entry short saw it become the high of the day.
• On the second day, there was another gap up, but this time with weak bull bars, tails, and an inside bar with bad follow-through.
• A second entry short set up again.
• Why was the second day similar? Because the market never traded above the second entry short level.
• If you used correct stop placement, you wouldn’t have lost money.

📊 Look at your past trades—how often does a gap up lead to a second entry short? Is this something you could integrate into your strategy?

Gap Up and 3rd Good Buy Signal (H3)

• Both days gapped up and went sideways on the open, forming a similar pattern.
• Each session had three pushes down, but neither was able to create a strong bear trend.
• On the first day, the price action was more horizontal—taking the third buy signal (H3) was the trade of the day.
• On the second day, waiting for the third buy signal again led to another strong trade.

📌 Do you track how often the third push leads to a reversal? If not, consider adding this to your trading review process.
