Trade Setup

The 4-hour fresh level was strongly broken to the upside, indicating bullish momentum in the market. Following the breakout, price returned for a retest of a strong Daily level, creating a potential area of interest for a continuation move.

At this Daily level, a confirmation was received on the 1-hour timeframe, which further supported the bullish trade idea.

Later, during the morning session around 6:30–7:00 AM, additional confirmation was identified on the lower timeframes, specifically the 5-minute and 1-minute charts. These lower-timeframe confirmations provided the final entry trigger.

Based on the alignment between the 4H breakout, Daily-level retest, 1H confirmation, and 5M/1M entry confirmation, the trade was executed with the expectation of bullish continuation.

Trade Logic

4H → Breakout Fresh 4H level was strongly broken to the upside.

Daily → Retest Price returned to a strong Daily level, creating the main area of interest.

1H → Confirmation A valid confirmation appeared on the 1-hour timeframe.

5M & 1M → Entry Trigger Additional lower-timeframe confirmation was received around 6:30–7:00 AM, providing the final entry signal.

Key Takeaway

The trade was based on multi-timeframe confluence, where the higher-timeframe breakout and retest established the overall direction, while the lower timeframes were used to refine and confirm the entry.
