————-- 001 - Market Cycles
Lets first get you sorted on the setup we want to run during EXODUS.
When it comes to understanding market cycles, my favorite is to be in sync with wallstreet, IE -> NEW YORK time, so UTC -4. or UTC -5 ( depending on savings )
How it looks like on tradingview above!
This allows us to remain native to new york open/close sessions. Lets move directly onto the specific times where you will be looking for liquidity before jumping into market cycles:
- Highs/lows of our Asia session ; between 08:00 PM - 00:00 AM NY TIME
- Highs/lows of our London session ; between 02:00 AM to 05:00 AM NY TIME
- Highs/lows of New York session ; between 07:00 AM to 10:00 AM NY TIME
- Highs/lows of the Equity open ; 09:30 AM NY TIME
Now that we got that out of the way lets begin with market cycles, which is closely linked with delivery.
Lets begin with the daily range that we like to focus on. It's a light concept, not too significant, but will open your eyes when you see the occurrence repeat day after day.
The daily range for us is from 12:00 AM (midnight) to 03:00 PM.
Daily ranges play with purpose, as we mentioned quite a lot. Price either delivers bullish/bearsish or consolidates. Each of these plays having a purposes for your HTF narrative, in this case the weekly which we mentioned.
We will dive into sessions later with more in-depth details.
But let me introduce you to the first one :
From NY midnight onwards our daily range begins. We expect during London, EU session, at the start to run liquidity. Creating either the Low or high of the day. (LOD/HOD) at the start of the session. Then during NY we either a retracement/continuation which runs from 11:00 - 12:00 creating the opposite side of the range. If we create the LOD/HOD during the London open, we can then expect that during NY noon, 11:00 AM - 01:00 PM NY time, the opposite side of that range to form, so either the high/low on the other side.
Majority of the volume that displaces is in-between the London and NY overlap. Remember that.
————-- 002 - Daily Rhythm
Right, so daily rhythm is as followed.
During asia session, often enough we see that it starts with a consolidation. This somewhat dead range in the market.
What we see often enough, especially after NY midnight, is the liquidity fuel that gets accumulated in opposing to the anticipated direction of that day. This happens often enough during the start of London session/open.
That accumulation of liquidity sets the London Low/high of the day and sets off from there.
Price usually consolidates between the 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM NY time, where we will then see the retracement going into the 8:00 - 8:30 AM during NY open. From here we have the direction we see with the knowledge we saw from London.
That's the beauty of the london session, it gives us good insightful information that we can use during New York.
London close gives us another lift off of volume, another chance where displacements occur in the order books, as europe is closing their books around that time for intra-day positioning.
Then from there we usually see the market consolidate and head into dead time once again.
All in all it's a lot of theory, but I want you to start noticing the pattern recognition within these daily cycles so it becomes second nature for you and that you can understand when the markets are on beat/off beat.
————-- 003 - Cycle Examples
Before we showcase some examples, lets first talk about some important factors to understand from the rhythm;
Everything begins with a consolidation, that is when the markets are quiet. This is where the liquidity and volume in the market is injected. Building up orders for the market making capable participants
From consolidations onwards, the most logical move is an expansion, this gives us one of the three formulas:
1. Consolidation -> Expansion
2. Retracement -> Expansion
3. Reversal -> Expansion -> Consolidation
It's cyclical, you see this often on weekly scales as well.
It might still sound a bit ambiguous but lets clarify with some examples.
Here is a classic buy case scenario, where the daily delivery is bullish
https://www.tradingview.com/x/cRKiD2sI/
You see the trap created in London, we take out that bullish trap and then create that low of the day, fuel liquidity after taking it for the move up.
New York follows very nicely to deliver a perfect continuation up until the dead time.
Classic sell case scenario, where daily delivery is bearish
https://www.tradingview.com/x/HJ33HAzd/
Trap we created in London, creating that high of the day, to fuel the move downwards, and you see New York delivers the continuation until the dead time
Here is the textbook note you can keep along side:
Buy side :
Sell side :
here are also two sideways examples where price just consolidates, these obviously come in two manners, bullish or bearish forms
