@marbsfx: 1. **Trend Continuation Patterns:** The chart illustrates two main continuation setups: Rally-Base-Rally and Drop-Base-Drop. Following a strong directional move and a brief consolidation ("base"), price creates an order block ("demand" or "supply"). Traders wait for a pullback to retest this newly created zone before entering in the direction of the original trend. 2. **Trend Reversal Patterns:** The Drop-Base-Rally and Rally-Base-Drop setups demonstrate classic trend reversal order blocks. After a downward move, a consolidation and subsequent strong rally create a demand zone; conversely, an upward move followed by consolidation and a sharp drop creates a supply zone. Entries are taken when price returns to these zones for a retest. 3. **Order Block (OB) Patterns:** These patterns focus on high-probability zones often accompanied by a Break of Structure (BOS). In Drop-OB-Drop (bearish) or Rally-OB-Rally (bullish), an established zone (the OB) acts as a critical entry point. The strategy emphasizes waiting for the price to return to the OB to confirm a high-probability trade entry upon the retest. #tradingtips #fyp #tradingtips #forextrader #SMCtrading
