#### **1. Market Analysis** - **Timeframe:** Monthly - **Trend Direction:** Analyze the previous 12-24 months' candles to determine the dominant trend. - **Key Levels:** - Last Month's High (LMH) - Last Month's Low (LML)
#### **2. Identify Key Levels and Defense Zone** - **Last Month’s High:** Mark the high of the previous monthly candle on the chart. - **Fibonacci Vibration Grid (FVG):** - Use the Fibonacci retracement tool from the recent swing low to swing high or vice versa to plot the FVG levels. - Look for overlapping FVG zones above the last month’s high. - **Defense Zone:** - This is a resistance area formed by overlapping FVG levels and key price action zones. - Ensure the defense zone aligns with institutional order blocks or liquidity voids.
#### **3. Entry Conditions** - **Sell Trigger:** - Price must enter the area above last month’s high and into the identified defense zone. - Confirmation via bearish price action patterns (e.g., bearish engulfing, pin bar, or inside bar formations). - Look for rejection or significant wick formations in the defense zone.
#### **4. Risk Management** - **Stop Loss (SL):** - Place the SL slightly above the defense zone or the nearest swing high. - **Take Profit (TP):** - Set TP levels using: - Last Month’s Low (LML) as the primary target. - Extend TP to key support zones below LML if momentum supports further downside. - **Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR):** - Maintain a minimum RRR of 1:3.
#### **5. Additional Confluences** - **Last Line of Defense (LLD):** - Identify the LLD as the highest resistance point above the LMH where price may reverse. - Ensure it coincides with the FVG overlap and an institutional order block. - **Volume Analysis:** - Use the Volume Profile or On-Balance Volume (OBV) to assess institutional activity in the sell zone. - **Indicators (Optional):** - RSI divergence: Look for bearish divergence when price approaches the defense zone. - Moving Averages: Check for alignment with the bearish trend.
#### **6. Execution Plan** - Wait for price to approach and react within the defense zone. - Observe confirmation on lower timeframes (e.g., daily or 4H) for better precision in entries. - Scale into the position if the market provides multiple rejection points within the zone.
#### **7. Monitoring and Adjustments** - Reassess the trade if price closes above the defense zone on the monthly timeframe. - Trail the stop loss using key resistance levels or moving averages if the trade moves significantly in your favor.
