Across the 1H, 30M, and 15M timeframes, the market structure has shifted from a clear bearish downtrend (characterized by lower highs and lower lows from the 1,070 peak) into a consolidation and accumulation phase. The 1H chart shows the price stabilizing above the 951.42 support level, while the 15M and 5M charts reveal a shift in character (CHoCH) where local highs are being taken out (e.g., pushing up to 997.36 on the 5M), indicating that short-term momentum is shifting from sellers to buyers, though the macro structure is still recovering.

While a perfect, textbook Gartley pattern isn't explicitly drawn on these charts, the price action mimics the "CD" leg of a potential bullish Gartley or Butterfly setup. The drop from 1,024.35 to the 951.42 low represents the completion of an impulsive move. The current price action (hovering around 988) represents the beginning of the corrective/retracement phase (CD leg) upward. If we apply Gartley logic, the 988 level acts as the 0.618 to 0.786 retracement zone of the recent leg down, suggesting a potential reversal point to the upside if it holds, with an initial target toward the 1,000-1,020 zone.

K Line Analysis

· 1H: The Bollinger Bands are narrowing significantly, indicating a squeeze and impending volatility. The price is currently testing the middle band (MB: 988.29). The MACD is flat near the zero line, showing indecision but a slight bullish bias as the green histogram bars are attempting to form.
· 30M & 15M: The price is riding the upper Bollinger Band, showing short-term strength. The MACD on the 30M has crossed bullish above the zero line (DIF 0.74 > DEA -1.94). The 15M shows a consolidation after a strong pump, holding above the middle band.

On the 5M and 15M charts, we see a series of Bullish Marubozu and Hammer candles around the 951-970 range, indicating strong rejection of lower prices. Currently, on the 5M, the price is printing Doji and small-bodied candles near the 988 resistance. This indicates a "tug-of-war" or consolidation before the next move. A break and close above the recent 997.36 high on the 5M would confirm a bullish continuation pattern (Bullish Flag breakout).

I predict a short-term bullish continuation. The market has absorbed the selling pressure and is consolidating near local highs rather than dumping back to the lows. I expect the price to break the immediate resistance at 997 and test the 1,000-1,010 psychological level, with a potential retest of the 24h High at 1,024.35.

🔴What Trade Plan I Follow and Why❓️

I will follow a Long (Buy) Scalp/Swing plan.

· Why: The multi-timeframe confluence supports a bounce. The 1H MACD is flattening out, the 15M/30M MACD is bullish, and the 5M is consolidating in a tight range (Flag pattern). The risk-to-reward ratio for a long here is favorable because the support at 970-975 is well-defined.

🔴When I Start My Trade❓️

I will enter the trade only on a confirmed breakout. I will not buy the middle of the chop at 988. I will wait for a 5M or 15M candle to close above 998-1,000. This confirms the breakout of the local resistance and the resumption of the uptrend.

Short-term Bullish. The structure is shifting from bearish to neutral/bullish. The market is coiled (Bollinger Squeeze) and ready for a move. Long entry above 1,000, with a stop-loss below the recent 5M higher low (around 975), targeting 1,020+.
