🏛️ Institutional rationale and convergence
Absolute Bearish Demand Block (OB): The 4,070.00-4,075.00 price area represents a complete supply zone where a strong institutional selling offset has arisen.
Higher time frame trend continuation: The prevailing overall structure on higher time frames remains decidedly bearish. This entry seeks to align retests on the lower time frame with the direction of the broader trend.
FOMC Liquidity Trigger: High-impact macro releases such as the FOMC often serve as the catalyst to sweep remaining buy-side liquidity into premium supply areas before facilitating a directional expansion to the downside.
⚙️ Risk management and implementation strategy
Entry Confirmation: Due to event-induced volatility, wait until the price enters the 4,070.00-4,075.00 range and shows lower time frame (1m/5m) rejection signatures (e.g., strong upper wicks or shifting market structure) before executing.
Position Sizing: Adjust lot sizes down to account for potential spread widening during a news event.
