Скачать или смотреть Reversal Patterns Explained: How to Spot Trend Changes in Swing Trading

Learn how to trade reversal patterns for swing trading using higher timeframe context. Most traders spot reversal patterns like double tops, head and shoulders patterns, or engulfing candles and immediately take counter-trend trades, ignoring whether these reversal patterns are forming at monthly premium zones where reversals work, or just mid-trend noise.

I break down reversal patterns using two swing trading examples: USDJPY showing structure shift reversal (2.25R) and Gold showing order flow shift reversal (4R-7R), demonstrating when reversal patterns work and when to ignore them.

What You'll Learn:

✅ Why 80% of reversal patterns fail without higher timeframe context
✅ Two reversal pattern entry methods: structure shift vs order flow shift
✅ USDJPY reversal pattern breakdown: external range raid to 2.25R
✅ Gold reversal pattern: pre-structure entry for 4R-7R potential
✅ How to identify reversal patterns at monthly premium/discount zones
✅ When to enter reversal patterns before vs after structure breaks

The Framework:

Reversal patterns are price action formations that signal trend changes in swing trading only when they occur at key higher timeframe levels where external range liquidity has been raided. Reversal patterns like head and shoulders, double tops, and engulfing candles only work when patterns form in context of higher timeframe swing trading strategy.

Most traders spot reversal patterns and immediately enter with no context. Some reversal pattern trades win, some lose, with no framework for which reversal patterns to trade and which to ignore.

USDJPY Reversal Pattern:

HTF Context: 12-hour with weekly overlay. Uptrend respecting lows into external range liquidity at weekly high. Price closes above high, sells off. Market structure shift when price closes below swing point. Bearish price leg forms. Order block created as last buy before sell. Fair value gaps form showing imbalance.

Entry Strategy: Short from fair value gap. Stop covers liquidation or swing point. Target one: 1.12R. Target two: 2.25R. Extended: 2.5R.

Two Reversal Pattern Methods:

Method One - Structure Shift: Price raids external range liquidity, structural shift occurs. Enter after confirmed shift. Safer approach. Trade continuation after reversal confirmed.

Method Two - Order Flow Shift: Enter before structure shift. Price raids highs, shows order flow change. Better R-multiples entering early. Higher risk as structure unconfirmed.

Gold Reversal Pattern:

HTF Setup: Price breaks above weekly high, closes inside previous range. Liquidation confirmed. Order flow shift occurs. Swing point intact, no structure break yet.

Entry Options: Option one, enter early before structure shift. Cover swing point. Target: 1.5R. Extended targets: 4R. Option two, wait for confirmation. Price creates new internal range liquidity. Target: 1.84R. Extended: 6-7R.

Why Reversal Patterns Work:

Market makers print reversal patterns everywhere. Patterns only work at key higher timeframe levels after external range liquidity raids. Monthly premium zones for shorts. Monthly discount zones for longs. External range liquidation points where institutional orders accumulate.

How to Apply Reversal Patterns:

Establish higher timeframe bias for reversal pattern trading. Wait for raids of external range liquidity at key levels where reversal patterns work. Ensure reversal patterns formed in proper swing trading context. Enter at right place with proper stops.

My Process:

I track 32 forex pairs for swing trading reversal patterns including gold, silver, Bitcoin. I track 12-hour price action in conjunction with monthly, two-weekly, weekly closes. Once you get good at trading reversal patterns, you can do it in 10-15 minutes daily.

Perfect For:

Traders taking reversal pattern trades that fail mid-trend. Anyone learning reversal patterns for swing trading. Swing traders wanting higher win rates on reversal patterns. Forex traders combining reversal patterns with HTF analysis. Traders frustrated by inconsistent reversal pattern results.
