Trend-first FX walls stay a hypothesis until a second touch, RSI recross, or failed break

Map the weekly walls, then withhold the idea

Currency price paths are described as zigzags. A prior high that later stalls an advance is labeled resistance. A prior low that later stalls a decline is labeled support. Those horizontal floors and ceilings are the weekly wall map.

Editorial. TradersWeek treats that weekly map as a hypothesis, not an order. Combination analysis here is a withhold-until-confirmed classroom drill: the idea stays on the board until a second touch, a relative-strength-index recross of 70 or 30, or a failed range break closes back inside the prior zone.

Draw support and resistance from aligned swings

Resistance is drawn from two or more aligned candle highs with no higher high between them. A close above that line is treated as a long signal, with a stop placed above the broken resistance or, on a short, at the prior candle high.

Support is drawn from two or more aligned candle lows with no lower low between them. A close below that line is treated as a short signal, with a stop placed below the broken support or, on a long, at the prior candle low.

Role-reversal follows a close through the line. A broken resistance line is later treated as support, and a broken support line is later treated as resistance.

Psychological-round-number prices ending in two, three, or four zeros are treated as widely watched stalls. Four-zero endings are ranked as the strongest of those markers.

Take level ideas only with the named trend

After trend direction is named, long ideas are taken at support only in an uptrend and short ideas are taken at resistance only in a downtrend.

Fibonacci retracement is applied only after that trend is identified. It is drawn high-to-low in a downtrend and low-to-high in an uptrend. One daily downtrend example held at the 50.00 retracement as resistance. One daily uptrend example held at the 38.2 retracement as support.

Confirm with a second touch, an RSI recross, or a failed break

One four-hour example marked a resistance zone at 114.900 that reversed on three tests, while support was tested twice and the second test printed a pin bar. Entries are reserved for levels that have already been touched at least twice.

In a quiet range with usable distance between the walls, relative-strength-index is the wait filter. Shorts wait until the oscillator falls back through 70 rather than at first overbought. Longs wait until it crosses back up through 30 rather than at first oversold.

A breakout is a close through a mapped wall, or a failed push that leaves the range and then closes back inside. A failed range break that then closes back inside the prior resistance or support zone is treated as the range-trade trigger.

Keep weekly highs and lows in charge

Higher-timeframe-priority maps weekly walls on the larger chart so lower-timeframe swings do not override the more significant highs and lows. Higher-timeframe highs and lows are treated as more significant than the same structure on a lower timeframe.

Editorial. Until one of the three gates prints, the weekly wall remains a hypothesis. The second touch, the 70 or 30 recross, or the failed break that closes back inside is what turns that hypothesis into a classroom trade idea.
