Scenarios
Bullish — buyers hold 1.33627: the trigger is a 4-hour close back above 1.34000, which opens the path toward 1.34112. Confirmation strengthens if the hourly structure flips bullish as well. This view fails on a 4-hour close below 1.33627.
Bearish — sellers break 1.33627: the trigger is a 4-hour close under 1.33627, which exposes 1.33026 next. This view fails if price reclaims 1.34000 on a 4-hour close.
Neutral — chop between 1.33627 and 1.34000: both edges are the levels to watch; a 4-hour close outside picks the direction.
Levels are zones, not exact lines. Waiting for a 4-hour close beyond a level filters out most intraday noise.
Charts
A quick note on the SBT lens used below. Structure-Based Trading defines ten models, and every one of them is built on the same foundation: a proper 123 swing pattern, a break of structure (BOS), and a price-delivery array — an order block, fair-value gap or mitigation zone — where price is expected to react. Each chart reading names the SBT model forming on that timeframe when its criteria are actually visible, and says so plainly when none is.
Chart reading — D1: No clean 123 on this timeframe — price is drifting bullish inside its range. Price wicked into the supply zone 1.35761–1.36481 and held — sellers defended the PD array, the retest SBT Models 7/8 wait for. Equal highs/lows rest at 1.31312 (sell-side liquidity). A sweep there before the real move is the inducement leg SBT Models 7/8 look for — watch 1.33000 / 1.34000 for the follow-through.
Chart reading — H4: A bearish 123 is taking shape, but structure has not broken yet — no BOS means no model trigger on this timeframe. A wick probed the demand zone 1.33476–1.33778 and was absorbed — buyers defended the PD array, the retest SBT Models 7/8 wait for. The equal-high pool at 1.33027 holds resting sell-side liquidity. A sweep there before the real move is the inducement leg SBT Models 7/8 look for — watch 1.33627 / 1.34000 for the follow-through.
Chart reading — H1: No clean 123 on this timeframe — price is drifting neutral inside its range. A sharp excursion into the supply zone 1.34023–1.34123 got faded — sellers defended the PD array, the retest SBT Models 7/8 wait for. No equal-high/low liquidity pools nearby on this timeframe.
Chart reading — M15: A bullish 123 is taking shape, but structure has not broken yet — no BOS means no model trigger on this timeframe. A stop-run wick tagged the demand zone 1.33906–1.33952 and failed — buyers defended the PD array, the retest SBT Models 7/8 wait for. Turtle soup at 1.33969 — bearish liquidity swept, close back inside. Classic SBT Model 9/10.
