Price Action @ Confluence Zones

Hey Guys,

I wanted to get the feedback of fellow traders new and experienced on the way they take reversals and continuation in confluence zones in trending markets between 5m-4 hour charts. In the spot fx market.

I understand that continuations make up 65-70% of developed market patterns and reversals make up 30-35%.

To my understanding for price action to make a continuation it usually stabs through the Support/Resistance zone or a momentum candle then pullbacks, which may been seen in lower timeframes for it to hold to make a continuation. Reversals usually make a pin bar reversal signal at a major structure level or between 38.2 - 78.6% fib level at times a double pin bar. I also seen at times price hugging the S&R lines especially in the Asian session coming into Europe for price to pullback and breakout only for it to fake out and then breakdown or a true breakout after a false breakout. Also, price tends to have a control point at 00 numbers with it either poking through and reversing or blasting through and continuing.

What's your experience been like? Please stick to the topic.

You nailed it on the head! I notice exactly what you do!

Some pairs I think tend to breakout better than others and also considering the TF makes a difference.

I think if you go down to 5M you will get a higher fakeout % overall, but nothing to back it up and just my opinion.

To me, the weekly/daily and then 4HR is the easiest and the GBPJPY is the best breakout pair for continuation or reversal.

Oh no my secrets are not a secret anymore! lol

Yeah, the GBP/JPY is good as well as the USD/CHF and GBP/USD on breakouts the EUR/USD has a lot of fakeouts in my experience. Has there every been a study done by anyone through the major pairs on fakeouts?
