TRADING BASED ON A BOUNCE FROM A ZONE
TRADING BASED ON A BOUNCE FROM A ZONE
Bounce trading focuses on utilising price reversals that occur at support levels (support – bottom) or resistance levels (resistance – ceiling).
How does the Bounce strategy work?
The core principle of this strategy is that if a price has repeatedly risen or fallen to a certain level (support/resistance) and then bounced back, there’s a high probability that it will do the same in the future when it reaches that level again.
Tools for identifying Support and Resistance levels
1. Trendlines
A trendline is a diagonal line drawn by connecting two or more price highs or lows.
- In an uptrend, it highlights future support levels.
- In a downtrend, it indicates potential resistance.
2. Fibonacci Retracement
Fib retracement helps traders identify likely support and resistance zones where price pullbacks may occur.
3. Chart Patterns
Patterns (or formations) like double tops/bottoms or the head and shoulders formation can hint atl possible market reversals.
How to trade Bounce in different market conditions
1. Trending Market:
- Focus on pullbacks within the trend.
- Use Fib retracement to identify key support & resistance levels.
- Draw trendlines to pinpoint optimal entry zones.
2. Consolidating Market:
- Wait for a breakout from the consolidation range.
- Identify support and resistance within the range and trade accordingly.
- Enter trades only after a clear breakout above resistance or below support.
