Playbook setup: break and hold below
Break and hold setup is after 1-2-3ACU my most favourite setup. What is the story behind it? In this bearish scenario a stronger support is established. Bears are slowly accumulating short positions above this (soon to be breakout) level leaving hints like lower higher creation. Then the level is broken strongly. Some of the bears are taking profits, some bullish stops are triggered some bearish limit orders are triggered. This escalates in a strong bearish move. After the price reaches a new extreme it starts to retraces back to its break out level. This means that market participants are bit tired, some already accomplished their targets and some are waiting for best opportunities. Where are the best opportunities? Well, again at the breakout level. If in FX would be one centralized exchange and you could see the order book, you would find most of the sell limit orders at the breakout level.
