Mastery learn to read Price like a ProUS100SKILLING:US100MR_GOLD_12Market structure is the foundation of technical analysis. Before looking for a Buy or Sell entry, traders should first understand whether the market is moving Bullish, Bearish, or changing direction. In this guide, we explain how to identify the important highs and lows created by price and how these points help us understand the current market trend. BULLISH MARKET STRUCTURE A bullish market normally creates: Higher Highs (HH) + Higher Lows (HL) When price continues to create new Higher Highs while holding Higher Lows, it shows that buyers are maintaining control and the bullish structure remains intact. The key lesson is: ➡️ Higher High = Price creates a new high above the previous high. ➡️ Higher Low = Price pulls back but holds above the previous important low. ➡️ Continued HH + HL = Bullish structure remains strong. BEARISH MARKET STRUCTURE A bearish market normally creates: Lower Lows (LL) + Lower Highs (LH) When price continues making Lower Lows and Lower Highs, sellers remain in control and the bearish structure stays intact. The key lesson is: ➡️ Lower Low = Price creates a new low below the previous low. ➡️ Lower High = Price pulls back but fails to break the previous high. ➡️ Continued LL + LH = Bearish structure remains strong. BOS — BREAK OF STRUCTURE BOS (Break of Structure) helps traders identify potential trend continuation. When price breaks an important previous swing point in the direction of the existing trend, it can provide confirmation that the current structure is continuing. CHoCH — CHANGE OF CHARACTER CHoCH (Change of Character) is used to identify a possible change in market behavior. When price breaks an important structural level against the current trend, it can be an early indication that the market may be preparing for a reversal. However, a CHoCH should not automatically be treated as a guaranteed reversal. Traders should wait for additional confirmation and proper risk management. WHAT WE WANT TO TEACH Our goal with this educational series is to help traders stop looking at the chart as random candles and start reading the story behind price movement. We want you to learn how to: 1. Identify whether the market is Bullish or Bearish. 2. Mark important Swing Highs and Swing Lows. 3. Recognize HH, HL, LH and LL. 4. Understand BOS and CHoCH. 5. Identify possible continuation and reversal situations. 6. Build your analysis around market structure before taking a trade. 7. Understand that patience, confirmation and risk management are just as important as finding an entry. 📚 The objective is not simply to give you a Buy or Sell signal. The objective is to teach you WHY price may move in a particular direction and how to analyze the market yourself.
