Setup: Lateral Movement and Impulse
The strategy begins by identifying a clear lateral (sideways) movement in the market, followed by an impulsive, near-nonstop upward breakout. This impulse becomes the foundation for the entire trade.

Drawing the Fibonacci Grid
Draw the Fibonacci retracement grid from the start to the end of the impulse movement. The key level of interest is the 0.618 retracement, which serves as the primary entry zone.
[00:28]
Waiting for Reversal Confirmation
Do not enter immediately at the 0.618 level. Instead, wait for a reversal formation — specifically a reversal candle with a long lower tail and a shorter body at the top, indicating price rejection of the level.
[00:43]
Entry and Stop Loss Placement
Enter the position from the middle of the reversal candle. Place the stop loss behind the tail of the candle to protect against a failed reversal.
[00:58]
Profit Target and Risk-Reward
Set the profit target at the 0.236 Fibonacci level or the very top of the impulse. Even at the 0.236 level, the trade offers at least a 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
This Fibonacci-based strategy offers a simple, repeatable framework for trading pullbacks within a trend, prioritizing confirmation and risk management over impulsive entries.
