First example are the full suite of fibs that you set up on a high level, second set of fibs are the target entry fibs
Then, the most important thing is this:
Set your fibs up on the timeframe ABOVE the timeframe you intend on trading on.
Eg I would set fibs up on the 4H if I was going to trade on the 1H, or I would use the 1H to trade on the 15M, or the 15M to trade on the 5M
4H & 1H below:
Then what you want to do is fire up the 200 EMA
If price is trading below the EMA, then only focus on shorts.
If price is trading above the EMA, then only focus on longs
REMEMBER: Trade with the trend if you're struggling with counter trend moves
This is your directional bias
Then, we add the Stochastic RSI (free indicator on @tradingview)
I keep the 14,3,3 settings if I use this - settings are shown here
Then the last ingredient is Market Structure.
I call it the Structured Fib Method because we are using our fib set ups to simply beat the previous market structure.
We don't aim for extravagant targets, we simply have one target and no TP's.
(keep reading!)
Notice how the previous market structure was beaten (ie previous swing low) - this then offers us up a potential upcoming short as:
- We are under the 200 EMA
and
- Have broken previous market structure (lower low)
How do we trade this?
Keep going!

So we've got our overall fibs in play from the 4H. These are the key levels you want to look for entry on.
If you also pull your entry fibs and there is confluence with both sets of fibs, and under 200EMA for a short, then you're laughing
0.618 levels lining up on the below:
One more thing though, you're also looking for one more bit of confluence:
The Stochastic RSI
If shorting, this ideally should be oversold (above 80 - see blue circle), but I'm sharing this example with you to show that even lower signals can be good entries too (red circle)
So this trade lined up with the 0.618 level of the overall fibs, the 0.618 level of the target fibs, and the Stoch RSI was also on it's way to oversold.
This would have been just under 2R if you took the trade.
So that's it.
Simple as fuck right? Give it a whirl yourself
RECAP
- Draw your overall fibs on the TF above the TF you want to trade
- Wait for market structure to be broken
- Pull entry fibs
- Aim for oversold or overbought Stoch RSI levels
- Trade with the trend (200 EMA)
- Aim for prev MS only
This method can be used on any timeframe, and can be used for both long and shorting opportunities.
For longs, just flip the method ie directional bias for longs when price is trading above the 200EMA, Stoch RSI is oversold, and market structure has been beaten
It's been a while, so say hi to the old chook for me, keep smashing the trading, and stay hungry!

We have a Fair Value Gap that is presented to us in the form of a bullish $500 candle, where a portion of the candle's body has no exploratory wick or body from another immediate candle to balance price.
Liquidity
Note the liquidity in the form of buyside liquidity has been claimed also from the range high already.
We'd typically expect that with a range, that we alternate between range high and low for liquidity.
I wanted to share this with you to show how a narrative can be built.
You know the drill, you can use this across #cryptocurrencies or any market, from $BTC, $ETH, $SOL $OMG $DOGE, hell, even $SHIB (shameless tags!)
Let's take a look:
The first key item to be drawn to here is the double bottom at range low.
Traders place their stops just below these levels, assuming that price will rise, which creates a liquidity pool which is subsequently taken out for a move upwards.
We can then see just above mid range, that a Fair Value Gap is apparent, even though price has traded close to filling this area.
