Market Structure Analysis

1. Identifying the Primary Market Structure: The first step in technical analysis is identifying the primary market structure. In an uptrend, the primary structure forms when the price creates higher highs (HH) and breaks previous highs (HL). In other words, whenever the price sets a new high and breaks the prior highs, it is a sign of the continuation of the uptrend.

In a downtrend, the primary structure is defined when the price breaks previous lows (LH) and creates new lows (LL). Thus, whenever the price sets a new low and breaks the priors lows, it indicates the continuation of the downtrend.

2. Analyzing Market Character Change: The next step in chart analysis is to examine the market character change, which helps confirm trend reversals. Market character change involves identifying points where the market trend may reverse. This concept is one of the core principles of the Smart Money style. A character change occurs when the low or high that caused the breakout is broken again after a breakout of an uptrend or downtrend.

Major Structure Breakout and Major Character Change

On the 5-minute (USD/JPY) chart, the price creates higher highs and lows and breaks previous highs, indicating a major structure breakout (Major BOS). When the price reverses and breaks the low, which leads to the formation of new highs and breaks the structure, a major character change (Major CHOCH) occurs, signaling a major trend reversal.

Minor Structure Breakout and Minor Character Change

In the 30-minute Gold chart, the BOS-CHOCH with Label Indicator helps analyze market conditions by identifying and plotting both major and minor structure breakouts and character changes. Using different colors, the indicator enhances price trend analysis:

• Major character change is displayed in red.
• Minor character change is shown in pink.
• Major structure breakout is marked in turquoise.
• Minor structure breakout is displayed in blue.

A minor structure breakout occurs when the price creates new highs or lows and breaks previous highs or lows within a larger structure (primary structure). A minor character change occurs when the price within the primary structure breaks the high or low, which causes the breakout. This tool benefits ICT and Smart Money traders as it allows them to conduct a more accurate market analysis.
