Once you've identified the macro bias from the daily chart, you drop to the 4H for structure and then to the 15-minute for precision entries. The 15-minute chart reveals exactly where buyers and sellers are positioned around the key 4H levels — giving you the cleanest entry.
15min chart → find entry confirmation candles (wicks, patterns) AT the 4H levels
First test of a new 4H level on the 15-minute chart = cleanest, lowest-risk entry
Breakdown S/R: old support (now resistance) on retest = short entry
Lesson
Short Entry at Breakdown S/R Flip
The breakdown S/R flip is a mirror of the breakout S/R flip. Price broke below a key support level — that support is now resistance. On the 15-minute chart, when price rallies back up to test that level, you have a short entry with very clean risk.
Identify the 4H breakdown level — where did support break?
After the breakdown, price often rallies back to retest the broken support as resistance
On the 15-minute chart: look for upper wicks, shooting stars, or bearish engulfing AT the flip level
Stop loss: just above the S/R flip level
Target: the next significant S/R level lower
The first retest is the cleanest — later retests have more uncertainty
This pattern works across all timeframes — the concept scales up and down
Check Yourself
The 4H chart broke below $100 (a key support level). On the 15-minute chart, price has now rallied back up and is touching $100 from below. What should you expect and what is the trade?
● S/R flip — $100 is now resistance. Look for a short entry here.
● $100 reclaimed — it's back to support. Buy the breakout upward.
● The level is invalidated once broken — ignore it and wait.
