EUR/USD – 15m Time Frame Analysis | April 20, 2025
On the 15-minute chart, we observe compression just below the Daily Order Block (D OB), along with a clean BOS and minor liquidity sweeps. This kind of structure often precedes significant moves and provides refined entry opportunities for intraday trades.
The market may induce early shorts or sweep minor lows before shifting structure bullishly. Look for:
- Short-term liquidity grab (e.g., sweep of a previous low)
- BOS on the 1m–5m for confirmation
- Entry with tight SL and RR targeting the break of the D OB
Scalping Plan:
- Bias: Bullish (with micro confirmation)
- Entry Zone: Below D OB (post-sweep / inducement)
- Trigger: BOS + fair value gap / breaker
- Target: Break and retest of D OB or continuation to MFH
This timeframe offers great timing for entries in confluence with the higher timeframes, especially the 4H DZ and the Daily OB zone.
🧠Additional Thought Process – 15m TF
If we do not get a pullback supported by a fake breakout above the Daily OB, it likely means that price is entering the confirmation phase of the Daily OB itself — in which case, long setups become even more valid.
The current Zone of Interest (ZOI) is overlapping with the 4h demand zone, which adds extra confluence. This overlap increases the probability of bullish reaction, especially since the zone is sitting right around the 50% equilibrium of the recent impulse leg.
I expect the initial reaction to occur within this ZOI, followed by a more refined entry setup on the 5m chart. If that fails to confirm or price rejects the zone, the next point of interest is the extreme 4H demand zone further below.
