The Market Start daily with either an “A pattern” or “a V pattern”. The “A pattern” is a first a bull structure where the market moves up in a zig zag format, before meeting a resistance point and retraces back to form an “A pattern”. While the “V pattern” start with a bearish structure before meeting a support and retraces back up to form a “V pattern”
If you want to trade the A pattern, even if you don’t understand anything on Forex, watch the candle stick pattern, once the price breaks the previous low as the bull momentum is gathering, look for a sell entry at the next resistance point. The same thing goes for the “V pattern”, once the price break the previous high, look for a buy opportunity.
