🔄 Step 2: Market Structure Shift on the 45-Minute (Confirmation)

After that reaction from the 4-hour block, the 45-minute timeframe gave us a Market Structure Shift (MSS).

What is a Market Structure Shift?

> Normally, a downtrend makes lower lows and lower highs. A Market Structure Shift happens when price suddenly breaks above a previous high telling us the trend may be changing from bearish to bullish.

✅ This was our second confirmation the medium-term trend is shifting upward.

⚡ Step 3: The 45-Minute Breaker Block Gets Triggered

Now here's where it gets interesting. After the structure shifted, price came back down and hit a Breaker Block on the 45-minute.

What is a Breaker Block?

> A breaker block is a candle (or group of candles) that previously caused a swing high or low to break. When price returns to that zone, it often acts as a strong zone launching price in the opposite direction.

✅ Price tapping into this breaker block confirmed that buyers were defending that level another green flag for a buy.

Step 4: Market Structure Shift on the 15-Minute (Entry Timeframe)

After the 45-minute breaker block was hit, the 15-minute chart also showed a Market Structure Shift meaning even on the smaller timeframe, the trend flipped bullish.

✅ This tells us the momentum has shifted on multiple timeframes ( 4H, 45M, and now 15M are all aligned bullish).

Step 5: Waiting for the Retracement (The Actual Entry)

Right now, we are not just jumping in randomly. The plan is to wait for price to pull back down to the 15-minute Breaker Block (the pink/highlighted zone you see on the chart).

Why wait for the retracement?

> Entering at the breaker block gives us a better price, a tighter stop loss, and a much bigger reward. This is how professional traders get in, they let price come to them, not chase it.

✅ Once price taps that 15-minute breaker block zone, that is the buy entry.

I cant understand because there are no images, the timeframes you are referring to such as 4 hour etc. you didn't attach any image so its not practical

It's just a strategy I've built to understand ... You'll understand better gradually.

Please when does this nikkei 225 market open each day?

🇯🇵 Nikkei 225 Market Hours

The Tokyo Stock Exchange runs two sessions daily (Monday–Friday):

- Morning: 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM (Tokyo Time)

- Afternoon: 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM (Tokyo Time)

However, since I'm trading the Japan 225 CFD on FOREX.com, the broker likely offers extended hours almost 24/5. Always check your broker's platform for the exact open and close times.

The best time to trade is at the Tokyo open (9:00 AM JST) when volume and volatility are highest. 🎯

This is the result of sticking to your strategy.

The it's massive...and going as analyzed earlier today.
