#CryptoCPIWatch 📊 Do you want a "CPI Reaction" strategy for intraday trading?
🕐 Step 1: Prepare the ground before the data
⏳ 30–60 minutes before the CPI:
✔ Mark key support and resistance zones (M15 and M5).
✖ Avoid trading right before (high volatility without clear direction).
📊 Check the expected consensus of the CPI (e.g. 3.4%) on ForexFactory or Investing.com.
🔔 Step 2: Wait for the publication
📅 The CPI is released at 8:30 a.m. ET / 8:30 a.m. New York Time (8:30 a.m. VEN).
📈 Step 3: "Twin Candles" strategy (5 min after the data)
1️⃣ Analyze the first two 1-minute candles:
✅ If they are large and in the same direction: Wait for a pullback and trade in favor of it.
⚠️ If they are mixed or have long wicks: Wait for confirmation (it could be a false breakout).
2️⃣ Ideal entry:
🎯 Break of structure in M1-M5.
📊 Use RSI (strength) and MACD (cross/histogram expansion).
3️⃣ Risk management:
🔻 Maximum risk 1%.
🛑 Adjusted Stop Loss (5–10% of the initial movement).
💰 Aim for +12% profit (partial take profit if there are doubts).
🧠 Psychological advice
😌 Do not trade out of emotion if you miss the first move.
🔄 Post-news "pullbacks" tend to be more profitable than the initial move.
