Pattern Description:
Between 3:00 AM and 11:00 AM, the price consistently moves above the upper Bollinger Band trendline on a 5-minute chart. This pattern is characterized by the price “bouncing” off the trendline, making higher highs, and maintaining bullish momentum.

Trading Rules:

  1. Entry: Enter a long trade when the price:
    • Breaks above the upper Bollinger Band and stays above it for 1–2 candles.
    • Shows consistent bounces off the trendline, confirming support.
    • When price drops to the trendline, get in a position with the following stoploss.
  2. Stop Loss: Set the stop loss just below the upper bound of VWAP (1 standard deviation above VWAP).
  3. Take Profit: Target a move of +100 points or use a trailing stop to capture extended moves.
  4. Confirmation Indicators (optional):
    • RSI shows bullish momentum (e.g., above 50).
    • 50 EMA slopes upward, indicating a strong uptrend.
    • Price closes below trendline.

Risk Management:

  • Adjust position size based on the distance between the entry price and the stop loss.
  • Ensure proper reward-to-risk ratio. The better the entry is (closer to trendline and VWAP), the lower your risk becomes which means you can take a larger position.

Considerations:

  • Avoid trading near major news events or at low-volume times.
  • Monitor price behavior after entry; exit early if price loses momentum and closes below the upper Bollinger Band.
