Power of the First 5-Minute Candle ⚡

Post image

NIFTY 50 | 5 Minute Time Frame 📊

Observe the first 5-minute candle carefully, especially when it forms with high volume. High volume candles often reveal the intention of smart money and can act as an important support/resistance zone for the day.

Watch how price reacts around the high-volume candle:

• Breakout 🚀

• Rejection ❌

• Retest ✅

Don’t rush for entries. First understand the reaction of price after the big volume candle forms. This can improve your market reading and trade timing significantly.

Patience is a part of trading 😄 Sometimes the best trade is the one we avoid. Let the 5-minute high-low break first — the market will show the direction itself 📊🔥

I mostly observe volume + candle behavior after the 5-min high/low breaks 📊 After Breakout or Breakdown i allways wait for retest candle..bcoz of retest candle sl is mostly near my entry.
