ENTRY
Daily // 4H // 1H // 30m
Analysis
get context for the set-up (what you want to see: clean impulse, choppy correction)
Range on daily and price has bullish momentum, on an upswing likely to test the resistance area. Trend on 1H defined by 150SMA. Buy order was +1ATR away from the coil, likewise with the stop loss. Not the best entry with regards to the closeness to the SMA but the impulse and coil might suggest otherwise.
The correction structure is unclear on the 1H timeframe but seems like a flat 5-3-5 when seen on the 15m.
Criteria
TREND on entry timeframe determined by SMA if subjective (✓)
IMPULSE registering ADX>25 (✓) ADX39
COIL structure clear formation relative to prior impulse (✓)
