Can I put it this way also? As you said about the 50% fibo, after 5567, retrace to 50% fibo, did not break 50% fibo, so bounce up to 5544 and hold as support (what time frame do you use to check if it holds as a support) and finally to retest 5567. ...

Ok, can I clarify is 5567 was the R3 which you closed your last long trade right? And I can see that the highest point so far of the uptrend is 5574. So meaning that in general, Cable will test the R3, retrace with a fake, retest the R3 again, and ...

How do you know this is a fake breakout? Can this be from the bounce of 50% of fib earlier?

What about 5522? Why do you ignore that resistance line? Is it because the 5509 coincides with the 200ma on the 5m so thus it is a very strong support line? Another question, how do you know when to trade ranges and when not to?
