What to look at first in this image
What stands out on the image is the blue horizontal lineH4 S 80 T3.
From the label, H4 is the 4-hour timeframe, S is a support candidate, 80 is a score estimate, and T3 is an estimate of the number of touches or reactions. In other words, this line is a candidate for a lower-price support on a 4-hour basis.as a price range that is likely to be watched as support on the 4-hour timeframe.
In the image, after price falls to near this H4 S line, it fluctuates around the line several times, briefly breaks below the line, but ultimately appears to move upward again.
The H4 S line is not a “buy here” signal. Observe whether the price holds, breaks below, or returns after breaking, and use this as a basis to consider multiple scenarios.
