Did Gold Just Sweep the Low for a Reversal?After a clean sweep of the Previous Day’s Low (PDL) on XAUUSD, price reacted sharply, grabbing liquidity and signaling a possible shift in order flow. This forms the first pillar of my CRT model (Candle Range Theory) : Sweep, Break, Retest . Following the sweep, we observed a strong Break of Structure (BOS) , indicating bullish intent. We will then wait for price to retrace back to a FVG at a discount, and then execute the trade. The stop loss was logically placed just beneath the PDL sweep and FVG zone, protecting against deeper liquidity hunts. Take profit targets the next high where resting buy-side liquidity is likely to be engineered. This setup checks all the boxes: Sweep of PDL ✅ BOS confirming shift ✅ FVG retest for refined entry ✅ Solid RR and clean narrative ✅ This is a great example of how patience and a structured approach can create high-probability setups.

USDJPY: Will This CRT FVG Hold After the PWL Sweep?Price action on USDJPY reflects a clean execution of Candle Range Theory (CRT). Following a sweep of the Previous Week’s Low (PWL), price reacted from a higher timeframe demand zone, grabbing sell-side liquidity before printing a bullish Break of Structure (BOS). This BOS confirmed a shift in market intent and set the stage for a retracement into a clearly defined Fair Value Gap (FVG). I refined the entry on the 4H chart, waiting for price to return to the FVG zone, with risk placed just below the sweep wick. The target is mapped to the next logical supply above a cluster of equal highs and prior inefficiency. This setup reflects a high-conviction CRT play, built from top-down analysis and confluences rooted in market structure, liquidity, and imbalance logic.
