ICT Concepts for FX and GOLD traders: 2025 edition🔍 ICT (Inner Circle Trader) is a trading methodology developed by Michael J. Huddleston. It focuses on market structure, smart money concepts (SMC), and how institutions manipulate liquidity to trap retail traders.
📚 It's not about indicators or over-complication — it's about reading the price action like a pro, understanding where liquidity is, and trading with the banks, not against them.
📐 1. Market Structure
Understand Highs & Lows: Identify break of structure (BOS) and change of character (CHOCH)
Follow the macro to micro flow: D1 > H4 > M15 for precision entries
🧱 2. Order Blocks (OBs)
An order block is the last bullish or bearish candle before a major price move.
Banks and institutions place large orders here.
Smart traders look for price to return to these areas (mitigation), then enter with tight stop losses.
👉 Think of OBs as institutional footprints on the chart.
💧 3. Liquidity Zones
Equal highs/lows, trendline touches, support/resistance — these are liquidity traps.
ICT teaches that price often hunts liquidity before reversing. That’s why many retail traders get stopped out.
Learn to trade into liquidity, not off it.
🔄 4. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Also called imbalances — when price moves too fast and leaves gaps.
Price often retraces to "fill the gap" — a key entry point for ICT traders.
🥇 ICT for Gold & Forex in 2025
💰 Why It Works for XAUUSD & Majors:
Gold is a highly manipulated asset, perfect for ICT-style trading.
It responds beautifully to liquidity grabs, order blocks, and Asian–London–New York session transitions.
Forex majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.) are also ideal since they’re heavily influenced by institutional flow and news-driven liquidity hunts.
🕐 Timing Is Everything
Trade Killzones:
📍 London Killzone: 2AM–5AM EST
📍 New York Killzone: 7AM–10AM EST
These are high-volume sessions where institutions make their moves.
📈 Typical ICT Setup
▪️Spot liquidity zone above or below recent price
▪️Wait for liquidity sweep (stop hunt)
▪️Identify nearby order block or FVG
▪️Enter on a pullback into OB/FVG
▪️Set tight SL just past the recent swing
Target internal range, opposing OB, or next liquidity level
👨💻 Why FX/GOLD Traders Love ICT
✅ It’s clean, no indicators, and highly logical
✅ Great for part-time trading — 1 or 2 trades a day
✅ Feels like "leveling up" your understanding of the market
✅ Perfect for backtesting and journaling on platforms like TradingView or SmartCharts
✅ Easy to integrate into algo-based systems or EAs for semi-automation
If you’re tired of indicators and guessing, and want to trade like the institutions, ICT is a game changer. In 2025, more prop firms and traders are applying ICT concepts to dominate markets like gold, forex, and even crypto.
🧭 Master the method. Understand the logic. Ride with the smart money.
🔥 Welcome to the next level of trading.
Gold can continue moving up inside the upward channelHello traders, I want share with you my opinion about Gold. At the beginning of the chart, the price started to grow from the buyer zone between 2865–2880 points, entering the first upward channel, where it formed higher highs and higher lows. After multiple rejections from the resistance line, the price made a correction and exited the channel, but the overall bullish impulse remained intact. Following a brief consolidation in the support area between 3000–3015 points, GOLD launched another strong move upward, securing a position above the current support level at 3000. This zone has proven to be strong support and marked the beginning of a new upward channel. Currently, the price is trading confidently inside this second upward channel. After a minor correction to the midline, GOLD continued its upward trajectory. I expect a short-term pullback, but as long as the support holds, the bullish trend is likely to continue. My main scenario assumes that GOLD will stay within the channel and move toward TP1, which is set at 3135 points. Given the bullish structure, solid reaction from support, and clear upward momentum, I remain bullish and anticipate further growth. Please share this idea with your friends and click Boost 🚀
Summer is almost over for gold, winter is coming.To me it's a clear 5-way Elliot cycle.
And as I always say, trends usually target the Fibonacci range between 1.618 and 2.618.
I would never push for more, would be an unnecessary risk.

GOLD - Price can correct to support level and continue to growHi guys, this is my overview for BTCUSDT, feel free to check it and write your feedback in comments👊
Some time ago price started to grow inside a rising channel, where it reached the $2880 level and broke it.
Next price bounced from this level and some time rose in the channel, but then it made a correction, exiting from this channel.
After this, price turned around and continue to move up in another rising channel, where later it reached $3000 level.
Then Gold broke this level and made retest, after whcih it rose to resistance line of channel and then fell to support area.
Recently price started to decline, so, I think that Gold can decline to the support level and then bounce up to $3095

Golden Opportunities: Navigating the New Era of InvestmentFolks, we're witnessing something truly remarkable with XAUUSD. Gold's weekly uptrend is not just a blip on the radar; it's a beacon signaling a return to the fundamentals I've been harping on for ages. Recall my earlier insights? I pegged the long-term trend in Gold, and here we are, watching it soar. Trump's chatter about inflation and rates? It's like watching a chess game where each move by the Fed could be influenced by such rhetoric. The market, my friends, seems to be betting on this narrative, pricing in these potential shifts.
Now, let's not forget the basics. Historically, precious metals dance to the tune of real interest rates - those inflation-adjusted numbers. Sure, during times of market panic or geopolitical tension, Gold might get caught in the crossfire as either a collateral darling or a safe haven. But in these calmer waters, it's the real rates that dictate the dance. So, keep your eyes on the prize. Gold isn't just shining; it's setting the stage for what might be a golden era in investment. Watch, learn, and maybe, just maybe, enjoy the ride as we navigate these waters together. Stay vigilant, and may your investments be as golden as your opportunities.

XAU/USD: Bullish Momentum Holds with Breakout PotentialXAU/USD closed its third straight bullish week, with price testing Tuesday’s low before rebounding and closing near the 50% mark of the weekly range. Despite a brief dip, the candle closed above last week’s high, showing continued strength. A breakout above the 3,000 level raises the potential for further gains, especially if the market opens with a gap up.
On the daily timeframe, Friday's candle recovered after early weakness, resembling a previous pullback seen earlier this month. With a 1.90% retracement, the structure suggests possible upward continuation. The market is currently moving sideways within Friday’s range, hovering around the 3,030 key level.
While high-impact news could cause volatility, any pullback toward the 3,000 support zone—aligned with the trendline and previous week’s high—may offer buying opportunities. A breakout from the inside bar pattern forming on the daily chart could target the 3075 resistance zone
Bullish momentum to extend?The Gold (XAU/USD) has reacted off the pivot which acts as a pullback support and could rise to the 1st resistance which has been identified as a pullback resistance.
Pivot: 2,998.31
1st Support: 2,954.94
1st Resistance: 3,051.82

GOLD will have a long vacation from ascending - and opt for RED.GOLD, has been the most resilient and rosy asset for the entire 2024 till q1 of this year.
It keeps breaking ATH on a regular weekly basis like its nothing -- reaching a parabolic high of an impressive 3057.
Trend is currently shifting based on the current metrics which has started this friday, March 21, 2024.
A reversal to the downside is in order from this peak range. Targeting below 3k levels again.
It's doing a transition to new track pattern where it creates a healthy pull back to create another curve up trend for continuation to the upside. A 38.2 / 0.50 level of retracement.
Last time it did this pattern was on October 2024.
This transitional period is healthy for sustainable price growth.
This red days will linger for a bit till it gets lighter -- but we may see a trim down of thousands of pips before we get to the most attractive bargain levels.
For the mean time, shorts will have the best season for now.
As for bulls -- stay in cash until it shifts again -- but more waiting is needed.
Spotted at 3057.
Target below 3000.
Overextended target below 2900.
Again these are all guidance. Be guided.
It can be invalidated anytime.
Trade safely always. TAYOR.
Bullish continuation?The Gold (XAU/USD is falling towards the pivot and could bounce to the 1st resistance which has been identified as a pullback resistance.
