GBPJPY ChoCh + Order Block = Bearish Liquidity Hunt Setup 🧠 Smart Money Breakdown: GBPJPY | 30-Min Chart
This is one of those A+ textbook SMC setups where Smart Money is likely loading shorts before the next liquidity raid.
Let’s break it down:
🔄 1. Change of Character (ChoCh)
Market flipped structure cleanly, printing a ChoCh below a key internal low. That’s our signal that Smart Money is likely done accumulating and prepping for a distribution move.
🟪 2. Order Block + Premium Price Zone
Price is retracing into a well-defined bearish Order Block right inside a premium zone. This OB sits just below a Strong High at 195.855 — a clear inducement level. Retail traders will chase that high... and get wrecked.
You’ll notice that OB is marked around 195.341–195.600 — right where liquidity pools stack.
🧲 3. Target: Weak Low at 193.640
Smart Money doesn’t care about patterns. It wants liquidity — and there’s a juicy Weak Low sitting at 193.640 waiting to be swept.
📐 4. Trade Setup Idea (R:R Approx. 4:1)
🔼 Entry Zone: 195.300–195.500
❌ Stop Loss: Just above Strong High: 195.880
✅ Target: 193.640 (liquidity sweep)
This setup gives you a tight stop and a wide target — just how SMC likes it.
🎯 Execution Tip:
Wait for:
Rejection wick inside OB
Bearish engulfing confirmation
BOS on lower timeframe before entering
Partial TP at mid-FVG or 194.200. Let the rest run.
📎 Confluences:
✅ ChoCh
✅ Bearish OB
✅ Rejection from premium pricing
✅ Clear inducement above Strong High
✅ Weak low as draw-on-liquidity
⚠️ Risk Reminder:
Don’t front-run the OB. Let price come to you. Watch how Smart Money manipulates before you execute. Confirmation > prediction.
🔚 Summary:
GBPJPY is set for a bearish redistribution move. The structure shift, clean OB, and weak low target all scream “trap above, raid below.”
You’re either trading with Smart Money… or you’re the liquidity.
💬 Drop “🎯” if you’re targeting the same liquidity level.

Trend Changing Pattern (TCP) in Action: Live ExampleHey traders,
Following up on yesterday’s lesson about the Trend Changing Pattern (TCP), I wanted to share a real-time example using the CADJPY pair in an intraday downtrend.
Today, we spotted a TCP setup where price action gave us a classic reversal signal:
The market manipulated the low of the TCP zone with a single break.
This was followed by a W pattern and a second attempt that failed to make a lower low.
That failure to create a new low acted as our entry confirmation for a long position.
🔹 Entry: 103.71 (Long)
🔹 Stop Loss: 103.28 (Just below the break low for protection)
This trade setup perfectly illustrates how price structure and momentum shifts can help you catch early entries during trend reversals.
Stay sharp, manage your risk — and have a blessed trading day!
