Imbalance

XAUUSD SHORTPrice broke the previous uptrend without retesting aiming the previous support liquidity area, leaving an imbalance at 1906-1895. After a period of consolidation price created a downtrend formed a new trend liquidity which then were swept by a single instututional candle before creating the recover of the previous break. Now price is going to the imbalance area meanwhile retesting the break. I would not enter below 1970 for a sell as soon as the price arrives there, but would wait for everyone to enter on a sell and expect price to do the contrary, creating a stophunt. So basically i would enter only after this scenario.

Liquidity, Footprints, Level ll which is all considered within the framework of 'smart money concepts' December is traditionally known for the lack of liquidity and reduced volume in turn which causes increased volatility.

Possible Election Rally “if _______ wins?”Price has retested the average price of the bullish orderblock on the daily timeframe. Higher Low’s being formed on the 4Hr timeframe along with a liquidity tag show signs of bears loosing control. Which is starting to create an imbalance favoring the bulls. 🎯: Untested bearish orderblock off the daily. ::: Election ::: We could see a crazy rally and a major sell-off tomorrow/Wednesday. It all depends on rather Dems or Reps win on the overall outcome. Though with the Election Day we could see whipsaws in price due to the ballot intake this year.
