Identification of Order Bearish BlocksExplaning the Bearish Order Block
A bearish order block is a price area on a chart that indicates a potential sell opportunity because it suggests a shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish. It's essentially a zone where a large number of sell orders were placed, creating a temporary imbalance between supply and demand.
DXY Analysis - Monthly & Weekly Timeframe (ICT Concepts)Reacted BEARISH off of PREMIUM with hard displacement.
Now looking BEARISH at DISCOUNT zones.
3W candle closed below a Bisi 3W, but reacted off of lower Bisi 3W. Based on this timeframe, I want to see if price wants to move towards the higher disrespected Bisi 3W and then react bearish. That disrespected Bisi 3W is almost a 1M Bisi. It would make the most sense that if price were bearish is for it to come to a PREMIUM zone for that swing range into the Bisi 1M (BPR) before heading lower.
The bias is not concreate at the moment, so be wary of any change in narrative during high-impact news drivers and the general structure on lower timeframes.
Lower timeframe may present long opportunities to this shorting POI, but price may create a Sibi first.

DXY - Intraday Analysis (ICT)My DXY interest for today.
Assuming the last dump was to trap shorts, with the confluence of trading into a Monthly Bisi and Monthly Breaker (Body) and New Month Opening Gap. I am interested to see if this can now move higher.
It also traded off a Daily Bisi then broke higher, again playing around a 4h Sibi, and now seems to be moving lower. There is a 1h Balanced Price Range inside a Breaker on this timeframe at OTE of that range. I would like to see it react off of there, go higher, use the 4h gap as support, then move higher to target an actual liquidity void above.
AUDUSD - Daily Timeframe Analysis (ICT)I'm anticipating price to head towards the Internal Buyside Liquidity in the form of Equal Highs above as a first objective. This bias comes from External Liquidity being raided, with a manipulative move that took it out a second time. A large Daily Sibi was left in its wake, but what was interesting is that price came into, and closed within the Sibi on Thursday, and on Friday's NFP it shot down to take out the previous day's low before coming back into the Sibi with a bullish close. In my eyes this is indicative of price wanting to head towards Buyside Liquidity before a HTF continuation to the downside.
As for narrative, I would anticipate price breaking through the Sibi, finding resistance possibly somewhere within the long-tailed Daily Wick and Trendline Buyside Liquidity above. Consequently, returning back into the Daily Sibi and using it as support before moving higher to the objective.
This analysis is based on Smart Money accumulating more shorts at relevant zones of Buyside Liquidity and Inefficiencies. A POI for a reversal back to the downside will be based on how price moves at either one of the annotations above my first objective.
- R2F
AUDUSD - Short Trade Idea(Refer to my linked HTF analysis on AUDUSD)
I still have Interest in the Buyside Liquidity mentioned in my previous post on AUDUSD.
Price took out the annotated Sellside Liquidity, however, not by much. I'm expecting one more run lower with a proper Daily candle close before we move up towards the Buyside Liquidity.
I will be waiting for a convincing displacement that breaks structure to confirm this narrative. Before that, only scalps.
10.24.2023 NQ AM Session Looking ahead to the NY AM session, a bullish weekly profile so far. Monday's session established an Opening Range High for the week, a common occurrence for the first trading day. Anticipate a decisive move away from Monday's high, targeting opposing liquidity as a potential manipulation.
Pay close attention to the 10/23 9:30 LOD (Low of Day), a crucial reference point. Below this level lies a historically relevant 1D FVG (fair value gap), providing a strategic entry point. From there, anticipate an upward expansion into levels outlined in the weekly outlook.
It's worth noting that while these projections are made prior to the London session, market dynamics may evolve. Nevertheless, these are the developments I'll be monitoring closely. Happy trading!

10.27.2023 DXY OutlookDollar has been trending up lately as we are now in the 2-2.5 zone of a Daily (1D) timeframe "Breaker". An area that we can see a retracement (in this case). A think this weeks price action, can set up us for higher prices and not a complete correction.
Targets:
- 105.975
- 105.868
-105.772-105.732
10.27.2023 NQ OutlookIf the DXY (US Dollar Index) makes its descent lower, we observe a corresponding upward trend in indices. Presently, we find ourselves situated within a retracement and reversal zone marked by a bearish breaker on the Daily (1D) timeframe. Having successfully tapped into substantial sell-side liquidity over the past week, it is reasonable to anticipate an uptick in buying activity in the week ahead. This mirrors a similar notion I had regarding the DXY—it doesn't imply a complete correction, but rather lays the groundwork for lower prices in the weeks to come. This dynamic sets the stage for a potentially intriguing market scenario.

Scalping Gold using the intraday BIASScalping gold using intraday bias refers to a trading strategy where investors take advantage of short-term price movements in the gold market based on the prevailing intraday bias. Intraday bias refers to the direction in which the price of an asset, in this case, gold, is expected to move within a single trading day. Traders who employ this strategy typically open and close multiple positions throughout the day, aiming to profit from small price fluctuations.
Here's a step-by-step description of how this strategy might work:
### 1. **Understanding Intraday Bias:**
- **Technical Analysis:** Traders use technical analysis tools such as moving averages, support and resistance levels, and various chart patterns to identify short-term trends and potential entry/exit points.
- **Fundamental Analysis:** Consideration of economic indicators, geopolitical events, and market news that could influence gold prices within the day.
### 2. **Setting Up Indicators:**
- **Moving Averages:** Traders often use short-term moving averages (e.g., 5-period and 10-period) to identify quick changes in trend direction.
- **Relative Strength Index (RSI):** Helps identify overbought or oversold conditions, indicating potential reversal points.
### 3. **Identifying the Bias:**
- **Bullish Bias:** If the intraday analysis suggests a bullish bias (gold prices are expected to rise), traders look for buying opportunities.
- **Bearish Bias:** If the bias is bearish (gold prices are expected to fall), traders look for selling opportunities.
### 4. **Setting Entry and Exit Points:**
- **Entry Points:** Traders enter positions when they believe the bias is strong and the price is about to move significantly in the expected direction.
- **Exit Points:** Profit targets are set at small increments, and traders exit positions once these targets are met. Similarly, stop-loss orders are placed to limit potential losses in case the trade goes against the bias.
### 5. **Risk Management:**
- **Position Size:** Traders often risk a small percentage of their trading capital on each trade to manage potential losses.
- **Volatility Consideration:** Gold can be volatile; traders must adjust their position sizes and stop-loss levels accordingly.
### 6. **Continuous Monitoring:**
- **Real-Time Analysis:** Traders need to constantly monitor price movements, news, and any other factors that might affect the intraday bias.
- **Adaptability:** The strategy might need to be adjusted based on real-time market conditions.
### 7. **Closing Positions:**
- **End of the Day:** All positions are closed at the end of the trading day to avoid overnight risks associated with holding positions in a volatile market like gold.
### 8. **Constant Learning and Adaptation:**
- **Review and Analysis:** Traders review their trades, analyzing what worked and what didn’t. This analysis informs future trading decisions.
- **Adapt to Market Changes:** Market conditions can change rapidly. Successful scalpers adapt their strategies to evolving market trends and behaviors.
It's important to note that scalping can be highly demanding and requires a significant amount of time, attention, and discipline. Additionally, transaction costs (like spreads and commissions) can erode profits, making it crucial for traders to have a well-thought-out and tested strategy before engaging in scalping activities.
DXY - 4h Timeframe Analysis (ICT)My bias is still higher prices for the DXY. CPI on 12th Oct 2023 further confirmed this bias with large displacement to the upside.
I have 2 areas where I will be anticipating a bullish continuation to the upside for the DXY.
1. A 4-hour iFVG Sibi nested with a Breaker Block and a large Liquidity Void. This is my first choice and is where I believe we will not see a 4-hour candle body close below.
2. A lower 4-hour Bisi nested with a Breaker Block wick and a large Liquidity Void. If price gets here, I expect a sharp rejection at a key time such as 3am-4am or 7am-8am and/or during a high impact news driver.
Price MAY just leave the station from the 1-hour Sibi iFVG before breaking new highs first. I will be monitoring the day of week and time of day on the lower timeframes to come to further conclusions.

US30 - Daily Timeframe Analysis (ICT)(Refer to my Weekly analysis for US30 and DXY)
On lower timeframes I have 3 areas I want to anticipate a long to go to the short POI. Ideally, we don't see a daily close out of that thin yellow box (Daily Bisi).
There are 3 lines of defense for price to reach to and find support.
1st line of defense is a Breaker with CE of a wick and a gap, which looks very nice. This is my first choice.
2nd line of defense is the 4h bisi (dark blue is a bottom prediction if it gets there)
3rd and last line of defense is the 4h Orderblock MT.
The more price declines, I believe the faster the move up would be back above the yellow zone.
Relative equal highs reside above, so that gives me some confidence that we are likely moving higher.
The short POI is a 4h Sibi inside the weekly Sibi has my eye. A high RR trade could be possible.
DXY - Weekly Timeframe Analysis (ICT)The Dollar Index has hastily reached my objective on the Weekly/Monthly timeframe. The question now is will we still move higher. I think we will. Of course, we can make predictions and assumptions, but we wait for price action to tip its hand to us.
I have 3 levels where I am looking for a continuation to the upside next week onwards.
1. There is a New Month Opening Gap coupled with the support of the previous week's high and an old swing high. I am most keen to see how price reacts within this area.
2. Below, there is a Weekly Bisi, albeit a narrow gap. If price gets there, it may be a quick rejection.
3. Even lower, there is the Weekly Wick CE of a previous month. This would be the last area I would look for a long that would break the previous high.
AUDUSD - Long Trade Idea (ICT)My macro bias is still bullish for DXY, therefore bearish for AUDUSD and other XXXUSD pairs. However, I am anticipating further retracement to the upside on the sub-daily timeframe.
Preferably I would like to see the Buyside Liquidity just above the current price to stay untouched or pierced slightly, then to retrace back into the Bisi 2h, 4h (R2F) zone, ideally this move starts to happen after 1am. Then my target would be above the current Buyside Liquidity and into the Sibi 4h above. Confirmation of my trade will be a shift in market structure via a displacement on a lower timeframe and at the specific timing I mentioned.
GBPUSD - Long/Short Trade IdeaMy bias is still lower prices for now (refer to my higher-timeframe ideas). However, am interested to see if these trade ideas play out, at least one of them. What is important to me is the day of week, and the time of day, engineered liquidity, along with any scheduled economic news drivers.
GU - Weekly Timeframe Analysis (ICT)Considering my bullish bias on the DXY, and the currently bearish price action on GBPUSD, I am anticipating price continuing lower with a short-term objective of a Weekly Wick's Consequent Encroachment.
Price bottomed off a Weekly Bisi to the tee, and closed above a NWOG at big figure 1.2200, leaving a Weekly Sibi in it's wake.
There are 2 areas I am currently looking at for a retracement for a potential continuation to the downside. With price being at an opposing HTF PD Array, I am keen to see how much time it spends consolidating, if at all.
1. The closest Weekly Sibi nested with a Wick of Monthly Bearish Breaker Block (Wick).
2. A Weekly Sibi further up nested with the body of a Monthly Bullish Breaker Block.
- R2F
DXY Analysis - Weekly Timeframe (ICT)How convenient it was to stop right at the descending trendline for the week. In my eyes, this is giving time for traders to formulate their "predictions" on where DXY is going to go. I expect some funny business to happen to shake out any support & resistance, as well as breakout traders, culminating with an explosive movement to the upside.
I really like the Weekly Bearish Breaker Block residing above as a point of interest for trades, which may take a while to get there. I will also be observing how price moves towards that area, if it even does.
Next week, keep your guard up. Don't take the bait. Wait for the sheep to get slaughtered, and once you see that already come to past on the charts, that is the time to strike.
GU - Weekly Timeframe Analysis (ICT)Based on my DXY analysis, I will be expecting lower prices on GBPUSD.
I see a potential short opportunity presenting itself when/if prices retraces back into the 2-Week iFVG/Bisi, using the Monthly Reclaimed Orderblock and Breaker Block as resistance. Only thing I will be wary of is price tapping above the previous week's high before displacing lower, targeting the 2-Week Bisi and NWOG below. With the high-impact news drivers this week, it is my assumption that it will happen with speed.
DXY - Weekly Timeframe Analysis (ICT)Past couple of weeks we've the DXY continually rebalancing immediately and pushing higher.
Last week's high stopped right in its tracks at the Mean Threshold of a NMOG. Random, right?
Other than that, nothing of too much in interest in terms of a swing trade POI. However, I will still be expecting price to push higher.
(See previous analysis on the DXY).
