Liquidity

Learn to identify liquidity levels. Before we begin, we need to understand what liquidity is. A market with high liquidity is one where there is a large number of buyers and sellers willing to trade in that particular asset. This means that there is a high availability of buy and sell orders, allowing transactions to be executed quickly and with minimal impact on prices. Where are the most liquid points located on a chart? These points are found at the highs and lows. This is because at these points, many people are waiting for the zone to act as support or resistance, or for the price to break the zone (breakout) to continue its direction. I always use daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes to identify these zones. Why the liquid points are importante on a chart? Liquidity is extremely important because it is the direction in which the price moves. The price will always move towards these points to attract liquidity to the market. Without liquidity, financial markets cannot function. Which indicator can you use to identify liquidity levels? Previous Days Week Highs & Lows by sbtnc Certainly, this indicator will facilitate the process of identifying these points, but it will not identify all of them. -----Remember, like everything in trading, this needs to be combined with other confluences. It won't work by itself.----- Explanation of the example presented in the chart. I had some strong confluences indicating that the price was likely to have a bullish move. As seen in the COT report, there was aggressive selling of JPY. One of the things that helped me take this trade with confidence is that, as you can see in the circle, there was a weekly and monthly high together without being cleared. This created a double top pattern. Since this was such a liquid point, it gave me the confidence that the price would move towards this point before changing direction. And it did exactly that after consolidating for several days. These liquidity points can be used as confluence in our analysis, as well as a potential take profit level.

Potential GBPUSD Long PositionI have marked liquidity points on the chart (2 Imbalances and an unmitigated Asian High) and located two order blocks which I would mark my entry off of just below where the Break of Structure would confirm my analysis and the last of the downside liquidity would be taken. If my first order block is mitigated and stop loss is hit then my second trade would be entered. This is will be placed on a 100k demo account using a Risk percentage of 0.5% per trade.

Back to Charting Again!* NQ1! Chart for 6/12 S/D LevelsTargeting R1 as a push through this resistance supply 4hr zone. I skipped the NY opening bell, and when I hopped on later in the morning, we were making bull strides to move up. VWAP and EMAs continued up by following PA so it didn't seem to waiver that we would fail dramatically to the downside. However, looking back for possible demand zones for later this week as we have FOMC and CPI/PPI being released. Looking for small points between 5-20 pt moves to avoid being chopped to much and using range/liquidity areas for targeting. I recommend using bookmap for your further conviction in seeing the order flow. Throughout this week looking for BEAR targets at S1 14625 or lower to fill the gap we created to 14520. BULL target throughout the week is 15100 or 15231 *nearing* the double top resistance of Jan/March 2022. Link for chart: www.tradingview.com

S&P500 to Sellside Liquidity S&P500 DAILY TIMEFRAME / ("ESM2023" Futures Contract) ____________________________________________________ ORDERFLOW & TARGETING: The Orderflow in S&P is Bearish. Every Bearish Orderblock and Fair Value Gap have been holding price lower. I'm looking for this Orderflow to continue being Bearish until the Sellside Liquidity gets mitigated... S&P500 has now engineered Sellside Liquidity below current price, inducing Retail traders to Buy at this price point. Therefore, many orders are resting below these equal lows, so the market should seek this Liquidity. TREASURY BONDS: The Bond-Market is looking Bullish, which would indicate Lower prices in the S&P - due to their Inverse Correlation against each other. The Bonds are aiming for their Equal Highs Buyside Liquidity: POTENTIAL INVALIDATION OF THE IDEA: - Although I'm Bearish... From where price is at right now - I NEED to see the current Bullish Orderblock's Equilibrium 50% traded THROUGH to the Downside with a Daily Candle closure. (The Bullish Orderblock is that Bearish candle I marked up that price is currently testing) . So right now, price is above the 50% price point, and therefore Orderflow is still Bullish short-term. Only when the first Daily Candle CLOSES Below the 50% of the orderblock is when I will be looking to Sell down into Sellside Liquidity. (The 50% of the Orderblock is at 3940. I need to see price Close Below that) . - Market Structure is currently Bearish. However, if the Protected High (the High that caused the Lower Low - Annotated "PH" on the chart) gets traded Above (at 4057) , that would become a Bullish Market Stucture Break, and I would no longer be Bearish, but I would rather aim for Buyside Liquidity at 4245 (annotated "SMS" in the chart) . But as long as we Remain Below the Protected High, I still hold my Bearish Bias down into the Sellside Liquidity. So in Summary of the Invalidations...: I need to see the Bullish orderblock's 50% get traded Down through, and only then I will start looking for selling into Sellside Liquidity. As long as price remains below the Protected High - I'm Bearish. #TechnicalScience ;)

ES - Weekly AnalysisWeekly Analysis June 5 - June 9, 2023 In the current market, we find ourselves inside the Daily Liquidity Area. 50% of this area aligns with the end of the Daily Volume Imbalance at 4314. For this week, I anticipate a test of the Consequent Encroachment of Liquidity Area and a potential fill of the Daily Volume Imbalance. I believe that 4317.75 could act as a significant barrier preventing further upward movement in price. Therefore, my key level to watch is 4317.75, as I am likely to consider closing my long positions at this point. A break above 4317.75 will attract more bulls into the market, and I can expect a bounce towards the 4339 level, which would fill the Daily Breakaway Gap. However, if the market fails to hold the Daily Liquidity Area and breaks below 4380, it would present a short trade opportunity with a target of 4266-4264. I am particularly interested in observing a test of the 5-minute Order Block, as it has shown strong support thus far. In order to see further bearish momentum, it would be necessary for another Liquidity Area in the range of 4254-4247 to be breached. In such a scenario, I would initiate a short scalp trade with a quick target at the 4240.50 level, which represents the Consequent Encroachment of the 5-minute wick. Looking ahead, my next key level to monitor is 4223.75. However, I will provide more details about this level during the week, as currently, there don't appear to be sufficient reasons to anticipate a move towards this level due to multiple barriers situated above it.
