EUR/USD| - Bullish BiasHTF Context: Noted a clear break of structure to the upside, signaling strong bullish intent. Originally expected a deeper liquidity grab, but price shifted before reaching lower zones. MTF Refinement: Dropped down to the 30M for better alignment — spotted a liquidity sweep confirming smart money interest. LTF Execution Plan: Now watching for mitigation of the 30M OB. Once tapped, I’ll look for internal structure shift (1M/5M BOS or CHoCH) to confirm continuation. Mindset: Staying patient — if price wants higher, it should respect this OB and show its hand first. Bless Trading!

EUR/USD Bullish Continuation SetupMarket Structure Overview: The market remains in a clear higher timeframe bullish trend, consistently forming higher highs and higher lows. Recently, price has entered a descending channel, resembling a bull flag formation — a classic continuation pattern that typically precedes a strong bullish breakout. Key Observations: ✅ Descending Channel (Bull Flag): Price is respecting a downward-sloping channel while remaining above key demand zones. 💧 Liquidity Pools: Multiple liquidity highs have been left untouched above — suggesting fuel for a potential impulsive move upward. 🧹 Liquidity Sweep: On both H4 and H1, we see a clear sweep of previous equal lows, tapping into a significant demand zone. 📈 Reaction from Demand: Strong reaction from the demand zone suggests institutional buying interest. 🔵 Projection: A bullish breakout from the flag could target the liquidity above 1.1800, with immediate resistance near 1.1740–1.1760. Bias: 🔼 Bullish — as long as price holds above the most recent demand zone (~1.1649), the bias remains bullish with expectations of a breakout and continuation toward previous highs. Note: We must see how the market opens on Sunday night going into Monday. Based on the initial price action, we can determine the best trading opportunities and direction for the upcoming week.

GBPUSD - Also continued downside continuationLooking at GU. This is a little bit ahead of its time in comparison to EU. And what i mean by that is EU is a lot further away from its 4H demand zone compared to GBP so it will be super interesting to see how we react at the level we are fast approaching on GU. I am in a short position as of Friday. I will be posting a video tomorrow showing exactly how and why i got short on GU so stay tuned for that one. As always if there is anything else i can be of assistance with give me a message and i will be happy to answer any questions you may have

DXY Targeting Liquidity Zones & Gap Fill Before Potential ReversThe U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is showing a strong bullish push, climbing steadily along an ascending trendline. Price appears to be heading toward key liquidity levels and a visible Fair Value Gap (FVG) near the previous New York high. The chart also highlights an unfilled gap above, which aligns with a potential liquidity sweep scenario. Once these upper zones are tapped — including the liquidity and imbalance areas — a significant rejection could follow, especially considering ongoing strength in the Euro (EUR). This setup suggests a high-probability reversal opportunity after the liquidity grab

EUR/USD Price Action – Liquidity Grab & Demand Zones This 1-hour EUR/USD chart highlights key intraday price levels and potential trading zones. The chart identifies the Previous Day High (PDH), New York Session High (NY HIGH), and Previous Day Low (PDL). A notable Trap/Demand Zone just below the Asia High suggests a potential liquidity grab before a reversal or continuation move. Price is currently reacting within this zone, and traders may watch for confirmations of either a bullish continuation toward the PDH or a bearish rejection back to the PDL. The marked zones serve as potential trade entry/exit reference points for intraday strategies.

Bitcoin - Power of 3 in play!The chart illustrates a classic application of the ICT concept known as the "Power of 3," a theory that outlines a common market behavior pattern consisting of three phases: consolidation, manipulation, and distribution. This model is often used by smart money traders to identify points where institutional players may be accumulating or offloading positions, typically by targeting retail liquidity. Consolidation In this scenario, Bitcoin has exhibited a prolonged period of consolidation, where price fluctuated within a defined range throughout most of June and into early July. This range-bound movement, highlighted in blue, represents the market gathering orders from both buyers and sellers, creating a liquidity pool on either side of the range. During this phase, market participants become uncertain about the next direction, while smart money positions itself for the next move. Manipulation/sweeping liquidity Recently, Bitcoin has broken out of this consolidation range in an upward move, which is now being interpreted as the manipulation phase. This move served to sweep the liquidity resting just above the established highs of the range. These highs were prime areas for stop-losses of short sellers and breakout entries of longs, making them attractive targets for institutional manipulation. The price push above this level, marked in green, appears to be a false breakout designed to trap breakout traders and trigger stops before a likely reversal. Possible distribution phase Following this manipulation phase, the chart suggests we are entering or have just begun the distribution phase, marked in red. Distribution in the context of the Power of 3 refers to the process where smart money offloads their positions onto unsuspecting buyers who entered during the manipulation. The anticipated outcome is a sustained move to the downside, aligning with the forecasted bearish structure shown on the right side of the chart. Conclusion In conclusion, the chart reflects a textbook ICT Power of 3 pattern in play on Bitcoin. After a lengthy period of sideways consolidation that built liquidity on both sides, Bitcoin executed an upward manipulation to capture liquidity above the range. Now, with the highs swept and buy-side liquidity taken, the market looks poised for distribution, signaling a probable downward move in the near term. Traders familiar with smart money concepts would view this as a high-probability reversal zone.

POSSIBLE BEARISH MOVE SCENERIO Currently we're monitoring 30M time frame chart. I’m expecting a sell move from the P.O.I zone marked on the chart. Since today is the first day of the week, the market volume is a bit low. Now let's see when the price reaches our P.O.I zone, and once it does, how the price behaves. We'll be watching for any bearish signs or confirmations. We’ll only enter the trade after getting a proper bearish confirmation. We'll also wait for the NY session to open before making any decisions. Let's see how this trade setup plays out. Let's delve deeper into these levels and potential outcomes. Always use stoploss for your trade. Always use proper money management and proper risk to reward ratio. #GOLD 30M Technical Analysis Expected Move.

Bitcoin - Liquidity grab at $111.000?This 4-hour BTCUSD chart illustrates a potential short-term bullish continuation scenario followed by a deeper retracement, highlighting key liquidity levels and an important Fair Value Gap (FVG) support zone. Liquidity sweep At the top of the current price action, just above the $110,612.16 level, there is a clear area of resting liquidity. This zone has likely accumulated a significant number of stop-loss orders from traders who are shorting the market or who went long earlier and are protecting profits below previous highs. The market tends to seek liquidity to fill institutional orders, making this zone a high-probability target for a sweep. As a result, price is likely to take out these resting stop orders in a quick upward move, often referred to as a "liquidity grab" or "stop hunt", before potentially reversing or consolidating. Bullish 4H FVG Following this liquidity sweep, the chart suggests a retracement into a bullish 4-hour Fair Value Gap (FVG) located around the $106,600 to $107,400 region. This imbalance zone was formed during an impulsive move up, leaving behind a gap between the wicks of consecutive candles. Such gaps represent areas where demand previously overwhelmed supply, and they often act as strong support on a retest. If price revisits this zone, it is expected to offer support and could serve as a base for another upward push, assuming bullish momentum remains intact. Downside risk However, if the bullish FVG fails to hold as support and price breaks down through this imbalance zone, it would signal a weakening of bullish structure. In that case, the breakdown would likely lead to a deeper correction or even a trend reversal, with price seeking lower levels of support further down the chart. This would invalidate the short-term bullish scenario and suggest that sellers are gaining control, possibly triggering further liquidations and more aggressive selling pressure. Conclusion Overall, the chart is currently leaning bullish, anticipating a liquidity sweep to the upside followed by a potential pullback into the FVG. The reaction at the FVG will be critical in determining whether the market can continue higher or if it shifts into a deeper bearish correction.

XAUUSD NY SESSION FLOW – JULY 8→ 9 , 2025"Structure doesn’t lie. Price answered exactly where we expected it to." Hey traders 👋 Let’s set the record straight after today’s precision bounce. We saw textbook price action across all sessions — Asia triggered the short from our 3344–3351 HTF supply, and both London and New York followed through with no hesitation, driving price down to 3287. But here’s the key point: 🧨 3287 was just 10 pips above our clean 3286–3280 buy zone. No mitigation. Just a front-run. That’s what real liquidity does — grabs what it needs before the crowd gets in. Our zone is still valid… just untouched. 🔍 HTF BIAS & STRUCTURE UPDATE 📆 Daily Bias: Structure is still bearish — lower highs, CHoCH, and soft RSI. EMAs 5/21 are flat. No power for bulls unless 3351 breaks. ⏰ H4 Bias: New lower high confirmed after rejection from our 3344–3351 zone. Trend is still bearish unless we reclaim 3330+ with conviction. Liquidity is driving movement, not news. 🕐 H1 Flow: Bounce from 3287 = engineered reaction before real demand Price now hovering above 3306, forming mid-structure No trade in the middle. Let’s work the edges. 🎯 TODAY’S SNIPER ZONES 🔻 SELL ZONES 1. 3325–3330 Nearest short trap. OB + inefficiency + H1 rejection base. If price returns, watch M15/M30 for CHoCH or BOS → entry. 2. 3344–3351 Our major HTF supply. Asia already reacted from top half. If revisited, this zone remains the high-probability rejection zone. 3. 3380–3394 Premium OB + imbalance pocket. Untouched zone far above — if tapped late in the week, watch for liquidity sweep → clean reversal potential. 🟢 BUY ZONES 1. 3297–3300 NY session bounce zone. Price tapped 3297 → pushed to 3306. Still live for intraday reentry if price retests and confirms with BOS. 2. 3286–3280 Our true demand base. Price front-ran it by 10 pips — didn’t mitigate. Still valid, still reactive. Don’t delete this zone. 3. 3263–3255 Last line of support. Deep zone — only comes into play if 3280 fails with conviction. ✅ EXECUTION REMINDERS Price is hovering mid-range → don’t force entries Only act if structure reacts at the edges (3325 or 3286) 3380–3394 may be a late-week trap if bulls get overconfident 📌 If this breakdown helped, hit 🚀 and drop a comment: 👉 Are you stalking 3325… or waiting for 3286 to finally wake up? Let structure talk. You just execute. GoldFxMinds 💭🔥 📢 Disclosure: This analysis is based on the Trade Nation TradingView feed.

GBPUSD - 2 potential selling opportunitiesLooking at GBPUSD We have 2 potential selling POI's. The first one being a point in which we will need to sit on our hands for a little bit to see what price does at there is no inducement in the push down in the impulse leg. With that being the case we will need to see some sort of inducement built before we enter that POI IF we clear the first POI I think I will take a more aggressive entry on the secondary POI that sits a little bit higher. This is due to us having already put in some sort of liquidity in and around that POI before pushing lower. Will wait and see what happens. Tomorrow could be a very good trading day

CADJPY: Is the Trap Set?Price swept the liquidity below the previous day’s low and then broke structure to the upside. That’s often a strong sign that smart money just stepped in. I’m now watching for price to pull back and fill the imbalance it left after the break. If it respects that zone, there’s a good chance we’ll see it push higher toward the previous day’s high where more liquidity is waiting. I’ve also added the 50 EMA on this chart as an extra layer of confluence. It helps me stay aligned with the overall market direction and avoid taking trades that fight the current trend. It’s easy to get impatient here and jump in too soon, but discipline means waiting for the story to fully unfold. Trust your levels, trust the process, and remember that protecting your mental capital is just as important as protecting your trading account.

How to Trade Smart Money Concepts (SMC)\ How to Trade Smart Money Concepts (SMC)\ \ This article explores the foundation, key tools, and practical insights of Smart Money Concepts — and why it’s worth your attention.\ In today's fast-changing financial landscape, Smart Money Concepts (SMC) has become a popular strategy among modern traders. But what is SMC exactly, and how can it improve your trading decisions? This article breaks it down in a simple, professional way for traders at all levels. --- \ What Are Smart Money Concepts?\ SMC is a trading approach based on the belief that large institutions ("smart money") like banks and hedge funds control most of the market's movements. These institutions often move the market in ways that confuse or trap retail traders. The goal of SMC is to understand and follow the footsteps of these big players. Instead of relying on simple patterns or indicators, SMC focuses on: \ - Market structure\ \ - Supply and demand zones\ \ - Liquidity pools\ By aligning your trades with the behavior of smart money, you can position yourself more strategically in the market. --- \ Key SMC Concepts Explained\ \ Order Blocks\ Order blocks are zones on the chart where large institutions have placed significant buy or sell orders. These zones often lead to strong price reactions and act as hidden support or resistance levels. Order blocks are considered more precise than traditional supply and demand areas. Example: () \ Fair Value Gap (FVG)\ A Fair Value Gap occurs when price moves sharply in one direction, leaving a gap or imbalance in the price action. These areas often get filled later and can act as magnets for price. In a bearish move, the FVG is the gap between the low of the previous candle and the high of the next one. In a bullish move, it's the reverse. Example: () \ Timeframe Consideration\ If you can’t monitor charts during the day, avoid relying on 5–30 minute setups. Consider 4H or daily timeframes for clearer signals and more manageable trading decisions. \ Liquidity\ Liquidity refers to price zones where lots of pending orders exist. These are usually at obvious highs, lows, or trendlines. Smart money often targets these areas to trigger stop-losses and generate movement. One common tool to identify liquidity is a "pivot point," which is a candle with a lower low or higher high than its neighbors. Example: () \ Break of Structure (BOS)\ BOS occurs when price breaks above or below a previous high or low, signaling a possible trend continuation. Example: () \ Change of Character (ChoCH)\ ChoCH happens when the market changes direction. For example, if price breaks a higher low in an uptrend, it may signal a reversal. Example: () Combined with BOS: () --- \ How SMC Compares to Wyckoff\ The idea of "smart money" isn't new. Richard D. Wyckoff, a pioneer in technical analysis, laid the foundation for understanding market cycles driven by institutions. His price cycle theory includes four phases: \ 1. Accumulation\ Smart money buys while the public is unaware. \ 2. Markup\ Price rises as smart money pushes the market. \ 3. Distribution\ Smart money sells into public buying. \ 4. Markdown\ Price falls as the cycle completes. SMC borrows from this logic but focuses more on structure and liquidity zones. Still, the core idea is the same: understand what big players are doing, and follow them. \ For deeper insights into Wyckoff, explore additional resources focused on accumulation/distribution cycles.\ --- \ Summary\ Smart Money Concepts give traders a deeper look into market mechanics. By focusing on order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity, and structure breaks, SMC helps identify high-probability trade setups based on institutional behavior. It may seem complex at first, but once you understand the basics, SMC can become a powerful tool in your trading strategy. Whether you’re new or experienced, aligning with smart money can improve your edge in the market.

EURUSD - Where next?Looking at EURUSD I still feel like we are due some sort of deeper retracement to the downside considering how bullish the 4H and Daily time frame have been in recent times. Although the market does not care how I feel in all honesty haha. I will play the short term short until the 15min orderflow switches bullish once again. The expansion that is currently happing right now is very interesting and makes a good watch to see what we will do come market open as we are engineering liquidity for both a buy and sell with both POI's looking primed for entries. Will be keeping a close and keen eye on EURUSD when the market opens Any questions feel free to give me a message
