Best Liquidity Grab / Sweep Strategy For Trading Forex & Gold
Learn how to trade liquidity grab / sweep with multiple time frame analysis.
Discover how to combine top-down analysis and smart money concept SMC for trading forex and gold.
You will get a complete step by step trading strategy with entry, stop loss and target.
1. In order to trade liquidity grab / sweep properly, you need to find liquidity zones first.
For this trading strategy, the best liquidity zones will be on a daily time frame.
Check these 2 significant liquidity zones on EURAUD forex pair on a daily.
The zone where the selling activity concentrate will be called a supply zone. While the zone with a strong concentration of a buying activity will be a demand zone.
2. After that, you should look for a liquidity grab / sweep.
For a valid liquidity grab / sweep the daily candle should violate the liquidity zone only with the tail / wick of the candle , while the body should stay within the zone.
Above is the example of a liquidity grab of a demand zone.
While the daily candle closed within the underlined area, the wick went beyond that.
3. After you identified a liquidity grab/sweep, start analyzing lower time frames . For this strategy, the best time frames are 4H and 1H.
On these time frames, you should look for a consolidation and a formation of a horizontal range.
Here is such a range on EURAUD on a 4H.
These ranges will be used for confirmation .
Your bullish signal will be a breakout of the resistance of the range ,
it will confirm a strong buying interest after a liquidity grab.
That is the example of such a confirmation.
4. After that, set a buy limit order on a retest of a broken resistance of the range. Take profit will be the closest strong resistance, stop loss will be below the support of the range.
That is how we trade a liquidity grab/sweep of a demand zone.
With the supply zone liquidity grab trading strategy, you should wait for a bullish liquidity sweep followed by a bearish breakout of a range on a 4H / 1H time frames.
I always say to my students that a single time frame analysis is not sufficient for profitable trading SMC.
A proper combination of multiple time frames is the key to consistent profits.
Following this strategy, you should achieve up to 80% winning rate trading liquidity grabs / sweeps.

NZDCAD Discretionary Analysis: Bounce at 0.83Hello traders and happy Easter Monday!
I'm expecting a bounce on NZDCAD. I'm interested in this 0.83 zone. It might turn into a strong bounce point. If the signs are there, I'm jumping in with a short.
Discretionary Trading: Where Experience Becomes the Edge
Discretionary trading is all about making decisions based on what you see, what you feel, and what you've learned through experience. Unlike systematic strategies that rely on fixed rules or algorithms, discretionary traders use their judgment to read the market in real time. It's a skill that can't be rushed, because it's built on screen time, pattern recognition, and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
There's no shortcut here. You need to see enough market conditions, wins, and losses to build that intuition—the kind that tells you when to pull the trigger or sit on your hands. Charts might look the same, but context changes everything, and that's something only experience can teach you.
At the end of the day, discretionary trading is an art, refined over time, sharpened through mistakes, and driven by instinct. It's not for everyone, but for those who've put in the work, it can be a powerful way to trade.
XAUUSD 4H Timeframe – Technical & Fundamental Analysis XAUUSD 4H Timeframe – Technical & Fundamental Analysis
Gold continues to shine during times of uncertainty. Whether it’s global conflict, inflation fears, recession talks, or market turbulence, investors tend to turn to gold as a hedge against risk.
However, there is still room for short-term exhaustion. On the 4-hour chart, we observed a sharp decline from $3,500 to $3,330, primarily driven by recent political developments in the United States. President Donald Trump retracted his threat to remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and expressed optimism regarding a potential trade agreement with China. These actions eased market fears and reduced gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset, causing a temporary dip in demand and price.
📉 Technical Outlook:
On the 4H chart, gold hit an all-time high of $3,500 yesterday.
We’ve identified a Three Black Crows candlestick pattern, a strong signal of a potential reversal from a bullish to a bearish trend—suggesting that downward momentum may follow.
A minor key support level is seen at $3,340. A breakout below this level could:
Trigger pending sell orders
Initiate the accumulation phase in the liquidity zone
If the price breaks $3,290, it may confirm a Change of Character (CHOCH)—a strong sign of a bearish shift.
🧠 Trade Plan: After accumulation and liquidity grab, we wait for a clean breakout to confirm our setup.
📌 Sell Stop Entry: $3,317.20
📌 Stop Loss: $3,386.20
📌 Take Profit: $3,167.80
📌 Disclaimer:
This is not financial advice. As always, wait for proper confirmation before executing trades. Manage your risk wisely and trade what you see, not what you feel.

Notes/Thoughts: Typically I would wait until the Weekly Close for my buys as it’s only Tuesday but I like the market pump currently & perceived momentum plus price is still held in a Weekly Demand area without collapse.
XAUUSD:The latest trading strategyToday, the gold price plummeted like a waterfall, reaching a low of 3,310.86. (👉signal👉)
This sharp decline was mainly due to the fact that most people were worried that the chaotic economic policies of the United States would lead to more serious consequences, which disrupted the risk aversion sentiment. As a result, some funds were withdrawn from the gold market, causing the gold price to drop rapidly. However, based on factors such as central bank gold purchases, geopolitical risks, and the trend of de-dollarization, the long-term and medium-term bullish logic remains unchanged. Continue to pay attention to the support level of $3,300 below. If this level is not broken, one can look for opportunities to go long on gold.

USOIL:Continue to look for opportunities to go longCurrently, in the daily chart trend, crude oil continues to maintain a somewhat stronger oscillating trend at a low level. (👉signals👉)
The technical pattern is gradually adjusting, and the K-lines are slowly rising above the short-term moving averages, indicating that there may still be room for a continued rebound in the daily chart trend. In the 4-hour chart, the trading range is currently relatively narrow. The short-term trend is slightly weaker, but the adjustment space is likely to be limited. In terms of trading operations, consider the opportunity to open long positions near the range of 62 to 62.5.

DXY:It will still be under pressure.Daily trading strategy.Today, the U.S. Dollar Index has shown some signs of recovery. (👉signals👉)
However, given the strong bearish sentiment towards the U.S. dollar in the current market, U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has triggered concerns about the political and economic stability of the United States. This has led to the selling off of U.S. dollar assets, putting pressure on the U.S. dollar. Technically, the U.S. Dollar Index is in a downward trend. Before effectively breaking through the key resistance level of 100, one can still consider going short on rallies.

Still bullish on the downward trend, the latest trading strategyToday, the DXY has recovered somewhat, leading to an increase in the USD/JPY exchange rate.
However, the overall trend is still downward. The continuous criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell by U.S. President Trump has dampened market confidence in the U.S. dollar. Due to the strong bearish sentiment towards the U.S. dollar in the current market and the fact that the USD/JPY is technically in a downward trend, before effectively breaking through the upper resistance level, one can consider going short on rallies.

UPDATE ON BTC ANALYSISBTC/USD 1D - Well as you can see price has played out exactly as we predicted yesterday providing us with an amazing push to the upside. I do however want to see price correct itself before the next push up.
I have gone ahead and marked out the order block I have in mind that I would like to see price come and clear before it continues in this hawkish way. I feel this could be a great area to get involved in those longs from.
As we know there are some great prospects for BTC so its important that we are always looking for key areas of interest for us to buy in from with this market being a bullish one.
I will keep you all posted on how this market places out over the coming days, but a big well done to anyone who may have taken advantage of the last post on this pair and profited!
THOUGHTS ON THE GBP/USD MARKETGBP/USD 1H - Yes we are wanting to see weakness in the USD this week, however price may trade us lower initially to clear the orders fully before the move higher.
We have seen that price has broken structure fractally on the 30M timeframes, again this could be short lived and this could be just to clear the inefficient structure before taking us higher again, missing the zone we have marked out below.
This is why it is important that with every trade we place we wait for relevant confirmation before entering to avoid getting caught out. I will be waiting for price to trade us up and breaking structure fractally before I look to take the market short.
Even then it will only be an intraday/day trade, one that I will look to close by the end of week. I will keep you all posted with anything I do on this pair. SIT ON YOUR HANDS AND WAIT!
LOOKING TO TAKE THIS MARKET LONGGBP/JPY 1H - I am looking to take this market long as well, I am expecting weakness in the dollar this week and this market backs my thoughts based on the fundamentals.
We have seen that price has come to trade back into this area of Demand and in doing so has provided us with the potential means to get involved with some long trades.
In order for me to take part in this market long though I want to get involved with a refined entry, I have gone ahead and set an alert just above zone price has traded into recently and one above the zone lower.
I want to see price either correct itself fractally now, trading down to clear the FVG or lower down and into the large Demand Zone I have marked out for us. I will update you all when I have something.
UPDATE ON EUR/USD ANALYSISEUR/USD 1H - As you all know I am looking to take this market long as soon as price has given us the confluence and confirmation needed in order to take it long.
I want to see price trade down and into a relevant area of Demand in order to deem us a refined entry, once price trades down and into the Demand Zone we then want to see relevant breaks in structure.
This is because a break in the structure that traded price down, the correction, would essentially confirm to us that it has come to an end and enough Demand has been introduced to see the market now trade higher.
Once we have the break in structure and we have the confirmation needed, its then a case of waiting for price to pullback, trading into a more refined area of interest, this is where we enter from.
