02/07/25 - XAUUSD Trade Analysis & Execution Overall Context
The chart showcases:
• Smart money concepts (SMC) such as liquidity grabs, order blocks, and session-based trading.
• A bullish bias following a successful manipulation and mitigation during the Asian to London/NY overlap.
Key Concepts Highlighted
Liquidity Zones
• Buyside Liquidity (BSL) is marked above the recent highs, indicating retail buy stop orders — a key magnet for institutional price action.
• Price ultimately targets and sweeps this liquidity.
Sessions
• Tokyo/Asian Session Range is shaded, showing consolidation.
• Price creates a high marked “ASIAN SESSION HIGH”, which becomes a short-term liquidity target.
Order Block (OB)
• A bullish Order Block is marked below price, around the 3,332.126 area.
• Price taps into this OB during the London session, indicating institutional accumulation.
Trade Setup Breakdown
Entry Zone
• Price dipped into the Order Block (OB) after forming a higher low (HL) — this likely triggered long positions.
• Bullish order flow followed with clean, impulsive moves upward.
First Trade Position
• Trade enters post-OB mitigation and breaks above short-term structure.
• First TP (Take Profit) is possibly near the Asian Session High, where 50% was closed (partial profit-taking).
• Price retraces post-take-profit, but maintains bullish structure.
Second Trade Position
• After a retracement into a demand zone (gray shaded), another long opportunity arises.
• The second entry likely occurs after confirmation of support in the retracement.
• TP targets the next buyside liquidity pool.
Trade Management
• 50% Closures are clearly annotated — a risk management tactic to secure profit while letting the rest run.
• Each leg upwards is followed by a correction but respects bullish structure.
Final Target
• The final buyside liquidity pool at the top is swept, suggesting:
• Completion of the smart money play.
• Potential reversal zone or exhaustion.
