Price swept liquidity below the previous day’s low and then powered back up, breaking structure to the upside. Now it’s sitting above the 50 EMA, moving through fair value gaps left by the rally. I’m watching for a possible pullback into the FVG zone near the EMA. If that level holds, price could look to reach for the liquidity above around 3,365. But here’s what...

Last week was probably one of the slowest weeks I’ve ever had. I found two setups, but neither one truly materialized. They just didn’t meet all the conditions in my plan. It was tough. I won’t pretend it wasn’t tempting to drop my rules and chase other strategies just so I could be in the market. But deep down, I knew exactly what I wanted. I want to be ...

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...

Price swept the liquidity above the previous day’s high and then broke structure to the downside. That’s often a sign that smart money was hunting stops before shifting direction. Now I’m watching for price to come back and fill the imbalance (FVG) it left after the break. If that happens and price respects the FVG zone, we could see a continuation lower with the...

EURGBP has been showing a clean bullish structure on the 1 hour chart. We got a solid break of structure that left behind an imbalance and price is now pulling back. There’s a fair value gap just above the previous day’s low and also some local liquidity resting below the last minor low. If price dips into that FVG, fills the imbalance and takes out a bit more...

EURCAD just cleared out some liquidity at the highs and is now pulling back into an interesting zone. The bullish structure is still intact, and price has left behind a clean fair value gap right above the previous day’s low. This zone is where I’m watching closely.

USDCAD tapped into a clear liquidity zone and showed signs of weakness at the top. Price is now hovering near a potential break of structure, and a fair value gap has formed just above. If we get that break, the idea is to wait for price to retrace into the FVG, then look for a clean continuation to the downside. There’s also a bearish trendline holding well,...
