XAUUSD - Clean HTF Price Action

15-Minute Price Action Breakdown | Liquidity Sweep Into HTF FVG and CISD Model

The 15-minute chart illustrates a precise example of liquidity engineering and reversal within the framework of a higher timeframe draw on liquidity. Here's a breakdown of what occurred:

---

Contextual Framework

Price was clearly drawn toward a high time frame imbalance zone, labeled as the HTF Draw On Liquidity (FVG+). This zone was formed from a daily fair value gap and aligned with a major swing low, creating a perfect magnet for price.

---

Liquidity Sweep

As anticipated, price aggressively swept the prior lows, diving deep into the HTF FVG. This move triggered stop orders and induced sell-side liquidity just before a sharp reversal occurred. The aggressive reaction off the low confirmed the presence of smart money activity.

Model In Play: CISD, Risk Entries, and Clear Draw On Liquidity

After the sweep, a clean Change In State of Delivery (CISD) was printed. This marked the shift in order flow and offered confirmation that the previous bearish delivery had been invalidated. From this point, price began forming clean risk entry setups on the 15-minute chart.

Each retracement into minor imbalances respected the HTF FVG body perfectly. Price began stair-stepping higher with well-defined risk, offering multiple opportunities to join the move.

The clear target was the obvious draw on liquidity above the prior highs. Price reached and cleared that level cleanly, completing the full liquidity cycle.

Conclusion

This is a textbook case of smart money mechanics:

Price sweeps sell-side liquidity into an HTF imbalance
Market structure shifts via CISD
Price offers clean risk-defined entries
Final target is the high-probability draw on liquidity above recent highs

A clean and mechanical model, perfectly aligned across multiple timeframes.
