*SMT* = Smart Money Theory = everything you think that is not retail related to trading. First, SMT does not believe that triangles, wedges , trendlines , channels, harmonics, etc. has any effect on how price reacts. I'm Sorry, but you won't convince me that Bitcoin knows it has created a triangle and that it knows how to react from that? It does and will remember price levels, that's it. The second is to recognize that the price is not random, it is set by an algorithm controlled by those that control the asset. The Third thing to remember is price will move toward attacking where there is Liquidity (Equal Highs, Equal Lows, phantom Trendlines etc.) and Balance (Fair Value Gaps, Liquidity Voids.) That's the basics. The rest is very unique in the vocabulary you need to have and the concepts that wrap around these ideas.*
As XMR just finished creating the Break of Structure on the low side and came up short of breaking the structure on the high side, it appears that this was just a runned attempt at a bearish order block to be rejected back down into the last 4 hour fair value gap area. I marked the weekly consequential encroachment (Half of the weekly FVG, $121-122) and entered short there....As it's rejected it starts to head toward the bottom of the 4 hour FVG which is also a confluence at the 79-80% which is where most rebounds happen. and that number is 104-105 as an opening. On this one I could go either way but the earlier I enterered the less of % wager I would press and low leverage. The later the stage it gets the later you enter the more you can wager and add leverage.
And taking from the smart money playbook the earlier and sharper the price rises during the week , the more it will fall as the week goes on. Low possibly being on Friday or Saturday, looking for it to get around 105 by then.
If you watch the analysis week by week, It's an obvious pattern.
You're either trading with Smart Money Theory or your just burning your money money. Believe me, I've been there.
