Fairvaluegap
$FTM Technical Analysis - R Fair Value Gap Turned Support *SMC**SMC* = Smart Money Concepts. See related Ideas for tutorials
In Smart Money, there are specific candle formation that will lead to a lot of clues to price action results. Yesterday FTM was the product child of those clues. Currently, the price has hit the top od the daily / weekly fair value gap. I just closed my long position because I expect it to retrace to thebottom of the weekly fair value gap, which in turn is also a breaker. These will act as support so once price reaches $0.548 we should see that support start working it's magic
Current chart label (1) Lower time frame
(2) It could retrace to the bottom of the order block which would balance the chart on a weekly level and then would also turn bullish at$0.51885 - See chart two higher time frame

We shall see good luck and happy trading
DAX SHORT (PAPER PRACTISE)Looked bearish after the middle green candle 10:15 couldn't push past the 9:00 open bear candle before the drawback (BSL) . The EMA's and the weakening of new highs gave me confluence that the internal SSL would be swept along with the 9:45 close SSL. Quick trade however should of waited for the imbalance to be filled ( double 1 m FVG) below the SSL and then close my positon to ensure that it is still a bullish market structure. Moved stop loss to 0 making it risk free after the 1m ticked past the first SSL. Entry and close marked at 11:45.
GBPUSD Possible seeing a Bearish push lower
As you can clearly see from the chart:
-Price reacted to the weekly Swing High and created a change of Character ( ChoCh), Which left an Orderblock (OB).
- Price came back to mitigate the OB after sweeping the trendline liquidity ( $$$)
-We would probably see price dropping lower to fill in the fair value gab( FVG).

Looks like BTC is getting rejected just before the FOMC meeting!Here's a quick look at the 2 hr. BTC chart. As we can see, the price entered a strong order block, couldn't break through, and got rejected. The price was also forming the bearish rising wedge pattern, which now has broken to the downside. If the price doesn't hold above support zone 1, we will likely see support zone 2 at 18k-18.4k. The fair Value Gap will get filled at some point. This adds to the price breaking below support zone 1, thereby getting down to support zone 2!
The FOMC meeting is taking place on 1. February, and we should expect some volatility just before the meeting! Trade safe!

What's a Fair Value Gap?:
A fair value gap is the difference between a financial instrument's theoretical value and market value, such as a derivative or security. It can indicate a misprizing opportunity for traders to profit by buying or selling at the misprized level. In other words, there is a gap in the price in which some open orders still need to be filled. The price will return to fill the orders.

BTC entering a strong order block!Here's a quick look at the daily BTC chart. As we can see, the price has been rallying for the past few weeks and has now entered a strong order block! There's a lot of sell pressure in this zone, so there's a high probability that the price will get rejected. Also, there's a fair value gap at 19.8k, which gets filled most of the time. Therefore we should expect some retracement to this level (19.8k) at least.
Historically the bottom has occurred in November, December and January, and we are within the bottoming period for BTC.
We need at least a higher high before I accept a bullish reversal idea. A weekly close above the order block would be perfect for a bullish reversal idea.

FVG (fair value gap) unfilled at $17,550 (BTC)First of all, please tap that like button to show your support 👍
FVG = fair value gap.
$17,550 is the area I'm looking at right now to close longs.
Nothing about this current formation at the highs here is telling me it looks toppy yet but this might change after we fill the daily FVG.
More to come soon, stay safe and have a great day tomorrow.
Cheers 👍
a great position for ETHhello guys...
let's review what happen to BINANCE:ETHUSDT in the last 7 days!
1- dump a lot and make a gap or fair value gap in the middle of the gap!
2- retrace to %50 of the last dump or leg.
3- stuck on consolidation for several days.
4- reach to %50 of correction again!
5- formed a tiny ascending trendline and then, boom dump it again!
the last candle that made a trendline breakdown has made a great area for getting a short position.
my forecast (not analysis)
price come back to %50 of the leg again and will hunt preview liquidity pool, so if you get a short position close at last on 1070!
always do your research.

Thanks
#GBPUSD - GO LONG AFTER THE FALL? - *SMT**SMT = smart money theory = see relasted tutoprial regarding what smart money is. Sm,art money is how the charts can be manipulated, and how y0ourself can be manipulated into believing a false sense technical analysis.
With the price dropping in one day what iyt gained over the course of the week. The price has dropped below sell side liquidity levels, but to remain bullish needs to stay above a CERTAIN BULLISH ORDER BLOCK LEVEL, otherwise we could see the price turn right back around and go down for GBP, but I think the BOE will be quicker to adapt to the FED knowing the consequences now. S I would guesss that it is moving up into the the hourly fvg and then will get rejected above the premium by smart money, amnd that point it dips a little further, as to where y09ou can enter a second time afgter taking profit the first time around 1.22665 Enter again near 1.21420 if possible and continue to ride this up to 1.26090 to be safe.
I have two entries
both at 1.21420
First one reaches what is said above and you take your fiorst profit there, it could slip back down to the entrance or even further, into a small fair value gap below which I have prepared for on the second entry,. and ther stop losses at 1.21120 & 1.20525
the second run with the deeper stop loss also has a much larger target at 1.26090 ner the top of the bearish order block. the R:R is 6:1 and 5:1 respectively, so if this woprks out t he way I ho [e it doers in the next week or two, 10% can be added top the account if played correctly.
I was once the smarrt money student who has become an instructor. Let's Hope my intuitions are correct about thias.
With that said if you hit the first take profit but go out on the second sdtop loss, you should still be at a winning ratio. It's about how to grow yojur account. Everyday you won't hit a homerun. But if y0ou hold the bat long enough, the ball will go far.
Cheers, Good Luck and Good trading.
Retail vs. Smart Money - Truth vs. Manipulation tutorial - *SMT*
SMT= Smart Money Theory. Look at the related idea for a previous tutorial on this. This will be a continuation of that tutorial, how we're taught to trade is manipulation tactics by the institutions, and how to realize whats actually happening.
When I first started, I started to learn how to trade under a an MLM company called iMarkets Live. Some instructors were good and were starting to catch on to what was happening to price action. Others just marked levels,. or tried to use way too many jndicators to find a trade. I ended up losing a lot of money that year because there was no cohesion. I find myself asking "why?" a lot. And if this "Trade the trend is supposed to work so well, why was I getting screwed so bad everytime I went to trade off that trend line. Until I fdinally found the one person who dug deep into the charts and found the truth and I've never seen any other trade get more accurate while trading live.
1. Price is manipulated on every chart. That is their commodity to protect and they'll go down in flames protecting their commodity. Whether that commodity is currency or stocks, there's someone or groups that own enough to control the chart. And that algorithm re-starts everydsay at midnight NY Time. Just before the London session starts
2. The charts above represent what a smart Money Technical Analyst would create for his chart, the second is the retail theory, how your "Taught" to think what tedhnical analysis is supposed to be. Fore example, you would normally out a trendline going down atop the downtrend, and when the price breaks that down trend then you'll told wait for the "Retest" of the price to hit that trend line. But sometimes it doesn't and you've missed your opportunity at a breakaway right? No, you just followed the wrong path on how to read price action. And could've caught that breakaway knowingt that it's not "retesting" the top trendline, instead it's finding the last price that the institutions sold off hard to try and make the retail traders sell as well. Evidently they were successful because the institution then come in and buy it up and a huge discount. And they buy up so much at the start of the run, it breaks the structures previous swing high In fact they probabloy are still holding a short position near that swing high so aftyer it breaks the high and closes above it, it retraces slightly back to the price area of the the previous high. Why? So they can then breakeven on the trade of holding that short while also capitalizing on the long they are taking because of how much of a discount they were able to buy up.
Lets take the current chart for example. When you see the price formation of a low / high / lower low, The last bullish candle in the high formation is now Resistance that will turn Support. I have the Low / High / Lower Low Color Coordinated with it's Breaker Blocks Border or just "Breaker."
As you can see it, each time it breaks the previous structures high (Where I write Break of structure with a line at the top of previous DAILY body that was broke and closed abnove, thje price then slighjtly retreats, back into that High candle's price range, doesn't close below it and then makes another large move to the upside. Its retreating down to a place where they could still be hold a short from the previous quarter (yes, you read that right, they have deep pockets, they can be in the red forever and ity weon't matter, they;'ll manipulate it until they get what's theirs, this is why Larry Williams has 90 day lookbacks in his analysis)
Here's the scary part. Now that you have read that and it seems so obvious and your going "Why was I taught to think about it like this?" (See Next Chart)
I was taught to think of analysis this way, I'm sure you have at one point. When the trendline breaks then we should see a retest and more bullish trend / channel. However, after it breaks the trendline, it didn't retest, neither is it really following the "Channel" it created. It's inside the channel but Following the trend as you would like to see, correct? even if we look a little closer on the 4 hour it looks further off
Why is it not doing exactly as we were taught it should? Because we were taught wrong. Price doesn't know if it's following a channel, it doersn't know if it's creating a Triangle, it doesn't know if it's making a flag.
What does it remember? Price levels. Therefore, the way we were taught was wrong and the correct way to look at support and resistance is actually an area within a price range. Why? As mentioned before, it's the institutions ,manipulating the charts to retreat back to an are to where it may have been holding a short and is now looking to break even while cranking up the long earnings. This is all by design. Now look at the chart again with how I just explained it, look for the break of structure, check for the close above the previous swing high close, then see where the price falls to, check to see if it is within a high of a previous swing high candle. If it breaks lower and closes lower, then we have 1 of 2 things
1) Price could have run into a Bearish Breaker (Where you have a High / Low / Higher High and the Low of that formation is a breaker that reject the price and we could see the price start to retrace lower. or
2) Also Look to see if the Break of structure that was broken has a string of balanced bullish candles to form one large Breaker. If so, the price may look like it is lower than what it should, but still within the breraker. i.e. CURRENT PRICE (see chart)
We have a large breaker if you consider the two balanced bullish candles on the far left. If the are balanced, they act as one candle (Meaning their wicks touch, there's no fair value gap) See Chart -
So I see this as still being within the Bullish vain, and we'll have to see if it's going to keep reaching for the break of structure.
Why is it going tio the break of Structure? That is where the Liquidity is sitting by the retail user and the institutions want to take that liquidity for their own pockets. Howevever, We'll Save Liquidity for Next "Smart Money Knowledge Tutorial"
If you have any questions please shoot them below. I'll do my best to answer. If it doesn't make sense to you and you see a flaw in my analysis, a flaw in my reasoning as to why it would be manipulated, please let me know.
Personally, I like having an answer as to why price does what it does, which is why I am behind the Smart Money theory of Manipulation. It makes way more sense than the previous explanation of "It just breaks trend and will continue in that direction." ..... where I feel "This is the area price was before on a short and the institutions need to break even after blowing past it making profit up to that point"
I hope I was able to break this "Smart Money" theory down a bit further and was able to help make sense of thewe things.l This was inspired by a meme I had seen on LinkedIn of the price running up pasty the break of structure and there's a trendline on top of the rear down slope and the price retests and starts moving up. The meme was based off this with a person almost in tears of joy.
My point? Don't see the price action as a result above. Understand it as this
I went to write my explanation that was a different interpretation and by the time I finished I couldn't find the Meme again. So I felt it was my calling to continue writing a major Smart Money Analysis points that many people need to see and hear.
If you enjoy these explainations of Smart Money, please let me know and I'll continue on a series of these with a point behind each one.
Thank you!

NASDAQ READY FOR LOWER LOWS?We have seen a rejection from premium of the marked range. I think Nasdaq has run out of steam and we will see lower lows. So my bias is short. A tap into the highlighted '' fair value gap'' would be good. I'm staying out of the market as end of the year tends to get messy and volume will be lacking.
GOOD LUCK!
