Liquidity

GU| Patiently Watching This Setup Cook4H gave me the (BOS) break of structure to the downside - that's my bearish intent on the higher timeframe. Price could climb into the supply zone above before delivering that reversal. Dropped to the 30M, structure is still bullish for now, showing strong momentum. Now it's a waiting game... Do we dip to take out that sell-side liquidity (SSL) for a clean buy setup first? Or... are we already mitigating the 4H supply and about to print a bearish shift on 30M? Either way, I'm letting price tell me the truth. No chasing. No guessing. Just real logic with structure & inducement flow. Stay sharp. Bless Trading!

"BTC hit TP - exactly how I mapped it out."Patience, structure, and precision. I said what I said, drew what I drew, and price did exactly what I expected. No guessing, no hoping - just reading price and letting it come to me. Too many traders chase candles. I waited for structure to align, watched price respect the levels I outlined, and took the trade when the market gave me confirmation. This isn't luck - it's consistency through discipline and clarity. + TP smashed. + Structure respected. + Psychology intact. Stay Sharp. Let price speak. Read it right, and it'll hand you what you're looking for. #BTC #Bitcoin #SmartMoney #PriceAction #PatiencePays #inducementKing Bless Trading!

If Trend Reverses, We'll Most likely See 106-109k FirstTrading Fam, We'll bring our knowledge of liquidity to the chart here today. You guys know that my new indicator utilizes liquidity as a prime factor in helping to alert us when to buy and sell any given asset. In our chart here today, I have also brought over the liquidation map from Glassnode, which will help us gain further insight into what Bitcoin's next move might be. First, let me explain a few of the drawing here. For those who may be new, those liquidity blocks are printed by LuxAlgo's "Liquidity Swings" indicator. I have incorporated them into my indicator and have combined it with another to alert me as to exactly when it might become a good time to buy or sell. Typically, I set the blocks to have a 15 day life cycle. When we are overbought and enter into a sell-side liquidity block, my indicator will flash a red dot. When we are oversold and enter into a buy-side liquidity block, my indicator will flash a green dot. These are typically super-accurate signals and are, at least, a good time to start your exits and/or entries but unfortunately, these DOTS DO NOT APPEAR in this chart due to this being a private indicator distributed by invite only. I use additional indicators for confirmation and to support what my indicator is showing me, such as the VRVP. You can see the VRVP Point of Control (PoC) is at 96,425 in this chart, meaning that most of our recent traded volume is to the underside of us right now. This is positive. However, it is important to recognize that sometimes that PoC can act as sort of a magnet to pull price back to that area before further directional price trend movement. Keep this in mind as we continue to consider price movement here. Back to the liquidity blocks. I've extended our last big liquidity block from Jan-Feb of this year out past the normal 15 day life cycle that I usually set. I think this is important as it appears to align with the data that I've brought over from Glassnode's Liquidation Map. Notice that on the map you see large liquidity pools both below the current price and also, above it. But the larger liquidity pool remains above us at the time of this post. This aligns with the resistance levels I have drawn on the chart in white which remain above us. And currently, we are also forming a bull flag pattern. So, are greatest probability of price movement right now remains to the upside. I am targeting that 106-108k area. Once hit, trend reversal could occur. Here's what I expect. We hit 106-108k. Then, at this point, the market must make a critical decision; do we continue up, beating previous highs, or do we first drop down and liquidate all those late longs from 93-104k? Now, since we know that big money is in this game and wants as much as they can get at the best price possible, it is easier to determine what might occur. I suggest that once liquidation occurs up to 106-108k, sell-side pressure will be placed on the market in hopes of driving price back down to clean out all of those late long entries. That PoC level at around 96k is a good target here. Once this price has been hit, freeing up hundreds of millions in liquidated Bitcoin, the big buyers (smart money) will step back in to swoop up the loot and Bitcoin will be free to trend back up again. Now, as always, I could be wrong. Let's talk about what happens if we beat our 106-108k overhead resistance levels. In this case, we could see Bitcoin pump as high as 125k before any local trend reversal begins to occur. I will re-assess at this point. BLUF: 106-108k is key resistance. Mark your charts and keep your eye on what price does there. It will be key to what happens next. ✌️Stew

BTC Long Bias – Here’s the BreakdownEveryone’s screaming “99K dump” — I’m not buying it. Price swept BSL at the highs without touching the 30M OB that caused the move down. But instead of breaking down, it formed bullish structure and held. That tells me smart money isn’t done buying yet. 🎯 Entry Zone: 101K–102K (where price showed strength) 🎯 Target: 104,979.32 (previous 30M high + liquidity resting there) Price respected the bullish structure and gave the reaction I called off the demand zone. Now just waiting for a clean 5M entry with inducement + OB. Let the rest wait on 99K. I’ll follow what the market actually tells me. #BTC #SmartMoney #SMC #Inducement #OrderBlocks #TradeWhatYouSee Bless Trading!

BTC Update - Called It Clean Just like I marked up - price came right into that (demand zone) and gave us the bullish reaction I expected. Zone held strong. No flinch. No cap. Now that the higher timeframe has done its job, I'm down here on the lower timeframes hunting entries like a sniper. Patience. Precision. Letting the market walk into my trap. IF you know, you know.

XAUUSD Daily Sniper Plan – Monday, May 12, 2025“Structure First. Noise Later. Gold Moves Clean When You Do.” ⚖️🧠 Intraday Bias: Bullish, short-term recovery inside broader pullback Structure: CHoCH confirmed at 3284 → market forming higher low structure 🔍 H1 Market Flow Overview: Price broke structure above 3284–3292, forming a clean CHoCH on H1. Since then, price impulsively pushed toward 3340, pausing around 3314–3318. EMAs (5/21/50) are starting to align bullish, with EMA5 now crossing above 21. Volume compression + wicks suggest potential accumulation in the 3314–3318 zone. 📌 Key H1 Zones (Above & Below Price) 🔺 Resistance Zones Zone Description 3340–3345 Friday’s high + intraday liquidity trap zone 3380–3395 Strong H1/Daily confluence resistance (OB + FVG) 🔻 Support Zones Zone Description 3314–3318 🔵 Micro liquidity pocket + HL accumulation zone – potential inducement/reentry base 3284–3292 🔵 CHoCH base – must hold for bullish structure to continue 3260–3265 🔵 Deep intraday OB + liquidity sweep zone 3220–3235 🔵 Major HTF demand – structural last line of defense 🔁 Scenarios for Monday (May 12): 🟢 Bullish Setup: If price holds above 3314–3318, we may see a reattempt toward 3340, then potentially push into 3380–3395. Retest of 3314 zone could serve as HL confirmation before breakout. 🔴 Bearish Setup: If 3314 fails and price closes below 3284, this invalidates current bullish micro-structure. In that case, we target 3260 or even 3235 depending on momentum. Rejection from 3340 or 3380 without BOS → short toward 3284 or 3250 Clean break below 3284 flips LTF bearish 🎯 Sniper Logic: Gold is trapped in a battle between Friday’s high and the CHoCH base. The true breakout will come once either 3345 is reclaimed clean, or 3284 fails hard. Until then, play inside structure — sniper entries only. 💬 Final Words: Gold doesn’t bluff — but it does bait and trap. Mark your zones, wait for confirmation, and let the impulsive ones get hunted. Gold doesn’t care about your bias — only about the zones that hold. If 3284 stays protected, bulls might reload. If it cracks, fade the optimism and follow the flow down. 🟡 Stay smart. Stay patient. And remember: clean structure = clean profit. ✨ Drop your thoughts in the comments, smash that like, and follow GoldFxMinds for sniper-level clarity every session.

XAUUSD Weekly Outlook – May 12–17, 2025High Timeframe Bias: Bullish with active pullback under premium supply 🔍 Macro Structure Insight: Market structure remains bullish on Weekly, with a recent ATH at ~3500. Price showed a strong rejection from the 3448–3500 premium supply zone but found support near 3284–3292. We are currently in a retracement phase, and the next few candles will determine if it’s a reload or deeper correction. 📌 Key Weekly Structural Zones Zone / Level Description 3500 ✅ ATH – liquidity sweep & rejection 3448–3500 🔺 Premium Weekly Supply – key rejection zone 3380–3395 🔁 Weekly FVG – potential short-term resistance 3284–3292 🔵 Fresh Support – demand reaction after daily wick bounce 3220–3250 🔵 HTF Weekly Demand – equilibrium & previous BOS zone 3120–3150 ❗ Critical Support – losing this would break bullish structure 📈 Fibonacci Weekly Extension Zones (Above ATH – 2285 → 3500 Leg) Extension Level Target Price Description 1.0 3500 Current ATH 1.12 3560 First minor extension 1.18 3590 Shallow breakout target 1.236 3620 Key fibo confluence zone 1.272 3645 Round-level + breakout magnet 1.33 3680 Sentiment shift potential 1.414 3720 Major HTF fibo extension 1.5 3760 Mid-range round milestone 1.618 3800–3820 Golden extension + HTF magnet zone 🔁 Scenarios for This Week: Bullish Continuation: If 3284–3250 holds as a higher low → market may aim for 3380–3395, then test 3448–3500 again. Breaking above ATH could trigger targets toward 3560 → 3590 → 3645. Bearish Retracement: If price breaks below 3250, a deeper move toward 3120–3150 could begin. This would threaten the weekly bullish leg. ⚠️ Watch for: Weekly close below 3250 = short-term bearish shift Push and hold above 3360–3380 = signs of bullish continuation Rejection from 3448–3500 again = potential double-top liquidity trap

US100 - Liquidity sweep likely before bullish continuationFollowing a significant upward move last week, the US100 (Nasdaq 100 index) has entered a period of consolidation, currently exhibiting a ranging structure characterized by lower highs and relatively equal lows. This pattern typically suggests a tightening market where bullish momentum is cooling but not yet decisively reversed. The presence of equal lows is particularly notable from a liquidity perspective. In retail trading behavior, such levels often attract a high concentration of stop-loss orders placed just below the support zone. Market participants perceive these lows as a reliable level of support, but in doing so, they inadvertently create a pocket of liquidity just beneath them. Institutional players and market makers are well aware of these dynamics. It's common in such scenarios to witness what is known as a liquidity sweep, a short-term move below support levels to trigger stop-losses, fill large buy orders, and shake out weaker hands before the market resumes its dominant trend. Given the current context, there's a high probability that we may see a downside sweep targeting the liquidity resting beneath the equal lows. This move would likely be swift and sharp, clearing out stop orders before a potential bullish reversal unfolds. If confirmed, such a move could mark the end of the current range and initiate a new impulsive leg higher in the broader uptrend. Traders should watch for signs of price rejection or bullish divergence following the sweep as potential confirmation of this scenario. Until then, it’s prudent to remain patient and avoid getting trapped in the chop, especially near well-watched support zones. ------------------------------- Thanks for your support. - Make sure to follow me so you don't miss out on the next analysis! - Drop a like and leave a comment!

#GBPJPY UPDATES AND ANALYSISGBPJPY 4H Chart Analysis GBPJPY is exhibiting strong bullish structure on the 4H timeframe, with price currently forming higher lows and holding above a key ascending trendline. The marked demand zone around 189.94 has acted as a support area, suggesting potential accumulation before the next leg up. A bullish continuation is anticipated with three structured targets aligned at: Target 1: 191.773 Target 2: 193.320 Target 3: 194.832 The setup provides a favorable risk to reward scenario. A break and close below the demand zone and ascending trendline support would invalidate this bias. This is a higher time frame key levels. When price enters in our zone, look for confirmation in smaller time frame before executing your trades. Confirmation is key. This just my analysis. Use proper stoploss and proper money management for your trade. #GBPJPY 4H Technical Analysis Expected Move.

Understanding Liquidity: Where Big Players Hunt Stops Understanding Liquidity: Where Big Players Hunt Stops Ever wondered why price suddenly spikes through your stop-loss and reverses moments later? That’s not a coincidence—it’s liquidity at play. This article will teach you how liquidity zones work, why stop hunts happen, and how to avoid getting trapped like the crowd. 🔵 What Is Liquidity in Trading? Liquidity refers to how easily an asset can be bought or sold without drastically affecting its price. But in practical trading, liquidity is more than just volume—it’s where traders *place* their money. Large players—institutions, market makers, or big accounts—need liquidity to fill orders. They target areas where many retail stop-losses or pending orders are stacked. These areas are often just above resistance or below support—classic stop-loss zones. To move large positions without slippage, smart money uses stop hunts to trigger retail orders and create the liquidity they need. 🔵 Where Do Liquidity Zones Form? Liquidity often builds up in predictable areas: Above resistance: Where shorts place stop-losses. Below support: Where longs place stop-losses. Swing highs/lows: Obvious turning points everyone sees. Round numbers: e.g., 1000, 10,000, 50,000. Breakout zones: Where breakout traders place entries or stops. These zones act like magnets. When price approaches them, it accelerates—seeking the liquidity pool behind the level. 🔵 What Is a Stop Hunt? A stop hunt happens when price moves just far enough to trigger stop-losses before reversing. This isn’t market noise—it’s an intentional move by big players to: Trigger a flood of stop orders (buy or sell). Fill their own large positions using that liquidity. Reverse price back to fair value or the prior trend. Example: Price breaks above resistance → stops get hit → institutions sell into that liquidity → price drops sharply. 🔵 Signs You’re in a Liquidity Grab Look for these clues: Fast spike beyond key levels followed by rejection. Wick-heavy candles near highs/lows. Price touches a level, then sharply reverses. High volume on failed breakouts or fakeouts. These are signs of a liquidity event—not a real breakout. 🔵 How to Trade Around Liquidity Zones You can use liquidity traps to your advantage instead of becoming their victim. Avoid obvious stops: Don’t place stops directly below support or above resistance. Instead, use ATR-based or structure-based stops. Wait for confirmation: Don’t chase breakouts. Let price break, reject, then re-enter inside the range. Watch for wick rejections: If price quickly returns after a level is breached, it's often a trap. Use higher timeframe confluence: Liquidity grabs are more powerful when they align with HTF reversals or zones. 🔵 Real Example: Liquidity Sweep Before Reversal In this chart, we see a textbook liquidity grab: Price breaks below support. Longs get stopped out. Candle prints a long wick. Market reverses into an uptrend. This is where smart traders enter— after the trap is set, not during. 🔵 Final Thoughts Liquidity is the invisible hand of the market. Stop hunts aren’t personal—they’re structural. Big players simply go where the orders are. As retail traders, the best thing we can do is: Understand where traps are set. Avoid being part of the crowd. Trade the reaction, not the initial breakout. By thinking like the smart money, you can stop getting hunted—and start hunting for better trades.

BTC - Liquidity Mapping to Predict MovementAs a part II to my previous post on “Bull Market OR Bearish Retest?” - Here is a 2 day liquidity map on BTC’s chart. I’m anticipating a sharp drop to 7,000 - why is this number significant? There is a mass amount of liquidity in the chart down towards 7,000-10,000. This liquidity is in the form of long stop loss orders. In layman’s terms - the sell orders required to take price to this extreme low are already within the chart. It is a pre-set consequence to traders decisions in a market dominated by leveraged buys and sells. If we consider what the “floor” price of BTC is (IE all long term secured holders) - we first have to seperate out the leveraging liquidity used in the futures market. How much of the BTC market cap is injected liquidity from futures / derivatives? In my view, anything above 7,000. This liquidity can flow in and out, and the business and function behind it isn’t affected. This liquidity is extremely fluid. It can drop 90,000 and rise 90,000 shortly after without any affect on the fundamental value of Bitcoin. Sure there is a psychological consequence with perceived value and market stability - but the fact is, leveraged liquidity can enter the market and leave the market with no impact at all on the wallets of market makers. Food for thought - happy trading.

NAS100USD: Price Respects Bearish Structure at 62% FibGreetings Traders, In today’s analysis on NAS100USD, we observe sustained bearish institutional order flow, and we aim to align with this directional bias by identifying high-probability selling opportunities. KEY OBSERVATIONS: 1. Retracement into Premium Resistance: Price has recently retraced into premium pricing levels, reaching the 62% Fibonacci retracement zone—a level that often acts as dynamic resistance. This retracement also aligned with a bearish breaker block, confirming institutional resistance at that level. The market has since shown signs of rejection, reinforcing the bearish narrative. 2. Emergence of Fair Value Gap (FVG) as a Key Resistance Array: Following the rejection, a new FVG has formed, acting as a potential short-term resistance zone. This area provides a refined point of interest where institutions may look to re-engage in selling activity. The alignment of the FVG with previous resistance adds further confluence to the bearish setup. TRADING PLAN: We will monitor the newly formed FVG zone for signs of bearish confirmation. Upon confirmation, the plan is to execute short positions targeting liquidity pools in discounted price zones, in line with institutional price delivery patterns. Remain focused, wait for confirmation, and make sure this idea aligns with your overall trading plan. Kind Regards, The Architect
