GBP/USD Daily Analysis 12/10/2023My Long position was triggered, which lined up with my analysis. Unfortunately my short position was not triggered on the way down, the gap between the market movement and my short entry was very small (Marked out by the small circle between the wick and the red line), I will have to look into my analysis and reevaluate my entry strategy/level as I missed a few pips as the short would’ve hit take profit with minimal to no drawdown. I have also set an alert for my partial profits level for my running long position which is at the lowest point in an imbalance which was created on the way down to my entry.

GBP/USD Daily Analysis 11/10/2023Unfortunately my take profit zone on my previous trade was mitigated throughout the day, however I have altered my take profit to the next liquidity point which was an imbalance a few pips above and I have also set the previous, now mitigated, take profit zone (marked by the red line) as an area for a quick short entry to take as I believe price will bounce off of this level and down to the next low to take out the downside liquidity before travelling back up to align with my original analysis.

BXY Analysis 10/10/2023As you can see with the current state of the BXY market, it is currently in and upwards trend creating higher lows consistently marked by the circles on the closes of the wicks. The red rectangle marks out the area where price was operating below my entry price on GBP/USD and as you can see the arrows show the date range that buyers and sellers were actually successfully transacting below this price as seen by the open and closed candles in this range. The total time spent with buyers and sellers transacting below this range was 8 days and 8 hours and this is the lowest it has transacted in the last 7 months. This is why I have set my stop loss around this area as I do not believe that price will transact much lower than this due to the large wicks you see which represent buyers and sellers not able to find fair value and price bouncing away instead of solid closes due to buyers and sellers being unable to find a price they are both happy to transact at.

DXY Analysis 10/10/2023This is just my brief analysis of the Dollar Index (DXY) to support my idea that the GBP/USD market will push to the downside then retrace up to the next liquidity point. As you can see the DXY is making lower highs on its way down, creating points of liquidity to be taken as it moves. I believe these points will be taken, creating a move to the upside taking out the stop losses above before coming back down. Please note - The DXY moves inverse to the GBP/USD market.

GBP/USD Analysis 10/10/2023I have located a long position that I would like to take in the GBP/USD Market where I will target the next liquidity high point after I believe there will be a move to the downside to take out lower stop losses before the main move the upside. I have noticed points of liquidity on the British Pound Index (BXY) and the Dollar Index (DXY) that support this theory. I have set my entry off of an order block to the downside which I believe will be filled and I have placed my stop 10 pips below that and I am looking at around a 1:5 RR on this trade with 0.5% risk on my demo account.

XAU/USD Daily Analysis 10/10/2023During today’s analysis there has not been much movement in the market, however the market is creating new liquidity points by forming higher lows (where stop losses will lie below them) and higher highs, which looks like an uptrend is forming. However I will be looking for a liquidity grab into the daily demand zone over the next few days before I will look to enter a long position into the next liquidity point. Side note - I may potentially look for short positions as the liquidity is grabbed based on market movements and/or order blocks or other confluences.

XAU/USD Daily Analysis 09/10/2023With my Daily Analysis of charts I have marked out some areas of liquidity on the XAU/USD market (e.g. a double top on the H1, a few unmitigated Asian session highs and a few unmitigated imbalances to the upside). The market appears as though it will make an upwards move over the next few days however I can see liquidity being created on the downside as the market moves upwards. Until I can see a clear entry I will continue with my analysis and wait for clear confluences and indications.

❗ USDJPY: Unimaginable Highs ⚡Crazy right?!😲 Who would have thought we would be back trading at the 1998 highs? Well, here we are. Sooooo what is the game plan now? Ideally, we need to figure out a zone to sell from! 👇 So let's figure that out together: Where is everyone trying to sell from currently? ⚡ The supply zone we are currently trading in. Where will everyone's stop losses be if they are selling now in this supply zone? ⚡ Above the high. So where can we expect liquidity and stop loss hunting? ⚡ Above the high. Great! Now wait for the liquidity grab and begin your search for possible sells once that is complete. Happy trading folks!! 😀😁😆

#OIL selling opportunityHi dear traders and colleagues, lets look at oil and see if there is any selling opportunity in this commodity or not. As you can see on the chart we have done a research and find out that any time when stochastic indicator is in overbought in Weekly timeframe and cross below cross below its signal line we have seen a bearish move by the price. Other things that gives us more confluences to take this trade is the fact that price currently is testing resistance area and also close to tentative bearish trendline. from fundamentally perspective also we know although we shortage supply by the side of suppliers especially from Saudi Arabia but the fact that we are close to the end of hiking cycle by the central banks and as a result we can see some damages in economic which cause lower demand for the oil. These are all showing that at least having a bearish correction move in Oil prices is possible and even if price wants to go higher we can have correction from this area.

10/2/23: Sell Setup on SPX10/2/23: Sell Setup: I was looking for a continuation set up on SPX. TK/SY session set a small range that held London but was taken out in the premarket session. This left a 1H/15m-FVG set up with a -OB on the 1H. Price trades into the 15m-FVG (L) and pushed down and failed to make a new low followed by EQLs being set in NY open session. Once the EQLs were made we traded back into the 15m-FVG(MT) and tapped into the mid point. I didn’t see the clean enter in the 15m but the 5m chart gave a great entry that I missed. My targets were the PDL, EQLs/Thurs PDL, and PWL. No entry on the setup, had two attended two meetings back to back and I had to present on the calls. This was the 1st set up I was looking for but I was on a work call and miss this one. This gave confirmations on the 5m/15m charts and this would have been a trade that would have hit the first target of 4274.08 then BE on the remaining. This was the second entry I was looking for, higher into the 15m-FVG. NAS was also reaching into its own FVG which gave me a more validation this was a good setup. But as soon as we passed the mid point at 4297.80 it tanked without confirmations on any of the LTFs, even as far as the 1m chart. This was the final entry, later than I would normally be looking for anything but also no confirmation and this was a good thing because the price could not take out the low and pushed back up off to the DL. Sell Entry: 4293.05,4297.80, 4284.39 SL: 4300,4303.65,4293.05 Targets: 4274.08, 4263.03,4238.23 We’re pushing up for now, we have NY session high, Weekly opening price, and Friday PDH 15m chart:

Exploring GBPCAD's Current Markdown PhaseTraders, pay close attention! The GBPCAD pair is currently showing clear signs of entering the markdown phase within a distribution pattern. 🇬🇧🇨🇦 In the context of the Wyckoff distribution, the markdown phase is a crucial stage where the price undergoes a controlled decline after prolonged accumulation. This phase often signifies a shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish. Observing the GBPCAD chart, you'll notice a gradual downtrend in prices with intermittent consolidations. This price action suggests that smart money, which accumulated positions during the accumulation phase, is now distributing their holdings. Key indicators, such as decreasing trading volumes and consistent lower highs, align with this markdown narrative. Traders should be cautious of potential breakdowns below key support levels as they can accelerate the markdown process. It's essential to stay vigilant during this phase. Smart traders may consider shorting opportunities, while others might tighten stop-loss orders on existing long positions. Remember, successful trading is about adaptability and reading the market's language. Stay tuned for further insights and updates on GBPCAD as we navigate this intriguing markdown phase. 🚀📉 #TradingAnalysis #GBPCAD #MarkdownPhase #MarketInsights

How to trade Liquidity Sweeps 🌊 Trading liquidity sweeps 🌊 and identifying fake liquidity grabs 🕵️‍♂️ can be valuable skills for traders. These strategies involve capitalizing on market inefficiencies and understanding how institutional traders and algorithms influence price movements. In this guide, we'll explore what liquidity sweeps and fake liquidity grabs are and how to trade them effectively. Understanding Liquidity Sweeps: A liquidity sweep occurs when a trader executes a large market order that "sweeps" through the order book, clearing out available liquidity at various price levels. These sweeps often signal strong buying or selling interest, potentially leading to significant price moves. Identifying Fake Liquidity Grabs: Fake liquidity grabs 🎭 are market manipulation techniques used to deceive traders. Market makers or large players might place large orders on the order book to give the illusion of significant interest at a specific price level. However, they often cancel these orders before they get executed, leading to sudden reversals in price. Trading Liquidity Sweeps: Monitor Order Flow: Keep an eye on order flow and trade volume to identify sudden surges in trading activity. Liquidity sweeps are often accompanied by spikes in volume. Identify Key Levels: Look for important support or resistance levels where liquidity sweeps are likely to occur. These levels can be based on technical analysis, such as previous highs or lows. Entry and Stop-loss: Enter a trade when you spot a liquidity sweep that confirms your bias. Set stop-loss orders to manage risk in case the market moves against you. Take Profits: Take profits when the market reacts as expected, but be prepared for quick price reversals. Liquidity sweeps can be followed by retracements. Trading Fake Liquidity Grabs: Be Cautious: Approach price moves driven by apparent liquidity grabs with caution. These moves can be short-lived. Confirm Price Action: Wait for confirmation of the direction after the fake liquidity grab. Look for signs that real market sentiment is driving the price. Risk Management: Place stop-loss orders to protect your capital in case the market reverses quickly. Avoid chasing the initial price move. Use Additional Indicators: Combine your analysis with other technical indicators or market sentiment tools to increase your confidence in your trading decisions. Conclusion: Trading liquidity sweeps and fake liquidity grabs can offer opportunities for profit, but they also come with risks. It's essential to have a clear strategy, strict risk management rules, and the ability to adapt to rapidly changing market conditions. As with any trading strategy, practice and experience will help refine your skills in identifying and capitalizing on these market dynamics. 🚀📈🌊

📈📊 Detecting Liquidity: Pivot Points and Trading ReversalsGreetings, fellow traders! Today, let's delve into the fascinating world of liquidity, pivot points, and how they can be essential elements in your trading strategy. Understanding the relationship between these factors can provide you with valuable insights into potential price reversals and market sentiment. 💡📈 🤔 What is Liquidity? Liquidity refers to how easily and quickly an asset can be bought or sold without significantly affecting its price. In the context of trading, liquidity often clusters at specific price levels, creating zones where many orders are concentrated. These zones can act as critical points of interest for traders. 🔄 Pivot Points and Liquidity: Pivot points are technical indicators calculated from previous price data, typically using the high, low, and close prices. They provide potential support and resistance levels, but they also reveal where liquidity might accumulate. 🔍 Liquidity Pools: Liquidity often pools around pivot points, creating liquidity pools. These pools represent price levels where a large number of buy and sell orders are clustered. Traders pay close attention to these levels as they can signal significant price reactions. 🚀 Trading Liquidity and Reversals: Here's how you can leverage liquidity and pivot points in your trading strategy: Identify Pivot Points: Use technical analysis tools to identify pivot points on your chart. There are various pivot point calculation methods, such as Standard, Fibonacci, or Camarilla. Choose the one that aligns with your trading style. Focus on Confluence: Look for confluence between pivot points and other technical indicators, such as trendlines, moving averages, or RSI. When multiple factors align at a specific price level, it strengthens the significance of that level. Observe Liquidity Zones: Pay attention to areas where liquidity is concentrated. These zones can act as magnets for price action. When price approaches a liquidity pool, it's more likely to experience significant movement. Spotting Reversal Signals: Reversals often occur near pivot points, especially if there's a confluence of factors. Look for candlestick patterns, divergence in oscillators, or other reversal signals to confirm a potential change in trend direction. Risk Management: Always implement proper risk management strategies. Set stop-loss orders to limit potential losses if the market moves against your position. 🌐 Conclusion: Understanding liquidity and pivot points can provide you with a unique perspective on market dynamics. By identifying liquidity pools and watching for reversal signals around pivot points, you can make more informed trading decisions. However, remember that no strategy is foolproof, and risk management is paramount. Keep refining your skills and adapt to ever-changing market conditions. 🔄📈
