EUR/USD - After taking the highs, are the lows next?The EUR/USD currency pair is moving between two important price levels. The top level is 1.1454 and the bottom level is 1.1357. This means the price is staying inside a range. Yesterday, the price of EUR/USD went above the top level of 1.1454. By doing this, it triggered many stop-loss orders from traders who were expecting the price to go down. These traders had placed their stop-losses just above this level, and the market moved up to take them out. Current support of the 1H FVG Now, the price is starting to go down again. It is getting closer to the lower level of the range, which is around 1.1357. There is a chance that the market will go below this level as well. If that happens, it may take out the stop-loss orders of traders who are expecting the price to go up. These traders often place their stop-losses just below the low point of the range. When the market goes below the low, it collects liquidity. In simple words, it grabs the orders that are waiting there. Looking at the chart, we can see that EUR/USD has found some support at the 1-hour Fair Value Gap (1H FVG). This area is acting like a short-term floor for the price. If a full 1-hour candle closes below this support area, then the price will likely fall further. In that case, it may reach the bottom of the range and possibly move below it to take out more stop-losses. Why below support? But why would the market go below the low on purpose? The reason is that many retail traders, those are small traders who trade from home, often put their stop-losses just below the recent low. If the market moves there, it activates those stop-losses. These stop-losses are usually sell orders, and when they get triggered, it gives the market extra selling power. After collecting this liquidity, the market often uses the new buying interest (from other traders entering long positions) to push the price back up again. Conclusion So in summary, the EUR/USD is still inside a range. It has already moved above the top to take out stop-losses, and now it might go below the bottom to do the same. After that, there could be a strong move upward, powered by the new liquidity in the market.

USDJPY Buy Setup! OB + 61.8% Fib + Trend Channel ConfluenceUSDJPY | 30-Min Chart – High Probability Buy Setup in Progress USDJPY is currently respecting a bullish market structure within a well-defined ascending trend channel. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders are watching for a precise reaction at the confluence of a key Order Block (OB), Fibonacci retracement levels, and mid-channel support. 🔍 Trade Breakdown: Bullish Market Structure Price has shifted from bearish to bullish after forming a key higher low and continuing with higher highs within the trend channel. The structure is being respected with multiple taps on both upper and lower channel boundaries. Internal Liquidity & Order Flow: Price previously swept sell-side liquidity below the recent swing low and sharply reversed, confirming internal liquidity engineering and institutional involvement. Currently, we’re seeing price stall after rejecting the upper channel and OB zone. A retracement into the discount zone is anticipated before continuation. 🟣 Order Block Zone (OB): 143.032 – 143.137 A clear bullish OB formed after a strong impulsive move, marking the last down candle before the bullish break of structure. Located just above the 61.8% Fibonacci level — strong confluence. 📐 Fibonacci Levels from Last Swing Low to High: 61.8% = 143.137 70.5% = 143.032 Potential reaction zone aligns perfectly with OB + trendline + psychological round level (143.000 area) 📊 Buy Setup Expectation: USDJPY is expected to retrace into the OB/Fib confluence zone before a bullish continuation toward the upper boundary of the trend channel and beyond. 🔵 Projected Path: Price dips into OB → reacts to 61.8–70.5% retracement → bullish reversal → break to fresh highs near 143.510 or higher 🧠 Chart Ninja Entry Plan: 🔹 Entry Zone: 143.032 – 143.137 (OB + 61.8–70.5% Fib) 🔻 SL Below: 143.000 (beneath OB and psychological level) 📈 Target: 143.510 (channel top + previous supply zone) ⚖️ RRR: Approx. 1:3+ — high precision Smart Money entry 💬 Ninja Wisdom: Patience before profit. Wait for price to return to the zone where institutions left footprints — the OB at equilibrium pricing. Combine OB + Fib + channel and you're trading like the banks. Retail buys the breakout. Smart Money buys the pullback. 🥷📚 📍 Save this chart before the setup triggers! 🧠 Do you see the same confluence?

EURCAD's Triangle Hints Drop AheadThe correction looks like a contracting triangle, which is a common pattern in Elliott Wave theory. This kind of triangle usually forms during wave B or wave 4. It includes five smaller waves labeled A, B, C, D, and E, which move within two sloping lines that get closer together. There is also a demand zone marked in red on the chart. Triangles often show a pause in the market before the price continues in the same direction as before. In this case, the triangle suggests that once wave E is complete, the price may drop again to finish wave C. The expected target area is between 1.54900 and 1.54320. This outlook remains valid as long as the price stays within the correction channel.

“Clean SMC Buy Setup | Retest & Rally from Demand Zone”This chart shows a clean Smart Money Concept (SMC) style buy-side setup, targeting a highly respected demand zone and high-odds liquidity grab above. Following a steep bullish impulse, price formed a new market structure shift (BOS) and is now retracing into a crucial entry zone at 3,314.00 – 3,311.50. This area is marked by a hidden order block and imbalance, with high R:R opportunities for buyers. The stop loss is judiciously set below the latest wick at 3,304.40, safeguarding against manipulation while having the best risk exposure. The target one (TP1) is at 3,319.70, corresponding to intraday liquidity and recent supply reaction. The second target (TP2) goes up to 3,325.90, a major high where external liquidity would most likely be absorbed before any major change. This is on the basis of: A confirmed bullish BOS Demand zone + OB alignment Imbalance + inducement layer barely underneath the entry No indication of bearish turn yet We expect retest of demand and a move on to liquidity, given the zone is sustained and no bearish BOS is witnessed. ???? Trade Parameters: Entry Zone: 3,314.00 – 3,311.50 SL: 3,304.40 (below OB) TP1: 3,319.70 TP2: 3,325.90 Bias: Bullish (scalp-to-swing)

GBPUSD Decision Point | Will the Order Block Hold or Fold?GBPUSD | Smart Money Liquidity Trap or Bullish Breakout? Here’s a high-probability play based on Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and channel structure—one of the cleanest SMC setups on cable this week. 📊 1. Market Overview GBPUSD is currently pulling back after a sharp drop, retesting the premium zone Order Block on the H1 timeframe. Structure remains bullish inside the ascending channel, but there’s major indecision here—will it break above the OB, or retrace deeper into the Fair Value Gap zone? 🧠 2. Dual Bias Logic You’ve mapped out two valid SMC scenarios (marked in red & blue arrows): 🔻 Scenario 1: Bearish Trap + Deep Liquidity Grab Price reacts from the Order Block (purple zone) Rejects and breaks down into the Fair Value Gap (FVG) zone near 1.33300 Targets liquidity resting below prior structure 🔺 Scenario 2: Order Block Respect + Long Continuation OB holds, price flips bullish Pushes above 1.35260 for bullish continuation Final target near channel top @ 1.35920–1.36000 zone Both scenarios are textbook Smart Money setups — based on how price reacts at this OB, we’ll get the direction. 🧱 3. Key Zones 🔵 Order Block: 1.3445 – 1.3526 🔴 Fair Value Gap (FVG): 1.3330 – 1.3283 🟢 Target (Bullish): 1.3600 🔻 Target (Bearish): 1.3280 ⚖️ 4. Risk-Reward Potential Whether you go long from the FVG or short from the OB, both have: ✅ Clean entries ✅ Clear invalidation zones ✅ Strong RRR potential (1:3 to 1:4+) 📌 5. Watchlist Note 💡 If price taps into the OB and shows weak momentum, prepare for shorts targeting the FVG 💡 If it holds the OB cleanly with bullish engulfing or BOS (break of structure), ride the long back to channel highs 💬 Call to Action: 📈 Add GBPUSD to your SMC sniper list this week 💬 Comment “OB or FVG? 🤔” if you're waiting to catch the bounce 📌 Save this post for Smart Money reference setups
