S2D FLIPHello traders
-In this example, we will explain how to trade the S2D pattern.
-S2D is a pattern in which the supply zone loses control, and the new demand zone takes control.
- In the next steps, we will break down the example we have here in detail.
1) The price is in a downtrend, and demand has full control.
2) Then we see a reaction from the demand zone to HTF, after the reaction, the price starts bullish.
3) The price breaks the supply zone and continues impulsively towards the uptrend. When the price breaks supply, we can expect a change in direction.
4) Momentum is present, and we clearly see that the price has broken the structure and wants to change direction.
5) We can see a new demand zone now taking complete control, and the price continues to be bullish.

Inducement Hello traders
-In this example, we will explain what INDUCEMENT is.
-Inducement is a trap for traders left by big boys in the markets to take your money.
-The move is designed to first take out early sellers, then take retail pattern traders, then break out and break and retest traders together in one move.
-The beauty of it is that everybody thinks they win, but in reality, the big boys go home with your money.
-Look at this example carefully and next time you see it play out on the chart, look at how you can profit from it instead of getting your SL hit.
Example:
1) Here, we see that the price is in a downtrend
2) Then, at the last BOS, the price barely breaks through the low and makes a trap for retail traders, breakout and retest traders, etc.
3) As you can see, this was an obvious fakeout and trap for other traders
4) In the end, the price picked up all SL, and came to our entry, from where it starts to move in our direction.
-And remember, you want to swim with the whales and follow them, not go against them.

Game Of LiquidityHello traders
-Today we will talk about liquidity and its role.
What is liquidity?
-We will try to explain you as simple as possible what liquidity is and what you should be looking for when you want to spot it.
-There is a theory on the FX markets that the Big institutions (Smart money) are always trying to trap us and take our Stop losses.
-Retail education as we all know is based on patterns (double top,double bottom, trendlines, supp res zones etc...
-As new traders come fresh on the markets they can be easily manipulated and taken away from their money because they are 'easy pray for big boys.
-If you want to understand liquidity as simple as possible - when there is a trend line, double top pattern, there are retail stop losses and there is liquidity to be taken.
Example:
1) In this example, we see that the price is moving in a downtrend
2) Then the price slows down with momentum and starts to make a lot of liquidity.
3) We can see liquidity in the form of a trendline, double tops, etc.
4) A lot of retail traders lose their money here, while we patiently wait for our opportunity.
5) Our entry is at the strong supply zone, and the price reaches it when it picks up all SL of retail traders.
6) At the end, we see a liquidity sweep that mostly happens in one move, and here we open our position.
-Remember: This is the cat and mouse game. In order for one person to win someone else needs to take the loss. So our question is
Are you a cat or a mouse?

Potential Sell Trade for GBPAUDHere's one of the trades that I really like
We see A nice consolidation and a confluence between the point of Control & the supply area
after that consolidation we can see an expansion to downside and a retracement that gonna give us an opportunity to go short
Will wait for confirmations on LTF to enter after we reach the supply zone
Beautiful RR on this swing trade for EURCADWe had good momentum to the downside from the Supply area marked in the chart creating an Imbalance
After multiple BOS, Price retraced, filling imbalance and taking out all the liquidity from early sellers
Waiting for LTF confirmations to enter sell position
NASDAQ100 STBNASDAQ100 reaches a SELL ORDER BLOCK in the area of 11200, of which there’s an expectation of NASDAQ100 to Sell to areas of 11700 in order to create liquidity for buying momentum to be triggered, and overpass the supply zone , SELL SHORT TERM TO BUY LONG TERM (STB=Sell To Buy) bias this week
BTC next possible swings - bullish for the momentI'm checking here the SMC levels and since the USD (DXY) is having a correction that it is likely to go deeper, BTC and all crypto assets can experience a small bull run.
However you must be aware that this is only temporal and not a long bull run that will take BTC "to the moon" (that might happen later :) ).
How high will BTC get (40k or 50k)? Well, that depends on how deep the DXY goes.
Best luck and
Trade safely.
