Mastering Liquidity Dynamics: Understand the Dynamic True ValueDear Reader, Thank you for reading—your time is valuable. Use the chart's zoom-in/out (-/+) function for better visibility. This chart captures a large sample for your evaluation. Below is the manual detailing the Smart Farmer System —a Dynamic True Value framework derived from real-time data to anticipate market intent and liquidity behavior . If this resonates with you, drop a comment below— constructive insights are always welcome . The Dynamic True Value - a Smart Farmer System: Terminology and Mechanics : For now, I have firmed up POC - Price of Control, VAP - Value Average Pricing, SULB - Sell Upper Limit Bound, BLLB - Buy Lower Limit Bound. Mechanic: POC - Where fair value price dynamic is read. VAP - Trading above indicates bullish sentiment of the cycle, and the opposite for bearish sentiment. A crossed over of: Grey POC above Green VAP - Signaling distribution, accumulation, consolidation, build-ups, correction, retracement . Green VAP above Grey POC - Bullish strength and momentum consistency . Pink VAP above Black POC - Bearish strength and momentum consistency . Flip of Pink VAP to Green VAP - Sentiment flips from bear to bull, and the same goes for green flip to pink showing bull to bear. Validation of entry signals requires: Signal's candle must close past the opposite side of POC – flip sentiment . The confirmation candle (is the closed next candle immediately after entry signal candle) must continue closed past the POC – maintain sentiment . The progress candle (is the next candle closed right after the Confirmation Candle) shows traction, momentum build-up, and volume consistency . Hint of invalidation: Signal's candle is considered void if the next candle prints a new entry signal in the opposite direction. This often signals accumulation, sideways movement, build-up, uncertainty, or swings in range . The immediate next candle closed past POC to the opposite side. What to understand about Liquidity Trap, SULB, and BLLB: Liquidity traps Often occur at the recent/previous flatlines of Dynamic True Value (POC, VAP, SULB, BLLB) . It is worth paying attention to the market’s intent and institutional positioning. Signs of exhaustion, absorption, inducement, offloading, and accumulation are visible in the M1 (one-minute) TF, with significant confluence near the previous/recent flatlines of Dynamic True Value in the higher/macro-TFs. An Anchored VWAP tool can be helpful for filtering noise in the market. This tool can be found in the drawing tab in the TradingView platform. SULB Details the dynamic of upper resistance where Bears remain in control below the dynamic level. Below this limit bound (LB) , bears show strength – bear sentiment . A converging price toward this LB indicates bulls are present. Moving past this LB (a candle closed above) and successfully RETESTING newly formed support indicates a confirmed directional shift . Followed by printing a new BLLB in the next following candles with price continuing to rise above this failed SULB. A rejection below LB (a rejection/exhausted candle closed below LB) and successful RETEST reaffirms the resistance holds , indicating downside continuation . BLLB Details the dynamic of lower support where Bulls remain in control above the dynamic level. Above this LB, bulls show strength – bull sentiment . A converging price toward this LB signifies bears are present. Moving past this LB (a candle closed below) and successfully RETESTING newly formed resistance indicates a confirmed directional shift . Followed by printing a new SULB in the next following candles with price continuing to push lower below this failed BLLB. A rejection above LB (a rejection/exhausted candle closed above LB) and successful RETEST reaffirms the support holds , indicating upward continuation . Important Notes: Select preferred Entry’s Signal TF (ex. M3 TF, M5 TF for scalping strategy, M15 for intraday/daily strategy, 4H TF for day-to-weekly strategy, etc.). Always refer to the selected Entry’s TF for trading progress. Anticipate TP and SL by watching the range in this TF. Non-entry TFs are not for entry purposes. These multi-TFs are used for measuring strength, momentum, liquidity, positioning, structure – The market intends . The Non-entry TF is used to anticipate institutional executions and liquidity pools. These criteria MUST BE MET. A failed criterion suggests vague execution. Be patient and wait for clear validations. Institutions excel in creating illusions. SFS is designed to stand ready, calm, and execute with Clarity. SFS cuts through noise, distraction, and stays independent of NEWS, GEOPOLITIC, RUMORS, and herd mentality because all these are designed to mislead retail traders into institutional traps. When we see such ambiguity against the criteria, we know not to fall into the TRAP and become the liquidity FUEL. Stay sharp, only respond when signals are firmed. SFS is designed to counter Smart Money capitalism. It is about time to level the playing field.

EURUSD| Buy Flow In PlayGot price respecting my top-down flow — 4H to 5M is in full alignment right now. We swept key liquidity levels and price held structure clean, giving me reason to look for a buy continuation. Could’ve posted a more detailed breakdown (order blocks, FVGs, etc.), but I’ll save that sauce for another time. Just curious what y’all see here — feel free to share your take on this play. I’m always open to sharp minds tapping in. Let’s see how this unfolds. 🧠💧 #EURUSD #SmartMoneyConcepts #LiquiditySweep #PriceActionTrading #TopDownAnalysis #InducementKing Bless Trading!

USDCAD - Short trade continuationWas triggered in to this on Friday As we can see we had a pool of liquidity to the left. We then had the news release of NFP. We were tagged in and then now we are looking to take price to the previous structure lows. As you can also see we took a lovely trade last week on USDCAD to the downside. I am still holding 0.5% of that position alongside the current one we have just been tagged into. Very nice potential for continuation to the downside. If you have any questions for me give me a message

GBPUSD - Very InterestingWith NFP creating massive volatility on Friday this pair is a bit messy. We have however created an internal structure shift on the 15min timeframe to the downside lower the HTF order flow still being bullish This could be a case of get what we can to the downside until we hit the HTF demand and look to get long. As you can see I am already trying to forecast ahead of what could potentially happen with this pair as when it gets to certain levels and there are reactions it will come as no surprise. If I can be of assistance to anybody please don't hesitate to message.

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.

AJA'S Gold view... Daily Timeframe Analysis.Gold has been on a correction spree now, with short term buys. On the monthly timeframe, Gold is completely OVERSOLD. From my analysis on the daily timeframe, the bear power is more, we'll keep selling to our poi, which is our order block at 3025-2975. Gold needs to make a huge correction by coming down past the inducement point at 3122 before hitting the order block at that BOS. Then we'll see if the bearish market will continue, or the bull will take power. What do you think about this analysis?

Bitcoin analysis based on market liquidity and M2 money supply This trade enters Bitcoin in the $101,500–$102,200 zone, aiming to capture a high-probability bounce from a dense liquidity pocket formed by recent long liquidations. This region has historically acted as a bull market reaccumulation zone, typically holding after 5–8% drawdowns during major trend continuations. The trade is structured to ride a macro continuation leg toward $125,000, targeting the next major expansion phase driven by both short squeezes (clustered above $106K) and a broader surge in demand following increasing M2 money supply and institutional inflows. The stop-loss is placed at $97,000, a deliberate distance below local support but above the deeper liquidity sweep zone at $89K–$92K. That level is unlikely to be reached unless the market undergoes a full liquidation cascade, which would likely bypass $97K altogether in a fast move. This stop protects against structural failure while avoiding premature exits in normal volatility. The setup is designed for maximum reward with acceptable risk, offering a risk-reward ratio of over 4:1, and aligns with the thesis that Bitcoin is entering its final acceleration phase toward a new macro high.

Follow the Flow: Trading with Liquidity ZonesLiquidity is where the market breathes. The Liquidity Zones indicator by BigBeluga helps traders visualize where large players may be hiding orders—revealing the zones where price is most likely to react, reverse, or accelerate. Let’s break down how this tool works, how we use it at Xuantify, and how you can integrate it into your own strategy. 🔍 What Is the Liquidity Zones Indicator? This open-source tool identifies pivot highs and lows filtered by volume strength and plots them as liquidity zones —highlighting areas where buy/sell orders are likely to accumulate. Key Features: Volume-filtered pivot detection (Low, Mid, High) Dynamic or static liquidity zone boxes Color intensity based on volume strength Liquidity grab detection with visual cues These zones act as magnets for price , helping traders anticipate where reactions, reversals, or stop hunts may occur. 🧠 How We Use It at Xuantify We use Liquidity Zones as a contextual map for structure and execution. 1. Entry & Exit Planning We align entries near untested liquidity zones and use them as targets for exits—especially when confirmed by structure or momentum. 2. Liquidity Grab Detection When price pierces a zone and reverses, it often signals a liquidity sweep . We use this as a trigger for reversal setups. 3. Volume Context Zones with higher volume intensity are prioritized. These are more likely to attract institutional activity and generate stronger reactions. 🧭 Dynamic vs. Static Zones The indicator offers both dynamic and static zone modes: Dynamic : Box height adjusts based on normalized volume, showing how much liquidity is likely present. Static : Consistent box size for cleaner visuals and easier backtesting. Why this matters: Dynamic zones reflect real-time volume strength Static zones offer simplicity and clarity Both modes help visualize where price is likely to “grab” liquidity ⚙️ Settings That Matter To get the most out of this tool, we recommend: Volume Strength = Mid or High for cleaner zones Enable Dynamic Mode when trading volatile assets Use Color Intensity to quickly spot high-liquidity areas 🔗 Best Combinations with This Indicator We pair Liquidity Zones with: Market Structure Tools – BOS/CHOCH for context Momentum Indicators – Like RSI or MACD for confirmation Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) – For precision entries near liquidity This layered approach helps us trade into liquidity , not against it. ⚠️ What to Watch Out For Liquidity zones are not signals —they’re context . In fast-moving or low-volume markets, price may ignore zones or overshoot them. Always combine with structure and confirmation. 🔁 Repainting Behavior The Liquidity Zones indicator is designed to be non-repainting . However, due to waiting for pivot confirmation, the zones are plotted in hindsight. This makes it suitable for real-time execution . ⏳ Lagging or Leading? This tool is partially lagging —it waits for pivot confirmation and volume validation before plotting a zone. However, once plotted, these zones often act as leading levels , helping traders anticipate where price may react next. 🚀 Final Thoughts The Liquidity Zones indicator by BigBeluga is a powerful visual tool for traders who want to understand where the market is likely to move—not just where it’s been. Whether you’re trading reversals, breakouts, or mean reversion, this tool helps you stay aligned with the market’s hidden intent. Add it to your chart, test it, and see how it sharpens your edge.

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 Rocket Fuel Loading.... Get ReadyBTC looking like it's about to lift off from that internal order flow zone. I keep it clean, pretty, and systematic - and that's exactly how I plan to buy up this next key area. Scalpers, you already know - LTF confirmations are whispering bullish. Day traders, this might be the last good push before we either reverse or break the whole zone down. Me? I'm watching for that 5M CHoCH to give me the green light. When it flips - I flip. Until then, patience. Trade with precision. Keep it SMC. #BTC #SmartMoneyConcepts #OrderFlow #InducementsHunter #5MCHoCH #RocketReady Bless Trading!
