How to Find Order Block on Any Forex Pair & Gold (SMC Basics) Order block is easier to find than you think. I am going to reveal 2 simple price models that will help you find strong bullish and bearish order block zones on any Forex pair. Discover how to identify OB and how to draw it properly in Smart Money Concepts SMC trading. To effectively spot Order Block, you will need to learn basic Structure Mapping. To find a bullish order block, you will need to learn by heart a classic bullish trend model. According to the rules, that market is trading in a bullish trend if the price consistently updates Higher High HH and Higher Lows HL. Such a price action confirms an uptrend . The last higher low in that will be your Bullish Order Block. Let me share with you a definition of a bullish order block so you could better understand its deep meaning. Bullish order block is a significant price zone or a level where large market players (banks, institutions, hedge funds) have previously placed a high volume of buy orders, creating a strong imbalance in demand. And what is a proof of this strong demand? A consequent break of structure and a formation of a new higher high demonstrate a clear strength of a bullish wave that was initiated because of the activity of Smart Money. As the market continues updating Higher Highs , remember to update Order Block. It will strictly be based on the LAST Higher Low. Examine a price action on NZDUSD forex pair on a daily time frame. The trend is bullish and our Order Block will be based on the last Higher Low. To properly draw Order Block zone, its low should be based on the lowest low of a Higher Low. Its high should be based on the lowest daily candle close above a low of a Higher Low. We will assume that huge volumes of buying orders will accumulate within that zone. That area will provide a safe zone for us to buy the market from. Alternatively, its violation will signify an important shift in a market sentiment. To find a bearish order block, you will need to understand a classic bearish trend model. According to the rules, that market is trading in a bearish trend if the price consistently updates Lower Lows LL and Lower Highs LH. Such a price action confirms a downtrend . The last lower high in that will be your Bearish Order Block. And here is what exactly is a bearish order block. Bearish order block is a significant price zone or a level where large market players - Smart Money have previously placed a high volume of sell orders, creating a strong imbalance in supply. And what is a proof of this strong supply? A consequent break of structure and a formation of a new lower low demonstrate a clear strength of a bearish wave that was initiated because of the activity of Smart Money. As the market continues updating Lower Lows, remember to update Order Block. It will strictly be based on the LAST Lower High. Please, check a price action on NZDCHF forex pair. The market is trading in a downtrend. Our bearish order block will be based on the last lower high . The high of this zone will be the highest high of the last lower high. Its low will be the highest daily candle close below the last lower high. That zone will be a critical resistance. Large selling volumes will be distributed within. Once that area is tested, we can sell the market from that. Alternatively, its bullish violation will signify a significant shift in the market sentiment. Of course, these 2 models will not reveal all the order block on a price chart, BUT it will show you one of the most significant ones that you can rely on for safe entries for your trades. Just learn a structure mapping in smart money concepts and use that you find powerful order block zones on any forex pair. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

Gold Analysis – 15-Minute Timeframe (September 10 , 2025)Has gold formed a Quasimodo (QM) pattern? We’re not certain yet. If price reacts from the current zone, it may retrace toward the blue area. Otherwise, one more chance for a pullback remains — a rejection from the previous high. If that level fails to hold, gold has potential to rally toward the 3720 zone. ⛔ No entry without confirmation. ✅ Risk management is essential. 📈 Wishing you profitable and disciplined trading.

Bullish vs Bearish OB – What You Must Know👋 Hey traders, great to see you again! Today, I want to remind you of a very important concept: Order Block (OB). It may sound complicated, but it’s actually simple: an OB is the last candle before the market makes a strong move – the footprint left by big money. There are two main types of OB: Bullish OB: the last red candle before price shoots up 🚀 Bearish OB: the last green candle before price drops hard 📉 👉 Practical use: When price returns to an OB zone, that’s often the best place to enter a trade in line with Smart Money, with higher win probability. ⚠️ Remember: OBs are not the “holy grail.” But when combined with support–resistance, trend analysis, and solid risk management, they become one of the most powerful weapons in trading.

Gold Futures Short Into Asia 9/7/25Based on the current Fair Value Gap (FVG), Order Block (OB), and the liquidity resting below, I anticipate gold will retrace toward the Point of Control (POC) identified on the volume profile. This would provide an ideal setup for short-term selling opportunities during tonight’s PM session. My expectation is for price to open lower, push into the 3658 range, and present a bearish entry signal. From there, I’ll be targeting shorts toward the equilibrium of the FVG around 3619, which also aligns closely with previous session highs and lows—adding confluence to the setup.

Gold Analysis – 15-Minute Timeframe (September 2, 2025)Based on a combination of my personal intuition and Smart Money Concepts (SMC), I expect the price to touch 3464 and then move upward. ✅ Reasons for this scenario: Presence of a standard pivot around the 3464 level, which may act as a key support or resistance. Liquidity buildup in that area, increasing the likelihood of inducement, which could fuel the upward move. The magic Fibonacci ratio of 0.618 aligns perfectly with the last swing move, adding confluence to the setup. 📌 Entry Strategy: I plan to enter a long position upon spotting a rejection candle on the 1-minute timeframe. Good luck and stay profitable

H4 Outlook – Gold (XAUUSD) September 2025Hello traders, Gold is pressing into premium territory, with sellers attempting to defend supply while a cluster of EMAs builds strong confluence below. Let’s refine the H4 battle map 👇 🔹 H4 Structural Zones Short-Term Supply (3450–3470) → wick rejection zone, first intraday resistance. Liquidity Magnet (3485–3500) → psychological round number + liquidity pool above highs. Decision Demand (3420–3400) → first intraday support, aligned with EMA 21 (3404). Mid-Term Demand (3380–3360) → valid OB + confluence with EMA 50 (3370), EMA 100 (3363), and EMA 200 (3357). This is the strongest support cluster. Liquidity Sweep Zone (3320–3300) → inducement pocket if deeper retracement occurs. 🔹 EMA Confluence (H4) EMA 5 → 3432 (guiding immediate momentum). EMA 21 → 3404 (Decision Demand). EMA 50 → 3370 (part of Mid-Term Demand). EMA 100 → 3363 (inside Mid-Term Demand). EMA 200 → 3357 (base of Mid-Term Demand). 💡 All three mid/long EMAs overlap between 3370–3357, making 3380–3360 a critical demand block. 🔹 Fibonacci Extensions 1.0 = 3480 → inside Liquidity Magnet. 1.272 = 3520–3530 → bullish expansion target. 1.618 = 3600–3620 → extended projection if bullish momentum holds. 🔹 Scenarios Bullish: Hold above 3420–3400 (Decision Demand) keeps flow bullish. Break 3470 → run into Liquidity Magnet (3485–3500). Above 3500 → Fibo extensions at 3520–3530 then 3600+. Bearish: Rejection from 3450–3470 → pullback to Decision Demand (3420–3400). Break below → direct move into Mid-Term Demand (3380–3360, EMA cluster). If that fails → liquidity sweep at 3320–3300. ✨🔹 H4 Bias Bullish → while holding above 3400. Neutral → ranging between 3450–3470 supply and 3400 demand. Bearish → only if 3360 breaks, exposing 3320 liquidity. My preferred bias is bullish, as long as 3400 holds. Gold is pressing into supply, and a sweep of the liquidity magnet at 3500 looks likely. A bearish shift only comes if 3360 breaks.Summary: On H4, gold is capped by 3450–3470 but strongly supported at 3380–3360, where three EMAs converge. 3500 remains the liquidity magnet, with Fibo extensions at 3520 and 3600. ✨ Stay sharp — gold is sitting between heavy supply above and strong EMA confluence demand below. Patience is key here, wait for confirmations before engaging.

Gold Analysis – 15-Minute Timeframe (August 30, 2025)Considering the RSI is in overbought territory and a clear bearish divergence is present, it seems inevitable for gold to react to the highlighted resistance zone (red area). ✅ While the suggested take-profit (TP) target might be slightly ambitious—and geopolitical developments could prevent price from reaching the blue order block—technically, it's not unlikely for price to resume its bullish movement from that zone. 📌 If a valid setup forms, I’ll definitely enter a short (Sell) position. Good luck and happy trading! 🌟

Bitcoin (BTCUSDT) – Smart Money Update🔔 Following our previous analysis predicting BTC drop to ~112k, we now update the market scenario using Smart Money & Price Action concepts. 📉 As expected, BTC entered a bearish phase after a Break of Structure (BOS) and distribution phase, currently approaching the key liquidity zone 108k–110k. This zone is a strong area for liquidity grab and institutional buy orders. 📌 Probable Scenario: • BTC may touch 108k and then perform a corrective move to 113k–114k. • A breakout above this range (e.g., towards 120k) is not guaranteed and requires reassessment of Price Action at that time. 🔑 Key Points (Smart Money Concepts): • Liquidity below recent lows is still unfilled. • The 108k–110k range acts as a higher timeframe Order Block. • Pullback to 113k–114k could simply be a retracement to the Supply Zone. 📍 Summary: Short-term: higher probability of BTC drop to 108k, followed by a limited recovery to 113k–114k. Further upside continuation or breakout needs reevaluation at that time.

Is GBPUSD Setting up for a Long Swing?Hi Traders! I've been watching this pair. It seems like it could be setting up for a long swing. I would like to see a retest around 1.34900/800, and how it reacts to that area. That'd hit a Daily Order Block. In addition, the weekly made a break of structure, and dipped into a weekly breaker OB, then pushed up. However, the only thing I don't like is it's at a weekly resistance. But, IMO the monthly looks bullish. So, over all I'm bullish on this pair and will plan to swing, I just need my confluences to match up fully before taking this trade. *DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.

SUI – Ready to Drop from the $3.96 Supply WallSUI has rallied right into a key confluence area — the strong supply zone & bearish order block at $3.90–$4.00, which also aligns perfectly with the descending channel’s upper boundary. 📌 Bearish Scenario (preferred): If price shows rejection at this zone and breaks below $3.85, a corrective move toward $3.55–$3.60 is highly probable, with potential extension toward $3.35 demand zone. 📌 Invalidation: A 4H candle close above $4.05 would invalidate the short setup and open the door for a continuation toward $4.25+. 💡 Note: Confluence of channel resistance + supply OB + psychological $4 level makes this a high-probability short area. Watch for lower-timeframe BOS or liquidity sweep before entering.

SUI/USDT – Price Outlook (2H TF)🔍 Updated Aug 4, 2025 | SMC + NeoWave SUI has broken out of the descending channel and is currently holding above the strong demand zone around $3.35–$3.40. This zone overlaps with a bullish order block and prior trendline support. 📌 Bullish Scenario (preferred): Price confirms support → Push toward $3.90–$4.00 supply zone. 📌 Invalidation: A close below $3.35 invalidates the setup and suggests continuation of the correction. 💡 Tip: A breakout of structure (BOS) + mitigation of OB = solid confluence for long setups.

Ripple (XRP/USDT) Technical Analysis – 1H Timeframe🔰 Current Market Context: After breaking below the ascending channel near $3.50, XRP has entered a corrective phase within a descending channel. Price is now hovering around a mid-range resistance zone, and we can outline two key potential scenarios from here: ⸻ 📌 Scenario 1 (Sc1) – Immediate Rejection and Bearish Continuation In this case: • Price gets rejected from the current resistance zone ($3.05–$3.10). • A quick corrective pattern (likely a Zigzag or Flat) plays out. • XRP moves down to test the next demand zone near $2.70–$2.65, breaking below recent swing lows. ✅ This scenario aligns with the current weak structure and visible sell-side pressure. Liquidity above recent highs has likely been swept, creating a setup for continuation downward. ⸻ 📌 Scenario 2 (Sc2) – Extended Correction with a Final Bull Trap In this case: • Price pushes higher toward a deeper resistance zone near $3.30–$3.40. • A liquidity grab above the prior highs triggers a sharper reversal afterward. • The overall structure could form a Diametric or Complex Correction, suggesting a deeper and more time-consuming wave before resuming the bearish trend. ⛔ This scenario requires strength and acceptance above $3.15, and should be treated as an alternative unless proven by price action. ⸻ 🎯 Summary & Trade Strategy: Scenario 1 is currently more probable unless we see a strong break and close above $3.10. Expectation: XRP may head toward the $2.70–$2.65 demand zone if resistance holds. ⚠️ Avoid entering early. Wait for confirmation via internal BOS (Break of Structure), bearish engulfing near OB zones, or signs of rejection with volume at resistance.

AAVE Daily Chart – Key Buy Zone & Two ScenariosAAVE is currently moving within a well-defined ascending channel on the daily timeframe. The last major bullish leg began from the $120 support and surged nearly +180% to a local high near $330. Now, after a 25% pullback, price is consolidating around the midline of the channel near $250. More importantly, there’s a strong bullish order block sitting between $220–230, making this a low-risk buy zone with a stop below the order block. 🔸 Scenario 1 (bullish preferred): Price dips into the $220 OB zone, completes a possible ABC correction, and launches a new bullish leg targeting the channel top above $500. 🔸 Scenario 2 (bearish alternate): If the $220 order block fails, deeper correction could follow toward the channel bottom near $135. ⏳ This is a critical area to watch for reaction – Smart Money will likely show its hand soon. 🔗 Analysis by CryptoPilot

Ethereum: Smart Money Reversal After Stop Hunt?In the previous update, we warned that Ethereum might drop lower before any meaningful bounce — especially if it failed to hold the midline of the ascending channel. That scenario played out exactly as anticipated. 🟡 Price action summary: ETH broke below the midline of the weak ascending channel, hunted the liquidity below recent lows, and tapped into the key bullish order block near $3,490 – $3,520. Price is now reacting to this zone with early signs of a reversal. 📌 Key observation: Midlines of weak or low-momentum channels often act as liquidity traps in smart money models. Buying at these levels can be extremely risky — especially during corrective or distribution phases. ⸻ 📚 Educational Note: Never enter long positions solely at the midline of a weak ascending channel, especially when there’s a high probability of liquidity sweep below. Smart entries usually occur at order blocks formed after stop hunts. ⸻ 🎯 Next steps: Wait for confirmation (such as internal BOS or FVG closure) before entering longs. The structure suggests a potential move back toward the upper boundary of the channel if this OB holds. ⸻ 🔗 Save this analysis and share it with fellow traders. 💬 Thoughts?
