STOP HUNTING- Institutional trading,beat the banks!. AUD/CAD-1hrAs we can see the black area indicates a potential zone where retail traders are tricked into going long by the illusion of fake support. Large institutions and experienced traders know most novices will have their stop losses just below this level. Institutions and banks manipulate these levels and take out stop losses to gain liquidity in the market. Once a stop hunt has occurred we enter a trade in the direction that we are fundamentally inclined to do so.

Stop-Hunt and Reversal on GBPJPYPrimary Scenario: Stop-Hunt and Reversal Upward Stop-Hunt: GBPJPY may spike up briefly to 199.50–200.00 to trigger stops placed by retail traders and trap late buyers. This move would give institutions a liquidity pool to establish or increase short positions at higher prices. Reversal from Stophunt Zone: After this upward spike, we’re likely to see a sharp reversal, with GBPJPY moving lower as GBP weakens and JPY starts to strengthen. The reversal could be swift as trapped retail longs get squeezed out. Downside Target: 197.50–197.80 Zone Once the reversal begins, GBPJPY is likely to move towards the Gap/Take-Profit Zone around 197.50–197.80. This area aligns with the next support level and would be a logical first target for a short position. If selling momentum is strong and JPY continues to strengthen, GBPJPY could even test lower levels, potentially falling toward the bottom of the ascending channel or below. The combination of COT data (indicating institutional short positioning on GBP and long positioning on JPY) with this technical setup suggests a high probability of a GBPJPY pullback. Watch for an initial stop-hunt spike toward 199.50–200.00, followed by a reversal targeting the 197.50–197.80 zone as the first area for profit-taking.

Stop Hunting DayToday is stop hunting day. Smart money and market makers who have to pay profits later will be hunting for your stops. This is rightaway a positive signal for the long awaited UJ Seasonality drop. Previous years we would see similar activity and I posted an idea on this back then. That occurence itself was also a repeated pattern and it can take up to 24 hours. This time I expect it to last at least until the NFP later today, also with the aid of USD bullish sentiment building up towards the NFP. Worst case scenario it lasts until Tuesday or even keeps going on for another couple of weeks. All depending on GBP strength and news around Brexit. Good article on Stop Hunting on Investopedia: www.investopedia.com " Although it may have negative connotations to some readers, stop hunting is a legitimate form of trading. It is nothing more than the art of flushing the losing players out of the market ."
