EUR/USD Is Walking Into a Trap: Liquidity Sweep is coming!Price Action & Structure The current structure shows a corrective rally unfolding within an ascending channel (green dashed lines). Price action is printing higher highs without fresh momentum, a typical sign of “distribution during a pullback.” The market is now trading in the upper half of the channel, approaching a daily premium zone just below 1.1700–1.1750. Daily RSI sits around 60–65, which aligns with an extended pullback, not the beginning of a true bullish trend. COT Analysis EUR Futures (CME) Large speculators are increasing shorts more aggressively than longs → bearish reading on the euro. Commercials Commercial traders are adding longs while reducing shorts. → This is classic hedging behavior during extended bullish corrections. USD Index COT Non-Commercial: Positioning shows speculators are covering USD longs, but not turning bullish on the euro. This suggests a temporary squeeze, not a structural trend reversal. Retail Sentiment 70% SHORT EUR/USD 30% LONG Retail traders are heavily short and consistently squeezed during upside moves. This is a classic setup for a fake bullish rally into premium zones, after which larger players typically reverse price. EUR/USD Seasonality (December) December is statistically bullish, with average performance between +0.8% and +1.4%. Seasonal curves show a rise into mid/late December, followed by: → a pullback near month-end → a bearish setup after January 3rd (typical early-year USD strength) Thus, the current rally aligns perfectly with seasonality: December rally → distribution → January drop. Conclusion EUR/USD is completing a structural bullish pullback, not forming a new bullish trend. The move toward 1.1700–1.1750 looks like: ✔️ a liquidity grab ✔️ seasonal pump ✔️ exhaustion before reversal

CHFPLN preparing a move or just testing everyone patienceCHFPLN continues to trade inside a developing upward structure after breaking out of a wide descending channel. The current pullback has brought the pair into the demand zone between 4.48 and 4.44 which aligns with the Fibonacci correction range at 0.5 and 0.618. Weekly oscillator divergence signals active buyers defending the lower boundary of the structure. The horizontal level at 4.50 also acts as support increasing the probability of a local reversal. As long as price holds above 4.44 the bullish continuation scenario remains valid. The main target is located near 4.86 which corresponds to the key resistance of the previous pivot. A breakdown of 4.44 may trigger a deeper correction however current price behavior and buyer reaction still favor a recovery. The market may pretend nothing is happening yet demand zones rarely forget what they are designed to do.

Why Gold Hits Your SL🌟 Why Gold Hits Your SL 😭💛📈 Gold is one of the most aggressive and volatile assets in the market — and if you’ve ever wondered “Why does gold ALWAYS hit my stop-loss before moving in my direction?”, this post explains the real reason. Let’s break it down clearly 👇 🔶 1. Gold Loves Liquidity — Not Levels 💦💰 Gold doesn’t move based on your support/resistance lines. It moves based on liquidity, meaning: Where traders place stop-losses ❌ Where pending orders sit 🎯 Where large institutions want to fill positions 🏦 Your SL is simply sitting where everyone else puts theirs, which makes it prime liquidity. 🔶 2. XAUUSD Spikes Are Designed to Collect Orders ⚡💥 Gold often creates sudden: Wicks Fake breakouts Quick pumps or dumps Sharp candle spikes These moves are NOT random — they’re engineered to: 🔸 Trigger stop-losses 🔸 Activate pending buy/sell orders 🔸 Grab liquidity before the real move This is why your SL gets hit by $1–$3 before price completely reverses. 🔶 3. Gold Moves Session-by-Session 🕒🌍 Gold behaves differently depending on the time of day: Asia session → Slow, tight range London session → First big manipulation New York session → Volatility explosion + real direction Most SL hunts take place when London opens or when NY session begins ⚠️🔥 🔶 4. Clean Highs & Lows = SL Magnets 🧲📌 Gold LOVES attacking: Previous day’s high/low Asian range high/low London session extremes Double tops & bottoms Round numbers (like 4000 / 4050 / 4100) These areas hold thousands of stop-losses. So before gold takes a real direction — it sweeps them first. 🏹😈 🔶 5. The Classic Gold Pattern: Trap → Reversal → Expansion 🔁🚀 Most XAUUSD moves follow this sequence: 1️⃣ Sweep liquidity 😭 2️⃣ Fake breakout 😈 3️⃣ Sharp rejection 👋 4️⃣ Real trend begins 🚀 If you’ve ever seen price: Break a level Wick hard Then reverse the entire move That’s gold performing a liquidity grab. 🔶 6. How To Avoid Getting Stopped Out ✔️ Here’s what actually helps: 🌟 A. Don’t put SL exactly at obvious levels Move it beyond common liquidity zones. 🌟 B. Wait for the sweep before entering Let gold perform the trap first. 🌟 C. Trade reaction — not prediction Look for re-entry after the wick forms. 🌟 D. Use sessions to your advantage Avoid placing SL right before London/NY opens. 🌟 Final Words Gold isn’t hunting you — it’s hunting liquidity. Your job is simple: 👉 Stop placing stops where everyone else does 👉 Let gold sweep liquidity first 👉 Then catch the real move Trade smarter, not tighter. 💛⚡
