Liquidity Zones Explained: Where Smart Money GoesMarkets don’t move randomly. Every candle, spike, or reversal happens for a reason and that reason is liquidity. Liquidity is what fuels price movement. It’s where buy and sell orders are concentrated, and where large players execute positions without showing their hand. Understanding where liquidity lies gives traders a major advantage, because price doesn’t move to levels by accident. It moves there to fill orders. Liquidity represents the pool of resting orders waiting to be filled — stop losses, pending buys, or sells. When price reaches these areas, volume spikes, and the market finds enough counterparties for large players to enter or exit positions. Liquidity isn’t just numbers on the book. It’s the invisible map of trader behavior: – Stops above highs (where breakout traders get trapped) – Stops below lows (where panic selling occurs) – Consolidation zones (where both sides accumulate orders) These areas become magnets for price movement. When you see sharp wicks above or below key levels, it’s often not manipulation — it’s collection. Smart money drives price into these zones to trigger stop losses and capture liquidity before reversing in the true direction. The move looks random, but it’s calculated. The goal is to fill large positions efficiently, using retail orders as exit liquidity. Instead of chasing price, learn to wait for liquidity grabs. The simplest method is to mark obvious highs and lows and observe how price reacts when those levels are taken. If price breaks a key high but fails to continue — and momentum shifts back down — it’s often a sign of a liquidity sweep, not a breakout. These moments reveal where the real players are positioning themselves. Trading liquidity is about reaction, not prediction. Liquidity zones reveal where traders are trapped and where professionals engage. If you stop focusing on where price is and start paying attention to why it moves there, you’ll see the market with far more clarity.

USOIL: Waiting for a liquidity sweep on the Daily timeframeIn my previous analyses on USOIL, including the fundamental outlook, price has been trending lower within a narrow channel between $70 and $50. I’m looking for a buy opportunity on higher timeframes after a large liquidity sweep. Weekly Outlook: * Trend: assessed using at least three trend indicators, with market structure as the primary guide. ** Weak or Reversal Signals: Assessed based on one of our criteria for trend reversal signals. *** Support/Resistance: Selected from multiple factors – static (Swing High, Swing Low, etc.), dynamic (EMA, MA, etc.), psychological (Fibonacci, RSI, etc.) – and determined based on the trader’s discretion. **** Our advice takes into account all factors, including both fundamental and technical analysis. It is not intended as a profit target. We hope it can serve as a reference to help you trade more effectively.

Nzd/Usd - Bullish Reversal After Liquidity SweepLiquidity Sweep observed below the recent weak low, indicating a potential stop-hunt and smart money accumulation. Break of Structure (BOS) and multiple Change of Character (CHoCH) signals suggest a shift from bearish to bullish market structure. Price has shown a bullish CHoCH after the liquidity sweep, aligning with a potential trend reversal. Entry: Entry Zone: ~0.57462 (Marked with blue arrow) Price has just broken above the minor range high, confirming bullish intent. Targets: TP1: ~0.57790 – Aligns with the nearest resistance zone. TP2: ~0.58090 – Retest of a strong high and major resistance zone. Stop Loss Suggestion: Below the swept liquidity low, ideally under 0.57300 (weak low), to protect against a deeper pullback. Key Concepts Highlighted: CHoCH (Change of Character) – Shift from bearish to bullish trend. BOS (Break of Structure) – Confirmation of direction change. Liquidity Sweep – Possible smart money move to trap sellers. Resistance Zones – Marked areas for potential profit-taking. Bullish Bias Justification: Price action has swept liquidity, formed a higher low, and broken previous lower highs. CHoCH confirms shift in momentum; likely targets are previous supply zones (TP1 & TP2). Favoring long setups while structure remains bullish above weak low.

sept 29: 1 loss, 2 winssept 29: 1 loss, 2 wins I saw that price tapped the DAY FVG + EQH up there and has downtrended massively, so I looked for shorts. Applied my AVWAPS, and my confluence filters(Orderflow+sweep+div+FVG), which was favorable so I entered. I kinda rushed into the first trade because I woke up late, but basically would have also won there if I just plotted the AVWAP first(yeah), because if i did plot my AVWAP, I would have seen that price has a few more pips before hitting the AVWAP line, so I could have put my entry higher and my stoploss higher. Well I just moved my SL on the first trade, and then re-entered twice after it "respected" the AVWAP (plotted from the DAY FVG STING). Standard 10TP5SL, and it won twice. so, good day I guess.

SEPT 24: SUBOPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY?SEPT 24: SUBOPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY? Well, price came off of monthly fvg and daily eqh last time and has recently took a noseddive so ORDERFLOW was bearish. 1H BULLISH DIV happened though and the ORB was below price once I looked at the charts, so it might reverse? But at the same time price is reacting off of the 15min fvg + sr flip so let's see if the bullish reversal happens or it comes running back down again. kinda 50/50 on this one, because price is kinda at the middle between the bullish reversal and the bearish orderflow and confluences. so we'll see if it wins, i guess.

Perfect Setup AnatomyPERFECT SETUP ANATOMY: Sept 17, 2025 OBVIOUS LIQUIDITY SWEEP(SSL) AREA, OF COURSE PRICE WILL TAKE IT OUT LOL. i THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING AN ENTRY HERE JUST IN CASE MY INITIAL FVA RESPECT ENTRY WAS TAKEN OUT, BUT I WAS OFF THE PC BY THAT TIME SO I DIDN'T. WELL, THERE WAS A BULLISH DIV + SWEEP + FVA RESPECT AT THIS POINT, SO I DID WHAT ANY SANE PERSON WOULD DO, RE-ENTER. Price moved as follows: 1.) TRENDLINE LIQUIDITY GATHERING 2.) ACCUMULATION BEFORE TRENDLINE BREAKOUT. This is where sweep+div+cisd+fvg+fva happened. "PDA accumulation" 3.) FVA RESPECT/RE-TEST 4.) PRICE HITS ORIGINAL DAY EQH TARGET 5.) I SHOULD HAVE PUT THIS ON 1:3RR, BUT I'M GOING TO TRY 1:1RR FIRST (TO INCREASE WINRATE = INCREASE CONFIDENCE IN THE STRATEGY), WITH A TRAILING STOP THAT STARTS AT 1.5RR USING MT5. LOGIC IS, SO IT FULL TPs AT 1RR MINIMUM, AND RIDE THE TREND IF THE PRICE RUNS FARTHER. - so, here's what's required again for a trade to start being considered: 0. HTF Target (EQH/EQL) + HTF OF Alignment 1. Previous Orderflow Liquidity Sweep 2. Accumulation of BUY/SELL Arguments (Trendline Liquidity & FVA = recent sweep+div+CISD+FVG) / PDA ACCUMULATION 3. Respect of FVA 4. Entry Bias - uptrend, day eqh Narrative - sting into htf fvg = ltf ssl Context - ssl to eqh Entry - fva respect & retest

Swing Setup: (1D+4H) POI + 5min DIVERGENCE + FVA RESPECT So I did my top down analysis, saw a 1D FVG and price respected it, so I looked for divergences and i found it on the 5min, saw price made an FVA and displaced through it so I decided it was time to enter that because a 4H and 1D FVG is a strong POI, and the fact that price did not burst through it meant it was getting respected. So I think it was at this time that I saw the FVA has formed and has been respected so I looked for an entry. For the actual entry, I think there was a small bullish FVG there above the FVA so I took that. Since price was at a 1D + 4H FVG, I considered it as the Internal Range Liquidity(IRL) and therefore targeted the External Range Liquidity (ERL). I put my SL quite far, at the bottom of this sting into the FVG. It got me 2.8RR I think, and that's good enough. I made this trade on friday, and it only resolved the next trading day, which was monday. TL;DR, 4H and above POI(IRL), once you see it getting respected (with an FVA + FVG), take it as a sign, enter without hesitation, and target the ERL.

ETH | #4h #short — Range High Sweep & Short SetupScenario: ETH swept the range high at $3,860, trapping late buyers and triggering stops. Watching for a retest of this level — if it holds as resistance and we see rejection, that’s a short trigger. Target: Main target is the 1D FVG at $3,457–$3,477. Possible extension: sweep of range low if selling accelerates. Why: Failed breakout setups are classic mean reversion triggers, especially when supported by a visible liquidity pool (FVG) below. Plan: Wait for a retest and rejection to confirm short. Partial TP at the FVG zone, manage risk above the sweep high.

HYPE | Sweep & Reclaim SetupPlan: Watching for a sweep into the blue H4 Untapped Demand zone, then a reclaim of 41.237 (green line) to add longs. Ideal target: new ATH and 55 extension. If the blue zone fails or we can't reclaim 41.237, risk-off mode: equal lows at 30.6 could be the draw. Reasoning: A sweep into demand would reset local liquidity and trap late shorts. Reclaiming 41.237 confirms a shift in momentum and invalidates the breakdown. Structure is bullish above 41.237; below, risk increases for deeper downside.

GBPUSD short re-entryGBPUSD – I Got Clipped. Now I’m Coming Back With Intent. 📅 Monday | June 23, 2025 Yes — I got stopped out. That’s execution, not failure. Clean sweep of Asia’s high. Textbook. Liquidity taken. Weak hands shaken. Now the real move can begin. 🔁 This 1H close is my greenlight for re-entry. I don’t hesitate when the market gives me the same setup twice — It’s still: ✅ Downtrend dominant ✅ Upthrust confirmed ✅ Sellers stepping back in ✅ Price under key rejection zone If this bar closes bearish, I’m short again — this time with full intent. 📉 Target: 3r+ and beyond 🔥 London

EUR/USD - Daily highs taken, now what?Introduction The EUR/USD made a strong move higher today, establishing a clear uptrend on the 4-hour chart. With this latest push, it swept the daily liquidity above the previous high. The question now is whether the EUR/USD will continue moving higher or if there are opportunities for long entries at lower levels. Liquidity Sweep EUR/USD has taken out liquidity above the daily highs, where many stop losses are typically positioned. These stops have now been removed from the market. This area could potentially act as a support and resistance flip. However, if we see a 4-hour candle close below the previous daily high, further downside becomes likely. Where Can We Look for Buys? During the recent 4-hour move higher, significant progress was made. This upward movement created a daily Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $1.149 and $1.145. This FVG aligns perfectly with the golden pocket Fibonacci level, drawn from the swing low to the swing high. As a result, this zone forms a strong area of confluence for potential buy positions to target a retest of the highs. Conclusion Although we are currently breaking above the previous high, this move has yet to be confirmed as sustainable. Holding above this level is crucial. If a 4-hour candle closes below the previous high, it becomes likely that we will revisit the daily FVG and golden pocket Fibonacci zone.
