Fvg

ICT IMBALANCE / FVG / LIQUIDITY VOIDLiquidity void, Fair Value Gap, Imbalance... These terms are interchangeable. As a Charter Member ill tell you what I've shown here, is a basic depiction, as I got asked a question on what is an imbalance? An imbalance, is an imbalance in price, where price has NOT efficiently delivered orders in the market, price will like to revisit these areas, of imbalance, as seen here. The diagram on the left depicts the ideal model of what an imbalance is, the chart on the right is an in time example. if you notice one of these getting filled, at a place where you are bearish/bullish... well.... there is your trade!

Crypto has had the most bullish breakout this yearBitcoin. Crypto bull market. I think I've said these words pretty much lately, especially since many different approaches (especially on-chain, where I've shown my most biased analysis) have been making confluence on the same bullish direction. And the time has come. We have finally broken the structure by going closing the daily, as well as the weekly, above $46k. What did we break exactly? Let's talk a bit more about the chart itself. We broke out from the all-time high anchored VWAP and the resistance that we formed at $45-46k (which also was a fair value gap - or FVG). My opinion on the mid term implies a continuation of the current trend until around $49-50k (basically trap every retail trader), and then retest the level we just went above. After this correction, we should have the enough space to set a higher high (at around $57k, where the FVG makes confluence with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement). So, is a bull market like late 2020 - early 2021 coming? However, I'm still not convinced about a new all-time high. I think that Bitcoin is maturing: in previous cycles (2018 and 2014) we retraced about 80%. Not even comparable to the retrace we've had since the current record price: only around 50%. And why am I saying this? Exactly for that reason. We might start a long consolidation period, make sure we don't go below the last summer lows, $28k. On the other side, this bear market (I don't even know if I should call it a bear market) could extend until $20k, but, with the same arguments I can say that this is really unlikely. Even if we reach those prices, we'd have a generational opportunity to buy. Lastly, what I'm doing right now is take some profits from the longs that I've opened previously. I'll wait for that $49-50k target to open some shorts (short term), and just ride the move on spot. I really hope that you liked the post, as it took me a while to write it. Have a good week!

Notes of $MNQ_F 3/22 #ICT for reference 9.6:1 R/R tradeHere is now my annotated chart of $MNQ_F from 3/22 with some extra descriptions. Can only share the 15min chart here, so can' go into a lower timeframe like the 5min one on public TV ideas. There is a 60min FVG right before market open from Overnight session 3:00AM -> 5:00AM, the grey box. The little red triangle on the 5:00AM candle is an ITH (also “King High”, “Key High”), which is violated to the upside from the 9:00 candle (marked that with a 💡). That is our Imbalance! = Bullish Market Structure Shift (MSS) Now we can start to dig deeper into lower time frames. This info from here is all in the ICT videos Episode 1-5 and 12/13. The 5min Orderblock in purple is from the lower timeframe (I cannot show this here), that is not visible in the 15min. But you could have also chosen the last red down-close candle as an entry signal on the 15min chart. The usage of these Fib levels is shown in ICT Episode 12 for reference. The big grey zone is the 60min FVG from above, everything else mentioned above is also there. Red Triangle Red 💡 for marking the Bullish MSS Orderblock purple zone Additonal 5min FVG, not needed As we know from the videos, Orderblocks are the real trigger. I don’t think I need to write more about the entry trigger, price drops into the 5min Orderblock and 🧨 explodes up. Now, remember the Market Structure Levels from the 15min chart, they are also shown here. ICT talks about a -1.5 as profit level as ideal (Watch Episode 12! :-) ) and now watch where price trades into. 👀 Entry is right at the top of the 5min Orderblock (Watch Episode 12!), Stop gets right below the Orderblock. Profit targets up to the -1.5 level. 9.61:1 Risk/Reward -> 278 handles long, even on $MNQ this would be $556/contract, with 29 handles risk. Crazy and precise!

ICT Short EURUSD OTE Entry (just mute, I cannot disable laptop mic) Another example of an NY trade today, Shorted the higher time frame bias, Have marked the chart up to show my logic, When you determine what you are looking for to fit criteria pre market and pre trade IE ( A rules based system) its much easier to sit back and wait for the boxes to tick themselves, I dont force trades and I don't make the market give me something, I just ride the wave. This is another FTMO DEMO ACCOUNT pass for me while still testing this Strat, in just this trade. The market is making these moves everyday, Deciphering the chart and looking for evidence is all I do, It doesn't need to be more complicated, I truly believe that, I know my chart looks dirt but I've written all over it for this video and I'm also colour blind so trust me, In my eyes its beautiful (lol) - Side note, If your studying ICT or OTE etc etc hit my inbox to join a discord with me, I'm not selling anything I'm not looking for anything other than to exchange ideas with like minded people as trading is a lonely game, What ever stage of your journey you are at. Hit me up lets start a conversation, Especially if your a London / NY session trader..

Bitcoin idea for long and shortHello everyone, This is a continuation of the idea I posted yesterday which is linked as a related idea. Yesterday I posted relevant FVG and NPOC levels to look at for now. It seems the FVG level was hit precisely, only for price to drop back to the channel which is now acting as support as was to be expected in case of a rejection at FVG level. I have indicated two zones of interest I am looking at for possible longs or shorts at this point. Whether or not I will decide to long or short is dependent upon whether or not support will hold, and I will wait for confirmation (retest). At this point, I think support is more likely to break than to hold. But you never know. Just talking in probabilities. If you get value from this idea, please leave a like. Much success, and as always: just an idea - not financial advice.

BTC: relevant nPOC and FVG levels to look at for nowBTC is showing bullish momentum to the upside, right now. Given that FVG and nPOC levels are relatively powerful predictors of price movements, I highlighted some relevant zones to look out for in current times. The FVG levels are the thicker lines, the nPOC levels are the thin lines. Regarding upside potential: Relevant nPOC level to the upside is located around $46200. I find it especially relevant given the yet untouched FVG level located closely below it, at $45480. I think both FVG as well as (n)POC levels are best interpreted as zones, so I take it as a 45500 - 46200 zone. I look at that zone as a place of relevance with regards to upside potential. However, in order to get there, BTC would need to break some psychological support barriers (round numbers) which should be taken into account. Regarding downside potential: A relevant nPOC is located at 37950. This is located closely to an FVG level (which has been touched multiple times). So regarding downside potential I would look at 38000 - 37900 first. However, in order to get there, BTC would need to break some psychological support barriers (round numbers) which should be taken into account. I have also highlighted a horizontal channel (the dashed lines) which we could spend some time consolidating in before either breaking out to the up- or downside. As always, just an idea and not financial advice.

EDUCATIONAL POST (FVG - Fair Value Gap)EDUCATIONAL POST: (FVG - Fair value Gap) 📊📈 Let's take some time to explain a trading term I often use in my TA. 🤓 FVG - or Fair Value Gap (= inefficiency, void...) 👉 What they mean by that is an area of the chart where the price moved past in just 1 single candle, meaning the candle before + after haven't touched this area. 👉 This is how such a gap is formed. 👉 This gap frequently works as a magnet for the future price, indicating a CONTINUATION (bullish —> bounce, bearish —> drop) NOTE: this is the strongest on the first touch it does, after that it's power deminishes and price often moves back through it. EXAMPLE: (bullish) price moves up fast and creates a FVG. This area will act as a bounce area for when the price drops back down to this, before continuing higher. I've added a theoretical + $BTC example. (scroll back to see it on the chart) Hope you learned something. 👌 Oli 🤙

GOLD Possible LONG ScenarioGold continues to create new Highs. It's possible for it to continue even higher without a deeper confirmation that we were waiting from the previous analysis. I will be looking for a buy from a daily Order Block/Demand zones. Market structure is important. We need multiple confirmations and a shift in the structure before entering. The perfect scenario would be a creation of liquidity and clearance of it tapping into an OB with a Wyckoff spring. DISCIPLINE Strive for patience, perseverance, determination, & rational action. Limit your losses, use stops. Never cancel a stop loss order after you have placed it! It's just an idea of mine. However, everyone can share their thoughts in the comment section below. Also, don't forget to support me! :) Disclaimer: Trade at your own risk. I'm sharing my ideas and not giving trading advice. Always plan your trade and trade your plan.

CHFJPY - Multitimeframe AnalysisCJ is looking good for shorts. We have multiple confluences for it as explained in the video. Summary: Monthly Timeframe: - Price has just run up higher filled in a Fair Value Gap perfectly. It seems to be reversing from here. Weekly Timeframe: - We have an unmitigated Orderblock. Since this orderblock was a "Sell to Buy", means that the selling positions from Smart Money are currently in extreme minus positions, and they will want to reprice lower to mitigate out of their minus positions. Daily Timeframe: - We are creating SMT Divergence with its correlated pair - EURJPY. This means that CHFJPY went higher to run out the buy stops and made higher highs, will EJ is creating lower highs. CJ will most likely distribute to then run lower. - Price has just reacted off a Daily Bearish Breaker Block, which should push price lower. - Huge Imbalance FVG Gap. Price will come back to fill it as fast as possible. - Massive Consolidation. Below these consolidations, there are lots of sell stops that will get taken out. H2 Timeframe: - Potential Sell POI. Valid Orderblock + Breaker that also caused the last low to get broken to the downside (Break in Market Structure - BMS). - We have a Bearish Trendline that has three beautiful touches. Everyone that already is in Shorts from the trendline will get liquidated at the next mitigation of the Trendline up into the OB + Breaker and sell off further from there.
