1	00:00:06,270 --> 00:00:19,440	ICT: Alright folks, take a look at the E Mini, micro NASDAQ 100 index. And shader imbalance we're in here, this is the initial one, you can always imagine,
2	00:00:19,740 --> 00:00:29,160	it could start up into the second one, which it's really as sensitive as done now. So that could be a sell. I'd like to see it come down here, first, outline
3	00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:40,890	this as I go. This is come at the end of the road. For the drop down before it runs, Tuesday's highs, that's what I'm thinking this is FOMC. And we did a few
4	00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:52,410	minutes for it to do its initial ShakeOut. So this is the end of the race, lower s little checkered flag here, notice I have that. So it's not like me talking.
5	00:00:53,670 --> 00:01:04,380	After the fact that we can see I'm doing everything here. Myers we're looking forward to drop down in and run out the Tuesday highs that I was mentioning on
6	00:01:04,740 --> 00:01:14,040	my community post. So I'm always looking for it to trade down here. Now, it could sweep a little bit below that, because to the left of that imbalance
7	00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:25,500	highlighted in turquoise, there's a sell side liquidity pool resting in just below it. But for now, I'm just focusing there, so it could drop down into that
8	00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:36,570	level. And there's a couple of ways to use this information, you can do a trade here with your demo account, compliance reasons, and look forward to run out the
9	00:01:36,570 --> 00:01:48,780	short term low. And or wait for it to potentially trade up into the higher timeframe. Fair value gap. And the reason why you could potentially wait for
10	00:01:48,780 --> 00:01:59,700	that is because it's FOMC has like a knee jerk reaction, kind of like Non Farm Payroll, there's initial way then another leg, like a fake out leg, and then
11	00:01:59,730 --> 00:02:09,720	real setup counts, which is what I'm outlining here in that blue shaded area. So I'm noticing that it's likely to draw down here so I'm drawing this out. So we
12	00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:18,870	can see the diagram is dropping, okay, the idea is to drop down here first is the quick move I'm looking for, then the run through Tuesday's high.
13	00:02:25,650 --> 00:02:36,510	Alright, so it should start dropping in here. I don't want to see it go too much more than that, because that would upset the fair value gap that is not yet
14	00:02:36,510 --> 00:02:47,460	traded into, I think that's going to be the the next real drop. So here's where I'm thinking initially, there sellside resting rate below that low. So you could
15	00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:59,430	be a short here. And your stop would be right above that most recent green candle to the left of where we're at now. And you can see there's no replay
16	00:02:59,430 --> 00:03:10,140	button being used to get a candle or painting, the replay button is dim, it's not even a thing with me. What's not true now is that I did recently in the
17	00:03:10,140 --> 00:03:20,070	mentorship video, use the replay button, but it felt awkward and I just wanted to do it just to be funny. So here is the drop down in here. Now we can revisit
18	00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:30,330	the bottom end of that fear of a gap and bump it into kind of like a Support Resistance idea. That would be a shorting opportunity if it were to do that. And
19	00:03:30,330 --> 00:03:35,580	again, this thought would be placed at the high of the most recent green candle to the left
20	00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,909	right there see that? That's a short right there
21	00:03:53,700 --> 00:04:04,110	okay, the market is likely to keep dropping in here I'm looking for that little Bullseye that blue Bullseye right below that short term low. And that blue line
22	00:04:04,110 --> 00:04:16,770	if you notice when I first started the recording here that was really just an order block. So it could bounce there a little bit. But ultimately, my interest
23	00:04:16,770 --> 00:04:29,670	is from where we are now down into that checkered flag area. It doesn't look like I got enough room so I'm gonna probably have to move that over to the right
24	00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:42,210	a little bit. Again, the mindset is are dropping down. Okay, even though it's really initially just ran the Tuesday high but it's shallow. Okay. The
25	00:04:42,210 --> 00:04:53,640	vocabulary I'm using here is running the Tuesday Hi, not sweeping. The Tuesday high. Difference between sweeping would be like what it's done here. That will
26	00:04:53,640 --> 00:05:04,260	be a sweep. That's a real shallow little run above that red line. That's Tuesday's high. Okay, so it's wet. that they were coming back down, post FOMC.
27	00:05:04,530 --> 00:05:12,030	So kind of like, look at this move here we're making. And if it can drop down to that blue shaded area, it might just if I'm wrong, it might just go down to that
28	00:05:12,030 --> 00:05:19,110	little little Bullseye and then rung higher from there, I'm hoping it doesn't do that I want to see a trade down into that blue shaded area, a little checkered
29	00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:28,530	flag is because that's like the end of the race for bears, they get into that, then it should start there, we'll move higher running Tuesday high. Running
30	00:05:28,530 --> 00:05:35,310	Tuesday's high means it runs right over top of it, and it just doesn't look back. Sweeping is where it just goes above or below a low or high, you know, I
31	00:05:35,310 --> 00:05:44,220	mean, like, if we're going to sweep by side, that means is going to go up a little bit, and then go down in reverse. Okay, if I'm saying we're going to run
32	00:05:44,460 --> 00:05:54,540	an old high for relative equal highs, that means we're going to run through it and continue. So that was a little bit of an understanding here what I'm saying
33	00:05:54,540 --> 00:06:02,460	when I say that, I try to pick my words carefully so that we understand the distinction between what I'm expecting as a sweep and reverse back into the
34	00:06:02,460 --> 00:06:11,400	range or expansion move where I think if we can get down here, and I'm gonna scrub this over, because you can see we're getting running out of space here, it
35	00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:31,890	might take a little bit more candles, when I first thought this area this thing I'm telling you, I look like a noob I see these. Alright, so we'll see if we can
36	00:06:31,890 --> 00:06:44,970	drop down into that. And I had to make another video for my mentorship group. So I gotta get started on that one. So here's a bearish order block, it can come
37	00:06:44,970 --> 00:06:47,700	back from a hit that and resume going lower.
38	00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:56,610	Not bad, not bad. Let's see if she loves me.
39	00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,210	You can see no replay button. Everything's dynamic here.
40	00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:18,180	Right that the run into that sellside liquidity pool.
41	00:07:24,330 --> 00:07:39,450	Anchor does, here's what we can see visually when it drops below it. Change the color, here's a little bit like you're going to like it's good enough that we
42	00:07:39,450 --> 00:07:57,240	can see it. I'll take this off here. All right. There you go. Now I'll come back to this in a moment. All right. As you can see, the market didn't affect trade
43	00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:05,520	down look at the bodies of the candles respecting that blue shaded area really, really handsome price delivery. And it down a little bit below. But that's fine,
44	00:08:05,550 --> 00:08:12,960	I'm not worried about being that accurate. The main thing is going down into that area, it turns and then runs Tuesday's high, look how much more dynamic
45	00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:24,270	that is. Now, what I did was I took the low at the term after it made its run into that little blue shaded area once it started rallying, and it took out the
46	00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:36,390	swing high around that 13,006 I'm sorry, 13,001 50 basically crossed back over where the fair value gap is that larger one that dropped down into once it
47	00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:47,970	trades above that, then I'm going to use the high initially at the two o'clock hour down to the low post 230. That range, I'm using the Fibonacci to expand up
48	00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:58,560	to a target and it came up to 13,004 37 even. I'm just waiting for it to hit that. And then once it does, then I'll go into the Fibonacci. And I'll show you
49	00:08:58,620 --> 00:09:10,020	what this looked like how I measured it and all that. But hopefully, you can see that it's done the majority of the move, which was outlined on the Community tab
50	00:09:10,020 --> 00:09:21,360	before I did the video. I did the video here, marking it up that we can see it wasn't a replay thing. It wasn't something after the fact. It's something that
51	00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:31,860	I'm teaching you all here. Now the question mark at the bottom lower left hand corner. What that is anchoring is the height that was formed. At two o'clock,
52	00:09:31,890 --> 00:09:39,870	we'll be showing this 1400 here on the chart down to that low where the question mark is so what you're doing is you're going to measurement of the range came
53	00:09:39,870 --> 00:09:49,230	where it's 50% of that. Below 50% is where that fair value gap is. That's in turquoise. So that's the target it's dropping down into it. So it's a matter of
54	00:09:49,230 --> 00:10:11,040	looking at this. And really there's technically all there's 12345 I've 678 There's eight trades in this, this whole entire thing. So once it trades this
55	00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:20,580	level here, I'm looking forward to hit that. And then I'll go in and kind of like show you some things about what I'm referring to as the eight setups. And
56	00:10:20,580 --> 00:10:29,040	this might not be the real setup that you would be looking for, it might be something one of the eight that I'll show you. But that's the unique thing, the
57	00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:35,670	idea that I want you to adopt as a student of mine, I don't want you all thinking, well, we all have to have the same setup. No, you don't have the same
58	00:10:35,790 --> 00:10:45,300	setup. In fact, you're not, you're going to come to the conclusion that, you know, the things you're looking for, are going to be much more important when
59	00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:53,910	it's uniquely selected, not me pushing you into a mold, saying this is how it's going to work every single time just for you, because it's not going to work
60	00:10:53,910 --> 00:11:04,620	that way. So you have to find a way to grow comfortable with the concepts and how that applies to the present market conditions. And how you select your
61	00:11:04,620 --> 00:11:13,650	setup. And I'll show you eight of them in here. That way, you'll know that this is what you're looking for. And it fits your criteria. And you may not take any
62	00:11:13,650 --> 00:11:22,800	of the other seven at the eat. But the main one here is obviously the one I highlighted, it's the one that is the highest form of analysis that we can see
63	00:11:23,220 --> 00:11:31,380	exactly where it's going to draw to before it turns around. So you can couple what I've shown you here with what I've out outright, and Kane told you
64	00:11:31,410 --> 00:11:41,730	basically that I'm looking for the drop down to FOMC at two o'clock, once it drops down into that usually around 230 SP finished its initial leg, where it
65	00:11:41,730 --> 00:11:48,240	prices in whatever it's going to do either a high or low, and it starts to rally. So you can see it's pretty much close to that in terms of algorithmic
66	00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:59,010	delivery, just a little bit past 230. We're about ready to hit that target here. And there she is. Alright, so let's dim that out. And I'll take you over to the
67	00:11:59,010 --> 00:12:08,520	fifth portion. And I'll explain everything to you that way. Alright, so now obviously, I'm going to take you back in, we'll use the fifth year and what I'm
68	00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,700	doing is anchoring to the high
69	00:12:13,470 --> 00:12:23,160	down to the low. Now this is the most extreme. Now usually I'll use the highest open or close in the lowest open or close in the price swing, when it's not
70	00:12:23,220 --> 00:12:33,480	expected to have a whole lot of volatility big because it's the FOMC it's more likely to be much more volatile. That means the extreme of the ranges should be
71	00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:40,440	considered that means now I'm going to use the wicks, you get asked a lot of time, you know, in the comments like you know, why does ITC use the wicks and
72	00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:54,270	why to use the valleys and monzi differentiate? I just taught you. Okay, so I will show you two forms of that. And actually, this backwards did did and draw
73	00:12:54,270 --> 00:13:07,350	it from the low up to the high. I'm looking for upside objectives. Okay, so well up to high. Here's one objective. Here's two objectives. And now we're just
74	00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:16,560	falling short of that one. Okay, so that's kind of the extreme target for me today. But if you look at the body to body, it'll make a whole lot more sense in
75	00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:31,170	a moment. There's that target was looking for there. In the earlier portion of the recording. Period, I got initial one here drops down hits the order block,
76	00:13:31,410 --> 00:13:39,240	which is that blue line here, it bounced up into the fair value gap. This is what I was suggesting this is going to be the main ones I would say, run on
77	00:13:39,270 --> 00:13:50,550	liquidity drop down, start to drop, even lower hidden order block, then rallies up hits the fair value gap, that sets the stage for the decline down into the
78	00:13:50,550 --> 00:14:00,240	area I highlighted in advance said this was the end of the road for the bears, starts to rally, comes back down in rallies once more, takes off takes up
79	00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:09,900	Tuesday's high, much more meaningfully. And rallies again, pulled back into an imbalance here rallies again pulls back into an imbalance here after taking our
80	00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:22,080	target and then even continues to go higher from there. Okay, so let's take a look at some of the trades you got the wrong here ahead of FOMC that I would not
81	00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:33,300	count. Okay, that's that's a setup, but that's a Gambler's setup, it's before the FOMC announcement. So we have the drop down, then the fair value gap here.
82	00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:43,830	So that's trade one, the return back to the fair value gap here that's trade two drops down in below here you would close your short if it's a scalp here is a
83	00:14:43,830 --> 00:14:53,070	long idea as a scalp to take us up into asset liquidity resting above this high here into a Faraday get a sense of this short down into the objective I was
84	00:14:53,070 --> 00:15:01,260	looking for. Now right away some of you're thinking man, I'm not Spider Man. How do you expect me to take all these traits I'm not folks I'm not Any one of these
85	00:15:01,260 --> 00:15:11,520	things that I'm outlining here could be a specific setup that fit your unique model. Okay, that meets the criteria that you're looking for then drop down here
86	00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:20,190	that's a buy and you can share it disappear as an order block their rallies up and it comes back down into the order block these two down close candles here
87	00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:29,910	because now this is where I said we were gonna turn and I said we were gonna run Tuesday's highs, and I sweep I'm like, this is going to run them. Okay, so we
88	00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:39,570	ran right over top of them here. So it rallies up comes back down in retracement rallies, again, small little imbalance, you can be a buyer their rallies. And
89	00:15:39,570 --> 00:15:50,040	again in here, this is one that I didn't obviously mention, you see, because I stopped the recording as it ran through here on our objective. Okay. And I think
90	00:15:50,040 --> 00:16:00,180	that is going to be it. So I don't want you thinking, this is an invitation for you tried to trade FOMC or like a Non Farm Payroll event. They're very, very
91	00:16:00,180 --> 00:16:10,170	risky, extremely risky. But they're really fun to go back into and study from a hindsight perspective or if you can watch it live. It's a wonderful case study
92	00:16:10,170 --> 00:16:19,470	that we can look at how liquidity is taken, how it runs to the other extreme of the range and how it starts to deliver institutional order flow. All the down
93	00:16:19,470 --> 00:16:27,570	close candles should be supporting price as it goes up and running out Tuesday's high in a much more meaningful manner. Hopefully you found this one insightful.
94	00:16:27,990 --> 00:16:29,730	Until next time, be safe
