1 00:00:34 --> 00:00:39 ICT: Hi folks, welcome back. Just a quick little ditty here on Thursdays,
2 00:00:39 --> 00:00:47 NASDAQ trading take a look at the daily chart here. As I mentioned last night, I
3 00:00:47 --> 00:00:54 wasn't sure if we were going to drop down into this gap in here, but we did
4 00:00:54 --> 00:00:59 dip its toe in the water just below the previous day's low. I did say that we
5 00:00:59 --> 00:01:02 would be reaching for this high here, and then eventually we'd be reaching for
6 00:01:02 --> 00:01:07 these relative equal highs. How we were able to do that today, straight up above
7 00:01:07 --> 00:01:12 that. And we're going to look inside this volume balance for any details as
8 00:01:12 --> 00:01:18 well. Here's that volume and balance, and here's an hour chart. Here's some
9 00:01:18 --> 00:01:24 relative equal highs. You can see how we were allowed into that today, pretty
10 00:01:24 --> 00:01:29 aggressively and zoomed in, you can see that this is that 60 minute fair value
11 00:01:29 --> 00:01:38 gap I mentioned on social media today, and trading up into it, and then above
12 00:01:38 --> 00:01:44 it, treats it as a inversion, fair value gap right there. And then sends it to
13 00:01:44 --> 00:01:48 minor buy side. And then the buy side, yes, you're gonna hear my puppies in the
14 00:01:48 --> 00:01:54 background. And, no, I'm not editing it out. Turn over a new leaf baby. And then
15 00:01:54 --> 00:01:59 we have the 15 minute time frame, the inversion, fair value gap. Here it's it
16 00:01:59 --> 00:02:05 pre, pre market session hours. It's before 930 and then it rallies up, takes
17 00:02:05 --> 00:02:11 out the I mentioned last night, just straight up. You know, just this
18 00:02:11 --> 00:02:17 market's nuts. If I tried to fight it, you know, as a 20 year old like I used
19 00:02:17 --> 00:02:21 to, I'd be completely destroyed. Okay? And you're probably going to have the
20 00:02:21 --> 00:02:25 same outcome if you just go on your recklessly trying to force a bias or
21 00:02:25 --> 00:02:35 force a perspective, all right? And here is the smaller one minute time frame.
22 00:02:35 --> 00:02:41 This is the pre session, pre market session. I did a 15 second order block
23 00:02:41 --> 00:02:44 long here, and I showed that on the telegram channel reaching for this buy
24 00:02:44 --> 00:02:53 side here. And then we traded up into this rally above that 60 minute. Or why
25 00:02:53 --> 00:03:01 our fair value gap I was entering in in close, sorry, close proximity to just
26 00:03:01 --> 00:03:05 above the midpoint of it, or consequent encroachment, add a little bit of heat
27 00:03:05 --> 00:03:10 on that. But it's okay, because the money that was collected from this trade
28 00:03:10 --> 00:03:17 here funds the open position drawdown in here. So it's kind of like a I guarantee
29 00:03:17 --> 00:03:24 myself, you know, 300 bucks, 400 bucks, and then let's see how far we can milk
30 00:03:24 --> 00:03:28 this thing, going the other direction and aiming for this little gap in here.
31 00:03:29 --> 00:03:33 There's my close right there, and I shared that on Twitter because a young
32 00:03:33 --> 00:03:37 man asked me, Is that all there is for today? I had something I'd take care of
33 00:03:37 --> 00:03:43 today, so I wasn't able to trade. And honestly, the opening really, here it
34 00:03:43 --> 00:03:47 is. It to me, really wasn't worth doing anything with, because if you weren't
35 00:03:47 --> 00:03:57 already pre long basically, if you haven't entered the market long before
36 00:03:57 --> 00:04:01 the opening bell, you really didn't get a chance to do anything. This is 928,
37 00:04:01 --> 00:04:07 candle, so it came down consequent encroachment, basically, of that daily
38 00:04:07 --> 00:04:15 in daily volume imbalance, and it's kept on sending it higher. So I'm glad I
39 00:04:15 --> 00:04:20 actually missed this morning, because I would have been a little frustrated, you
40 00:04:20 --> 00:04:23 know, being in front of you once more and just not seeing the things I'd be
41 00:04:23 --> 00:04:27 looking for to take a trade. So it is what it is. I was one of the reasons why
42 00:04:27 --> 00:04:32 I spent time with you before the opening bell. And that's it. That's all I have
43 00:04:32 --> 00:04:35 for today. And we'll see if it continues to go highr for those relatively equal
44 00:04:35 --> 00:04:36 highs on the daily chart.
