ICT YT - 2025-05-02 - 2025 Lecture Series - NQ Review 05-01-2025

Last modified by Drunk Monkey on 2025-05-08 09:22
1 00:00:34 --> 00:00:41 ICT: Folks, welcome back. Today is Thursday, May 1. 2025, the months and
2 00:00:41 --> 00:00:46 weeks and days keep rolling by 2025. Is really, you know, hard to get done in
3 00:00:46 --> 00:00:52 it. So let's take a look at today's action on NASDAQ. Obviously we can see
4 00:00:52 --> 00:00:54 here we have a virgin chart with a rather handsome young man in the
5 00:00:54 --> 00:00:59 background, keeping his eye on you. Okay, he's keeping his eye on you. So we
6 00:00:59 --> 00:01:04 added the lipstick I went over last night before I go through this. If you
7 00:01:04 --> 00:01:09 have not watched the April 30, 2025, video that was uploaded prior to this
8 00:01:09 --> 00:01:15 one, stop this video and go watch that. Okay, because everything I'm going to
9 00:01:15 --> 00:01:19 talk about here, otherwise it's going to seem like I'm talking about it in
10 00:01:19 --> 00:01:24 hindsight, and see how smart I am, because it already happened. Okay, so I
11 00:01:24 --> 00:01:34 warned you all right. So here we have the daily chart, and I went through the
12 00:01:37 --> 00:01:43 specifics with this specific candles wick. And I went through all the levels
13 00:01:43 --> 00:01:47 here, lower quadrant, consequent encroachment level, upper quadrant, the
14 00:01:47 --> 00:01:53 high and then this volume imbalance. Now, the level that I did not put in, at
15 00:01:53 --> 00:02:02 least by memory, if I did great. But I think I don't have a mention of this Wix
16 00:02:02 --> 00:02:08 consequent encroachment, but this is also something else watching. So I
17 00:02:08 --> 00:02:12 intended to mention it last night in the video, but I don't know if it was there,
18 00:02:12 --> 00:02:17 so just be mindful that that is probably the only thing that is not in last
19 00:02:17 --> 00:02:21 night's video. All right, so I hope you'll permit me that. But the main
20 00:02:21 --> 00:02:26 focus was when this candlestick was a little bit bearish, it had a little bit
21 00:02:26 --> 00:02:30 of a wick, you rejection off that it was sitting right about in here, and no up
22 00:02:30 --> 00:02:37 movement like that yet. And certainly today here we're on a new day. So I
23 00:02:37 --> 00:02:41 mentioned that during Thursday, in the Friday Non Farm Payroll, that it would
24 00:02:41 --> 00:02:44 likely reach up into at the very minimum, I know I call it this level
25 00:02:44 --> 00:02:51 here, and take out that high of that wick on April 2. So just be mindful of
26 00:02:51 --> 00:02:58 the red line here at 19,008 22.50 that is the consequent encroachment level of
27 00:02:58 --> 00:03:04 this daily candles wick. Okay? Because I teach you to treat the wicks of
28 00:03:04 --> 00:03:11 candlesticks as gaps, and you can grade those levels as we have here, and you'll
29 00:03:11 --> 00:03:16 see the importance of it as we drop in lower time frame. So this blue line here
30 00:03:16 --> 00:03:20 is the consequent curtain of this candlesticks wick. So just like we did
31 00:03:20 --> 00:03:24 this last night. This is being highlighted for tonight as well. You can
32 00:03:24 --> 00:03:28 see how close we got to it there, and it just went a couple handles above it, and
33 00:03:28 --> 00:03:36 then create the high the day. That's probably random. All right, so we're
34 00:03:36 --> 00:03:40 looking at the daily chart zoomed in a little bit more. And again, I want you
35 00:03:40 --> 00:03:45 to just appreciate that draw up into that Wix consequent encroachment level,
36 00:03:45 --> 00:03:50 and how we deliver it into that volume imbalance rather handsomely. This is
37 00:03:50 --> 00:03:56 what the close of the day. You can see that hyphen here that delineates that
38 00:03:57 --> 00:04:02 separation from active trading hours to now it's not active, so I'll wait until
39 00:04:02 --> 00:04:06 six o'clock. You can see, well, not six o'clock, I wait till after five o'clock,
40 00:04:06 --> 00:04:10 before the 6pm restart. You can see the time when the screenshot was taken here.
41 00:04:12 --> 00:04:15 All right, dropping down into a one minute chart. Get this thing done rather
42 00:04:15 --> 00:04:18 quickly. I don't want to spend too much time with it, because I'm going into a
43 00:04:18 --> 00:04:22 three day weekend nonprofit payroll tomorrow. I'm not interested. I will not
44 00:04:22 --> 00:04:28 be active on Twitter, X, Telegram, anything. Okay, I will have a shotgun
45 00:04:28 --> 00:04:35 Saturday on next Saturday morning sometime. So you have to watch on X to
46 00:04:35 --> 00:04:41 see when that'll be so be mindful this low here, all right, so that's the
47 00:04:41 --> 00:04:45 London low, so south side is going to be below that. Now, contrast this with what
48 00:04:45 --> 00:04:48 I mentioned last night. I was telling you that I was personally bullish, not
49 00:04:48 --> 00:04:52 that you should be bullish, not that you should be treating with anything I'm
50 00:04:52 --> 00:04:55 saying here. This is just my opinion. Okay, 33 years of worrying about these
51 00:04:55 --> 00:05:00 candlesticks going to specific levels and then watching them deliver you. You
52 00:05:00 --> 00:05:05 are here just to borrow my experience, okay, but I teach you, and taught you
53 00:05:06 --> 00:05:11 that the liquidity in the London session, if it's below old lows, when
54 00:05:11 --> 00:05:15 you're bullish, it could reach down there. And this is what I have
55 00:05:15 --> 00:05:21 highlighted here. Okay, so at 19,009 zero, 1.25 that sell side. Here's a
56 00:05:21 --> 00:05:26 minor buy side liquidity pool. You'll hear this mentioned a few times in this
57 00:05:26 --> 00:05:31 presentation, but also you'll see that I mentioned this actually on x this
58 00:05:31 --> 00:05:36 morning. And if I'm not mistaken, I think it was around 947 you can see that
59 00:05:37 --> 00:05:41 post where I outlined that the inversion fair value gap, which I'll show you in a
60 00:05:41 --> 00:05:44 second, which is the first presented fair value gap of the morning opening
61 00:05:44 --> 00:05:49 range between 930 and 10 o'clock Eastern time, that it would be used as an
62 00:05:49 --> 00:05:55 inversion fair value gap and take us up into buy side at 19,009 9625, now that
63 00:05:55 --> 00:06:02 is the opening range. Me pointing out specifically there. But going back to
64 00:06:02 --> 00:06:08 what I gave you in the YouTube channel review yesterday, before the market
65 00:06:08 --> 00:06:12 closed, before it rallied up extremely high, all that was given to you before
66 00:06:12 --> 00:06:16 it actually happened. So the higher Time Frame is bullish. That's what I was
67 00:06:16 --> 00:06:18 looking for. I was not looking for shorts. I was not looking for selling
68 00:06:18 --> 00:06:22 and going into discount arrays. I'm looking for it to go into this kind of
69 00:06:22 --> 00:06:27 raise, just to go higher and fulfill what I outlined last night for April 30,
70 00:06:27 --> 00:06:32 2025 commentary on YouTube. All right. So just be mindful that. And then we
71 00:06:32 --> 00:06:38 have April 2, 2025 daily premium wick high. So this level here is on the daily
72 00:06:38 --> 00:06:42 chart, that high, that wick. That's what this is. This is that volume imbalance
73 00:06:42 --> 00:06:47 just above it. Okay, I'm going to ring in this level up here, which is that
74 00:06:48 --> 00:06:53 consequent encroachment of the premium width just above the volume imbalance I
75 00:06:53 --> 00:06:59 mentioned at the beginning of this video. All right, so here's the one
76 00:06:59 --> 00:07:02 minute chart. You can see that that sell side liquidity pool here I'm
77 00:07:02 --> 00:07:07 highlighting at 90,009 zero, 1.25 that is London's low overnight, around three
78 00:07:07 --> 00:07:14 o'clock in the morning. And there's that buy side again, at 19,009 96.25 and
79 00:07:14 --> 00:07:17 here's the first presented fair value gap. And I already highlighted it in
80 00:07:17 --> 00:07:23 orange, as I usually do, didn't denoting that that is going to be treated as not
81 00:07:23 --> 00:07:27 a sell, side imbalanced by side, efficiency to go shorten. Remember last
82 00:07:27 --> 00:07:33 night's bias bullish and at 947 I think right about in here, I tweeted and said
83 00:07:33 --> 00:07:40 that we would see this very gap right there at 938 one minute candle, and I
84 00:07:40 --> 00:07:44 probably should have added that, anchoring it into this, but you can find
85 00:07:44 --> 00:07:51 it on x. It is what it is, but the the draw on liquidity would be here, but not
86 00:07:51 --> 00:07:56 before treating that gap as an inversion for Vega. But we had 10 o'clock news. So
87 00:07:56 --> 00:08:01 at 10am we had ISM manufacturing PMI number. You can find that on forex
88 00:08:01 --> 00:08:04 factories calendar. You can find it on the corona days calendar. Any reputable
89 00:08:05 --> 00:08:08 economic calendar will tell you what medium impact or high impact. It was a
90 00:08:08 --> 00:08:12 high impact news driver at 10 o'clock. So you have to wait for that news to
91 00:08:12 --> 00:08:18 deliver. So it went up there, stopped short of running that high came down,
92 00:08:18 --> 00:08:23 took out the sell side here, and one more time sweeping below that. 3am
93 00:08:24 --> 00:08:27 london session, sell side liquidity pool. Why would they want to go down
94 00:08:27 --> 00:08:31 here? Because they're going to pick up all these orders down here that are
95 00:08:31 --> 00:08:37 resting to go short on a breakout or to protect a long position. So either way,
96 00:08:37 --> 00:08:42 sell side or sell stops, sell orders, pending orders to be a short seller
97 00:08:44 --> 00:08:49 or resting below that level. So the algorithm drops down there, to
98 00:08:49 --> 00:08:55 accumulate here, all through here and here, and then after 10 o'clock, it
99 00:08:55 --> 00:09:00 rallies higher, and then goes above that 938, first presented fair value gap
100 00:09:00 --> 00:09:06 here, it trades above. It then comes back down in. It does not notice this
101 00:09:06 --> 00:09:09 here. It does not break that load. It comes right in here. Look at the body.
102 00:09:09 --> 00:09:14 So what is it doing? It's validating this as an inversion fair value gap
103 00:09:14 --> 00:09:22 after that news driver. So because that new driver was a volatility injection.
104 00:09:22 --> 00:09:27 We have to be careful, because it's a Thursday before Non Farm Payroll. It
105 00:09:27 --> 00:09:31 could, it could do all kinds of things and mess up, you know, your analysis,
106 00:09:31 --> 00:09:35 your trade. It could hurt you. So that's why I tell you, if you're not a, you
107 00:09:35 --> 00:09:37 know, a seasoned veteran in terms of what I teach and been around for a
108 00:09:37 --> 00:09:40 while, or know how to trade and been trading for a long time, you probably
109 00:09:40 --> 00:09:42 shouldn't be trading on Thursday and Friday Non Farm Payroll at all.
110 00:09:42 --> 00:09:46 Nonprofit payroll at all, but it comes down and validates it by not going into
111 00:09:46 --> 00:09:49 the lower half, or even in this case, consequent encroachment, and then
112 00:09:49 --> 00:09:53 rallies that was, to me, confirmation that, okay, it validated it. So now I
113 00:09:53 --> 00:09:57 got to find an entry, because if I think that it's going to trade up in the net
114 00:09:57 --> 00:10:01 volume imbalance and best case scenario, what would the. Best case scenario be as
115 00:10:01 --> 00:10:06 an exit. If you're trying to get long using this inversion fair value gap down
116 00:10:06 --> 00:10:09 here, and you're aiming for the volume imbalance on the daily chart, which is
117 00:10:09 --> 00:10:13 shaded in that red area here, as you can see, March 27 2025 daily volume
118 00:10:13 --> 00:10:18 imbalance. Okay, so just remember, look at the first portion of the video where
119 00:10:18 --> 00:10:20 I was showing you the daily chart with the lipstick on it. The best case
120 00:10:20 --> 00:10:24 scenario exit would be at the high that volume imbalance, right? Wouldn't you
121 00:10:24 --> 00:10:29 agree? So aiming for an entry at the first presenter fair value gap, which is
122 00:10:29 --> 00:10:36 going to become a inversion fair value gap, and then rally up to first pool of
123 00:10:36 --> 00:10:42 liquidity. Is this 19,009 nine, 6.25 so that's a low hanging fruit objective,
124 00:10:42 --> 00:10:49 very, very easy. And 2030, handles obviously, would be warranted as a first
125 00:10:49 --> 00:10:54 potential profit scaling out. And also, in keeping with what did I give you this
126 00:10:54 --> 00:11:02 week as a a challenge mission, possible, 30 handles in the morning, 20 handles in
127 00:11:02 --> 00:11:06 the afternoon. So because I got things to do, places to be, people to see and
128 00:11:06 --> 00:11:09 I'm going to have a three weekend, I'm just going to just crush it today and
129 00:11:09 --> 00:11:14 just do what I'm showing you here, you will be able to see on X me closing the
130 00:11:14 --> 00:11:18 trade when it hits the limit order with what I'm about to show you. But my entry
131 00:11:18 --> 00:11:21 strategy, let me show you what that is okay, because you don't have to always
132 00:11:21 --> 00:11:26 get into the trade at the PD array that you're looking for. You're going to miss
133 00:11:26 --> 00:11:29 entry sometimes, folks, that's the reality of all this. You're not going to
134 00:11:29 --> 00:11:33 get your best entry every single time. You could be watching the chart, you
135 00:11:33 --> 00:11:39 could be dialed in zero distractions, and you simply do not get in. What do
136 00:11:39 --> 00:11:44 you do in that case? Well, in my case, because I have 81 ways, and you can
137 00:11:44 --> 00:11:49 times that by two to get into something or out of something as a trade, I have a
138 00:11:50 --> 00:11:54 plethora of dandy little tools and techniques and concepts that I've
139 00:11:54 --> 00:11:59 authored that no one else can do as well in their hands as I'm doing with my
140 00:11:59 --> 00:12:03 hands, because it's my stuff, so I'm teaching it to you, so that way you can
141 00:12:04 --> 00:12:08 grow, hopefully, an affinity for one or two of them at most, in the beginning,
142 00:12:08 --> 00:12:11 and just try to grow from that. But let's take a look at what it is that I
143 00:12:11 --> 00:12:16 use to get into the trade. This candlestick right here, and I have an
144 00:12:16 --> 00:12:22 error below and above the candlestick. I'm denoting that candlesticks open down
145 00:12:22 --> 00:12:27 to its low that it's that is its discount wick. In other words, it's the
146 00:12:27 --> 00:12:32 wick below the candlestick. We call them shadows or tails, and anything above as
147 00:12:32 --> 00:12:39 a wick would be obviously the wick, okay, so denoting that midpoint or
148 00:12:39 --> 00:12:46 consequent crochet of that lower portion of the candlestick that makes that wick,
149 00:12:46 --> 00:12:50 or discount portion of the candlestick. That's this line right here, and I'm
150 00:12:50 --> 00:12:55 projecting it in the future the next candle after that. We can see here. I'm
151 00:12:55 --> 00:12:58 denoting it with that arrow here, and that arrow here, I'm doing the same
152 00:12:58 --> 00:13:04 thing here, that wick I'm highlighting the midpoint. This is my gray pool.
153 00:13:04 --> 00:13:09 Okay, you're not going to know what that stuff is or even what this is, unless
154 00:13:09 --> 00:13:13 you learned it from me. Okay, there is absolutely no way you've heard that
155 00:13:13 --> 00:13:19 anywhere else. But it's my concept. It's codified, coded and signed by good old
156 00:13:19 --> 00:13:25 ICT, algorithmic gray pool, extend that in the future. Okay? And that is your
157 00:13:25 --> 00:13:29 portion of where you can get in. Now I already know what you're thinking, wow,
158 00:13:29 --> 00:13:34 that's that's really not anywhere close to the inversion fair value gap, or
159 00:13:34 --> 00:13:38 first presented fair value gap. Isn't that chasing price? I'll get to that in
160 00:13:38 --> 00:13:41 a moment, because I already know what you're thinking. But right now, I want
161 00:13:41 --> 00:13:45 you to take a look at the x the entry. Okay, here's the entry, and look real,
162 00:13:45 --> 00:13:49 real close right there. You'll see that that is me getting in at the low of the
163 00:13:49 --> 00:13:55 gray pool. Okay, and now I'm going to show you up here. Me getting out the
164 00:13:55 --> 00:13:59 trade right there. There's a little carrot symbol saying I'm getting out at
165 00:13:59 --> 00:14:04 the high of the volume bounds in the daily chart, folks, that is as perfect
166 00:14:04 --> 00:14:08 as you can get without getting in at the inversion fair value gap here, you're
167 00:14:09 --> 00:14:12 not going to see anybody else do it like that, and you're never going to see
168 00:14:12 --> 00:14:15 anybody else do it like that, because I have things that are going to help me be
169 00:14:16 --> 00:14:20 light years beyond everybody else out there, but I could still be your Good
170 00:14:20 --> 00:14:23 old friendly neighborhood mentor and teach you lots of things that will help
171 00:14:23 --> 00:14:29 you get into trades like this, but your experience level may not give it to you
172 00:14:29 --> 00:14:32 right away, and it'll frustrate you trying to trade with this measure of
173 00:14:32 --> 00:14:35 precision. You don't need to be this perfect. You don't need to be this
174 00:14:35 --> 00:14:39 precise to make money or consistently find trading setups or make money
175 00:14:39 --> 00:14:43 drawing out a monthly income. You're going to take losing trades, you're
176 00:14:43 --> 00:14:47 going to do it wrong. And when you see things like this, this is me just
177 00:14:47 --> 00:14:51 basically putting a cherry on top this week, because, well, it's just for this
178 00:14:51 --> 00:14:56 way. I really enjoy doing this. Okay? And unfortunately, this is the part that
179 00:14:56 --> 00:15:00 makes it sound like I'm narcissistic, arrogant, whatever. And that's not. What
180 00:15:00 --> 00:15:04 I'm trying to do here, I'm trying to be somewhat entertaining with folks that
181 00:15:04 --> 00:15:08 have a sense of humor, also to kind of like rip those individuals that don't
182 00:15:08 --> 00:15:11 think I know how to trade, or don't think I know what I'm doing, and because
183 00:15:11 --> 00:15:16 I'm calling it in advance, the day before, the day before, and at 920 I'm
184 00:15:16 --> 00:15:22 sorry, what is it? 947 today in here, I told you that this is going to be used
185 00:15:22 --> 00:15:26 as an inversion fair value gap. Go up to here. And last night's analysis that is
186 00:15:26 --> 00:15:32 going to go up to here and here, okay, but take it one step further. ICT, the
187 00:15:32 --> 00:15:37 consequent encroachment of March 27 daily, candlesticks, wick, the premium
188 00:15:37 --> 00:15:42 wick. That's what this level is here. So while I was watching it today, this
189 00:15:42 --> 00:15:47 could have delivered or fell short of it. And if I was looking for that to
190 00:15:47 --> 00:15:53 exit, I would have been probably disappointed. But in this case, you
191 00:15:53 --> 00:15:56 can't get better than that, in the high the volume imbalance, and be content
192 00:15:56 --> 00:15:59 with that and just watch it go to another level that I expected anyway.
193 00:16:00 --> 00:16:03 Whether I mentioned it last night or not, it doesn't make a difference. You
194 00:16:03 --> 00:16:06 did know about this portion here, but now, once it trades at that level, I'm
195 00:16:06 --> 00:16:10 done for the week. I'm not interested in doing anything else. So in keeping with
196 00:16:10 --> 00:16:17 what I taught in the last Saturday's x space, when we move away from the first
197 00:16:17 --> 00:16:20 presented fair value gap, because it's doing two things here, acting as a
198 00:16:20 --> 00:16:24 inversion fair value gap, which I told you it was going to act as way back
199 00:16:24 --> 00:16:29 here. Okay, so before it delivered it and you can see on X, ask your friends
200 00:16:29 --> 00:16:34 and neighbors if I ever delete or edit anything on x, because I don't. It goes
201 00:16:34 --> 00:16:38 down through it for the purposes of upsetting the liquidity that's resting
202 00:16:38 --> 00:16:42 below London's low and this load it formed, and then they rally it back up
203 00:16:42 --> 00:16:47 into the inversion, fair value gap candidate. But does it offer that
204 00:16:47 --> 00:16:51 validation? Nope. It goes in there, goes right back out. You have to wait. You
205 00:16:51 --> 00:16:56 got to wait. And the market goes below that once more, and then rallies above
206 00:16:56 --> 00:17:02 it, periods back down into it, and then runs away. That's validating it. That is
207 00:17:02 --> 00:17:06 verifying that that is absolutely what I said. Is going to be at 9:47am Eastern
208 00:17:06 --> 00:17:11 Standard Time. It was going to deliver this way. Now I have to find another way
209 00:17:11 --> 00:17:14 of getting in. Now let's say you didn't want to use a grade pool. Maybe you
210 00:17:14 --> 00:17:18 don't understand it. You don't want to touch it. It's complicated. It's
211 00:17:18 --> 00:17:22 complex. You're making it difficult. ICT, okay, well, I'm teaching technical
212 00:17:22 --> 00:17:27 science. If you want to do simple stuff, you can do my immediate rebalance, which
213 00:17:27 --> 00:17:30 is this candle sticks high, it rallies through it here, and then the next
214 00:17:30 --> 00:17:34 candle opens trades right back down. That candle is high. That's an immediate
215 00:17:34 --> 00:17:38 rebalance. And the next candle, or the next candle after that price, will start
216 00:17:38 --> 00:17:41 running. That's the rules. If you are in my mentorship. If you watch my
217 00:17:41 --> 00:17:46 mentorship content that you can see right on YouTube for free, okay, I
218 00:17:46 --> 00:17:49 uploaded everything to all different playlists. Just go through the playlist
219 00:17:49 --> 00:17:53 all the videos that's on there. It's absolutely my gift to you as a community
220 00:17:53 --> 00:18:00 in trading that rule of immediate rebalance. It sees price rip higher, and
221 00:18:00 --> 00:18:03 it goes right to that pool of liquidity as a very low hanging fruit objective in
222 00:18:03 --> 00:18:07 and of itself, that right there is enough to be content if you're a brand
223 00:18:07 --> 00:18:10 new student, new trader looking for a way to find setups. I'm literally laying
224 00:18:10 --> 00:18:14 out there on a silver platter. But you have to determine what you're going to
225 00:18:14 --> 00:18:19 use as your model. You could have used these two consecutive down closed
226 00:18:19 --> 00:18:24 candles here as my bull shoulder block and right there, and there it gets you
227 00:18:24 --> 00:18:25 an entry.
228 00:18:26 --> 00:18:30 So it's not a matter of, oh, you know, this is too many things to worry about.
229 00:18:30 --> 00:18:35 It's not. It's just, what are you comfortable with trading with? And there
230 00:18:35 --> 00:18:39 may be a PD array that you like that didn't provide you an entry for this
231 00:18:39 --> 00:18:43 setup. It doesn't mean the concepts don't work as I mean you won't be
232 00:18:43 --> 00:18:46 consistently profitable in the future. It just means that your model, your PDA
233 00:18:46 --> 00:18:51 rate, didn't, didn't give it to you on this run, and because it's not far
234 00:18:51 --> 00:18:55 payroll Thursday, you shouldn't have any worry about that. Should be no sweat, no
235 00:18:55 --> 00:18:58 problem. Next, next week, not next, tomorrow, Friday. It's a day that you
236 00:18:58 --> 00:19:02 shouldn't be trading for your brand new trader. It's a carnival ride at 830
237 00:19:02 --> 00:19:05 tomorrow morning. Carnival Ride at 830 tomorrow morning, Eastern Time, it's
238 00:19:05 --> 00:19:08 going to go crazy all over the place. And it's better if you're not there, if
239 00:19:08 --> 00:19:13 you're not skilled or, I guess, experienced. But now that first percent
240 00:19:13 --> 00:19:18 is very bad gap, because we completed the weekly objective, my weekly
241 00:19:18 --> 00:19:20 objective, price has already booked what it should have done. Then it's
242 00:19:20 --> 00:19:25 reasonable for price to do what? Start seeking discount arrays. Well, that
243 00:19:25 --> 00:19:30 would be starting in here, midpoint, consequent crochet of the daily volume
244 00:19:30 --> 00:19:33 and balance, then the low of the daily volume imbalance and the high of that
245 00:19:33 --> 00:19:38 April 2, daily premium wick high. And then if it goes below that, what can we
246 00:19:38 --> 00:19:43 trade for back down in the first part? That's a very bad guy. Yeah. Going to
247 00:19:43 --> 00:19:51 extend this here in time, and I'm also going to show you that, for those that
248 00:19:51 --> 00:19:56 were wanting, is this chasing price? No, it's still in a discount. Because if I'm
249 00:19:56 --> 00:20:02 looking for, as I mentioned, in 947 one minute. Uh Eastern Time, or one Eastern
250 00:20:02 --> 00:20:08 Time, uh, 937 eastern time today on X that I would be using or looking for,
251 00:20:08 --> 00:20:14 this 938 candle to act as an inversion fair value gap. It's the first presented
252 00:20:14 --> 00:20:22 fair value gap of the 930 to 10 o'clock opening range, which is 30 minutes, if
253 00:20:22 --> 00:20:25 I'm aiming to look for the setup here. And I believe that the high of that
254 00:20:25 --> 00:20:29 volume and balance on a daily chart is my draw on liquidity, the perfect
255 00:20:29 --> 00:20:33 Terminus exit for me. So I'm going to frame the entry off of the inversion
256 00:20:33 --> 00:20:36 fair value gap here. Draw the FIB up to that high of the volume and balance, the
257 00:20:37 --> 00:20:41 50% level of that range is here. So everything above that line is a premium,
258 00:20:42 --> 00:20:46 anything below that line is a discount. So when I'm entering here inside this
259 00:20:46 --> 00:20:53 gray pool, am I entering at a premium? No. So again, there's a lot of people
260 00:20:53 --> 00:20:57 out there that love terminology and the and the outlines I've created for just
261 00:20:57 --> 00:21:01 describing and determining what a premium and discount market is, but they
262 00:21:01 --> 00:21:05 don't necessarily understand exactly what they're doing, okay? And you got to
263 00:21:05 --> 00:21:08 keep watching my stuff and practicing and listening to the lectures, because
264 00:21:09 --> 00:21:15 just because you know the words and you can draw a fib with the 50% level on
265 00:21:15 --> 00:21:19 there, you may not be properly articulating what a discount premium
266 00:21:19 --> 00:21:23 market is, but we're going to extend that first presented fair value gap in
267 00:21:23 --> 00:21:27 the future, and now it becomes a discount array. So it's going to draw
268 00:21:27 --> 00:21:31 price down into as it does right there and stops dead in its tracks, where some
269 00:21:31 --> 00:21:35 random level of a consequence, croachman of the first presented fair value gap
270 00:21:35 --> 00:21:41 rallies back up to our old buy side liquidity here. Remember, liquidity
271 00:21:41 --> 00:21:47 pools can act just like any other array. Just because it went up there and swept
272 00:21:47 --> 00:21:51 that liquidity doesn't mean that they won't use that area. Again, remember,
273 00:21:51 --> 00:21:54 the algorithm doesn't know how many orders are at that level. It's just
274 00:21:54 --> 00:22:01 going to go to that level to offer fair value to the marketplace, not for your
275 00:22:01 --> 00:22:04 purpose of entering a trade, but for smart money. So the market trades up
276 00:22:04 --> 00:22:10 there once more, breaks lower fair value gap hits it here. Trades down to first
277 00:22:10 --> 00:22:14 visit fairbair gap again and into this small little gap here. We won't go into
278 00:22:14 --> 00:22:18 that tonight, important rallies one more time, trades back into first principles
279 00:22:18 --> 00:22:22 of Fairbank gap and trades up into this run here, back into this little gap, and
280 00:22:22 --> 00:22:25 then sells off back into the first resent the Fairbank at once more, and
281 00:22:25 --> 00:22:31 trades back up. Now keep an eye on the levels you see here. Okay, 19,009 zero,
282 00:22:31 --> 00:22:35 1.25 is that sell side liquidity pool from the London's low. And then we have
283 00:22:35 --> 00:22:39 the old buy side liquidity. And then we have this line is going to disappear.
284 00:22:39 --> 00:22:41 It's not salient to what we're going to see in the afternoon. And then we're
285 00:22:41 --> 00:22:46 going to extend this daily volume imbalance over as well. And I'll leave
286 00:22:46 --> 00:22:53 this here for reference. Okay, so the chart looks slightly different, but
287 00:22:53 --> 00:22:57 there's your me exiting there in the daily volume imbalance, and it uses the
288 00:22:57 --> 00:23:01 first version of everybody got to rally up and works that level, that old
289 00:23:01 --> 00:23:08 initial buy side that I gave you at 947 on X today in a post trades back up to
290 00:23:08 --> 00:23:14 the wick high of April 2, daily premium wick high hits it perfectly, stops,
291 00:23:14 --> 00:23:17 comes back down to the old buy side liquidity pool, back up to the wick
292 00:23:17 --> 00:23:24 high. And then we're going to start looking for the afternoon session run
293 00:23:24 --> 00:23:31 that goes into last hour trading. We can see it one more time. Trade up into that
294 00:23:31 --> 00:23:37 daily volume imbalance here, consolidates around the old buy solid
295 00:23:37 --> 00:23:40 liquidity pool, and then breaks aggressively lower, back down in the
296 00:23:40 --> 00:23:44 first potential fair value gap trades through. It trades below the London low,
297 00:23:44 --> 00:23:48 again, fails to get back to first percent of fair value gap and does gives
298 00:23:48 --> 00:23:53 up the goods breaking lower. And this level here is the midpoint of April 2,
299 00:23:53 --> 00:23:59 2025 daily premium WIC. That's the WIC high. And this is half of that wick on
300 00:23:59 --> 00:24:03 the daily chart. It draws down to that, and below, it consolidates around that.
301 00:24:03 --> 00:24:07 And then we start the new day in here with a new day opening up. All right, so
302 00:24:07 --> 00:24:11 that's going to be it today. Hopefully you you've learned something this week.
303 00:24:11 --> 00:24:15 I had a lot of great comments left. Tell me that they enjoyed having the Mission
304 00:24:15 --> 00:24:19 Possible. I will probably give you something Monday morning before the
305 00:24:19 --> 00:24:25 market opens up 930 as a task for next week. I won't make it so challenging as
306 00:24:25 --> 00:24:29 it was this time, and we'll have some Forex homework for you next week as
307 00:24:29 --> 00:24:29 well.
308 00:24:38 --> 00:24:42 Hi, folks, that's going to be it. Enjoy your weekend, and God willing, I will
309 00:24:42 --> 00:24:44 talk with you again next week. Bye.
