2 |1 |00:00:07 ~-~-> 00:00:14 |ICT: Hello Folks. How are you happy? Monday? This is September 29 2025 and
3 |2 |00:00:14 ~-~-> 00:00:20 |this is going to be the first we focus on forex. We're gonna take a quick look
4 |3 |00:00:20 ~-~-> 00:00:23 |at the dollar index, Euro dollar and POUND DOLLAR.
5 |4 |00:00:29 ~-~-> 00:00:35 |All right, so we're looking at left hand side. That's the daily chart, and this
6 |5 |00:00:35 ~-~-> 00:00:42 |premium wick here, that's what I have highlighted, and I showed you the
7 |6 |00:00:42 ~-~-> 00:00:47 |contrast of this last week, this highest high and then this one in here. So you
8 |7 |00:00:47 ~-~-> 00:00:51 |want to look at both of those. I'm going to show this one, and you go back to the
9 |8 |00:00:51 ~-~-> 00:00:56 |other chart. And again, the interactive aspect of this is you actually do this
10 |9 |00:00:56 ~-~-> 00:01:00 |with your own charts, not just simply relying on mine, but you also want to
11 |10 |00:01:00 ~-~-> 00:01:04 |have this one here, the tallest one on the daily chart with the gradient levels
12 |11 |00:01:05 ~-~-> 00:01:09 |like this one is okay. So the market made it a rally like we were expecting
13 |12 |00:01:09 ~-~-> 00:01:13 |last week off of the inversion fair value gap that was called for before it
14 |13 |00:01:13 ~-~-> 00:01:25 |even formed. This retracement lower came on the heels of Thursday, saying in ex
15 |14 |00:01:25 ~-~-> 00:01:29 |post, I said, Be content. Don't, don't look for anything further on the upside
16 |15 |00:01:29 ~-~-> 00:01:35 |the next day, Friday, we have an Inside Day, and then we have follow through on
17 |16 |00:01:35 ~-~-> 00:01:41 |the downside. So my premium wick here. So these darker lines, the blue and the
18 |17 |00:01:41 ~-~-> 00:01:47 |red. The red is that consequent encroachment level at 97.937 you can see
19 |18 |00:01:47 ~-~-> 00:01:57 |that here, 97.937 and we opened up with Asia's session and London Open minor
20 |19 |00:01:57 ~-~-> 00:02:02 |buys have liquidity. So here's London in Asia. So relative equal highs, the
21 |20 |00:02:03 ~-~-> 00:02:08 |market rallied off of that, after using a sell side imbalance by signing
22 |21 |00:02:08 ~-~-> 00:02:12 |efficiency that took out sell side here, that's what this was. They accumulated
23 |22 |00:02:12 ~-~-> 00:02:17 |the stops below there, throwing them on an open kill zone. Then rallied shift in
24 |23 |00:02:17 ~-~-> 00:02:21 |market structure came right back down into an inversion fair value gap. So
25 |24 |00:02:21 ~-~-> 00:02:27 |this Sibi changed this characteristic to that of a bullish PD array, and you can
26 |25 |00:02:27 ~-~-> 00:02:31 |see how the bodies are pretty much respecting the consequent encroachment.
27 |26 |00:02:31 ~-~-> 00:02:36 |I mean, it's a little bit of movement below it, but ultimately, this positive
28 |27 |00:02:36 ~-~-> 00:02:41 |balance cell phone efficiency here and the inversion fair value gap held it at
29 |28 |00:02:41 ~-~-> 00:02:46 |bay, and it rallied up attacking that Asia and London, open, lifestyle
30 |29 |00:02:46 ~-~-> 00:02:56 |liquidity, up into a 845 leave it was last week. I can't recall on the last I
31 |30 |00:02:57 ~-~-> 00:03:03 |don't have my note on that day, and just go back to 845, in the morning, and
32 |31 |00:03:03 ~-~-> 00:03:07 |you'll see it to have it on a five minute chart, and you'll see that that
33 |32 |00:03:07 ~-~-> 00:03:16 |gap, but the trades up into that inefficiency breaks lower. Sibi says,
34 |33 |00:03:16 ~-~-> 00:03:20 |bear value gap, then we break again. Have a volume and balance in here, the
35 |34 |00:03:20 ~-~-> 00:03:26 |separation two bodies, candle or dyslexic today, Michael, the two candles
36 |35 |00:03:26 ~-~-> 00:03:33 |bodies, okay, and it trades right back up to the 98.012 which is that level
37 |36 |00:03:33 ~-~-> 00:03:37 |right here. That's the upper quadrant of this premium wick. Again. The reason why
38 |37 |00:03:37 ~-~-> 00:03:42 |I'm using that one because the tallest one of all these, and hits it perfectly
39 |38 |00:03:42 ~-~-> 00:03:47 |there, after completing the return into that volume and balance here. Then it
40 |39 |00:03:47 ~-~-> 00:03:53 |gave up the ghost, broke lower aggressively, and then worked this
41 |40 |00:03:54 ~-~-> 00:03:58 |discount wick. Now you do this on your own chart, okay, put the upper quadrant
42 |41 |00:03:58 ~-~-> 00:04:02 |on that level right there, and you'll see where it lays with that. And then
43 |42 |00:04:02 ~-~-> 00:04:11 |breaks lower, once more, trading down into 97.786 which is the low of the
44 |43 |00:04:11 ~-~-> 00:04:17 |premium wick of this candlestick right here, and hits it there. And then we go
45 |44 |00:04:17 ~-~-> 00:04:23 |on London close, and there it is, but the mark just basically is
46 |45 |00:04:23 ~-~-> 00:04:28 |consolidating. Now it's actually in, admittedly, it's becoming a little bit
47 |46 |00:04:28 ~-~-> 00:04:33 |more tricky while we're inside of this range. And what range am I referring to?
48 |47 |00:04:33 ~-~-> 00:04:39 |This high and this low? We're we're like, basically in no man's land. So now
49 |48 |00:04:39 ~-~-> 00:04:44 |it becomes a 5050, higher or lower. So you have to be very, very careful when
50 |49 |00:04:44 ~-~-> 00:04:47 |you're trading Forex now, because we're right back in the middle of the range,
51 |50 |00:04:47 ~-~-> 00:04:51 |and it could literally go either direction. That's not what you want to
52 |51 |00:04:51 ~-~-> 00:04:54 |hear. But I'm going to tell you when it's like that, it's hands off to sit
53 |52 |00:04:54 ~-~-> 00:05:01 |still. All right, moving on. This is your dollar or five. Or daily chart on
54 |53 |00:05:01 ~-~-> 00:05:06 |left hand side, and the five minute chart of Euro, dollar or fiber on the
55 |54 |00:05:06 ~-~-> 00:05:11 |right hand side. So you can see we had our old bison and Alcee sign efficiency,
56 |55 |00:05:11 ~-~-> 00:05:17 |and I did not have this shaded on Thursday's review correctly. I told you
57 |56 |00:05:17 ~-~-> 00:05:22 |I didn't want to do it because I wanted to keep it that green color I had today.
58 |57 |00:05:23 ~-~-> 00:05:27 |I put it in there to show you an inversion, which acted as here, but it's
59 |58 |00:05:27 ~-~-> 00:05:31 |drawing back up into it today, and that's this shaded area up here. Now
60 |59 |00:05:31 ~-~-> 00:05:36 |these white lines, all this is is me grading this candlesticks high to that
61 |60 |00:05:36 ~-~-> 00:05:41 |candlesticks low, and I'm only showing the lower quadrant and the upper
62 |61 |00:05:41 ~-~-> 00:05:45 |quadrant. I'm not showing the high or the low of it or the consequence me,
63 |62 |00:05:45 ~-~-> 00:05:50 |because this dashed line, it's used to show the midpoint of any rectangle on
64 |63 |00:05:50 ~-~-> 00:05:54 |trading view. It's accomplishing that method. So I don't need to show that.
65 |64 |00:05:54 ~-~-> 00:05:58 |And I'm only showing these levels on the five minute chart. It's not showing up
66 |65 |00:05:58 ~-~-> 00:06:02 |over here. Okay, so you can see that this darker go here is this rectangle on
67 |66 |00:06:02 ~-~-> 00:06:07 |the five minute chart for dollar. All right, so we can see we had sell side
68 |67 |00:06:07 ~-~-> 00:06:13 |liquidity in the Asian session last night, and then we rallied up a little
69 |68 |00:06:13 ~-~-> 00:06:18 |bit, created relative equal highs for London. Open kill zone. It trades down,
70 |69 |00:06:18 ~-~-> 00:06:21 |attacking the sell side here and inside of the buy side balance, cell sign in
71 |70 |00:06:21 ~-~-> 00:06:25 |efficiency, bullish, fair value gap trade down the lower quadrant. Overshoot
72 |71 |00:06:25 ~-~-> 00:06:29 |it just by a little bit. The body's staying in the upper half that's bullish
73 |72 |00:06:29 ~-~-> 00:06:34 |comes right back up into this cell sign and balance by signing efficiency breaks
74 |73 |00:06:34 ~-~-> 00:06:39 |lower, small, little gap in here. See it trading right there? You want to add
75 |74 |00:06:39 ~-~-> 00:06:44 |these on your chart. And then we break lower once more, and the body's just dip
76 |75 |00:06:44 ~-~-> 00:06:48 |below. Consequent encouragement of the plastic sign efficiency fair value gap
77 |76 |00:06:48 ~-~-> 00:06:52 |there, and we rally up. Now look at this ready hit the upper quadrant of this
78 |77 |00:06:52 ~-~-> 00:06:57 |inefficiency. So what I'm doing is I'm taking the FIB and attaching it to the
79 |78 |00:06:57 ~-~-> 00:07:04 |low of the fair value gap, which is that candle is high to that candle is low and
80 |79 |00:07:04 ~-~-> 00:07:09 |the upper quadrant, lower quadrant levels are shown respectively here, and
81 |80 |00:07:09 ~-~-> 00:07:15 |the upper quadrant hits it dead bang on, perfect Nick. Extrapolation to the
82 |81 |00:07:15 ~-~-> 00:07:18 |upside, we have a bison and balance outside efficiency after a shift in
83 |82 |00:07:18 ~-~-> 00:07:25 |market structure here, and it's a breaker, low, high, lower, low. See how
84 |83 |00:07:25 ~-~-> 00:07:29 |I'm giving you lots of room for you to add to your chart. Not everything's
85 |84 |00:07:29 ~-~-> 00:07:32 |going to be done for you now, but bullish breaker hits it right there,
86 |85 |00:07:32 ~-~-> 00:07:38 |hammers it nice, rallies up. Another inefficiency here, left open, but it
87 |86 |00:07:38 ~-~-> 00:07:42 |takes the buy side here, right there, comes back down, hits the old liquidity
88 |87 |00:07:42 ~-~-> 00:07:51 |pool there, rallies up, trades into this old by sign about cell sign efficiency.
89 |88 |00:07:51 ~-~-> 00:07:55 |That's now where we're low. So it's inversion fair value gap, and we drop
90 |89 |00:07:55 ~-~-> 00:08:00 |down. Hit order block here, pull shoulder block rallies up, falls just a
91 |90 |00:08:00 ~-~-> 00:08:10 |little bit short of the upper quadrant at 1.17550 and then it breaks lower.
92 |91 |00:08:10 ~-~-> 00:08:15 |Notice the bodies are staying in the lower half of this old daily for Vega.
93 |92 |00:08:15 ~-~-> 00:08:19 |Then it gives up the ghost, breaks lower, comes right back up into an old
94 |93 |00:08:19 ~-~-> 00:08:24 |inefficiency here. So when this rally up and broke lower and rally through it
95 |94 |00:08:24 ~-~-> 00:08:32 |again, this right here, just like when you're looking for breakers, and that's
96 |95 |00:08:32 ~-~-> 00:08:36 |this was a breaker. So we have a high, low, higher, high, when that low is
97 |96 |00:08:36 ~-~-> 00:08:40 |taken out, it becomes a bearish breaker. And you see it traded to here, right
98 |97 |00:08:40 ~-~-> 00:08:45 |there. So that's bearish breaker. Well, when you see highs forming like this,
99 |98 |00:08:45 ~-~-> 00:08:48 |when they're reaching up, you want to look for the buy side of balance,
100 |99 |00:08:48 ~-~-> 00:08:51 |outside efficiency there, because they will act as inversion fair value gap.
101 |100 |00:08:51 ~-~-> 00:08:55 |About 80% of the time you're going to see inversion fair value gaps form like
102 |101 |00:08:55 ~-~-> 00:09:00 |that. So if you're a reversal pattern trader, Turtle Soup trader, but don't
103 |102 |00:09:00 ~-~-> 00:09:04 |have the nerve to try to sell above old highs. Just wait for it to get into an
104 |103 |00:09:04 ~-~-> 00:09:09 |inversion fair value gap over here on as the in the rallies up into it, look for
105 |104 |00:09:09 ~-~-> 00:09:16 |those last one or two foolish fair value gaps when the markets making these
106 |105 |00:09:16 ~-~-> 00:09:19 |highs, wait for the break through it and then come right back up into it and then
107 |106 |00:09:19 ~-~-> 00:09:25 |can sell short there. You don't need to have a huge stop up here. You use a stop
108 |107 |00:09:25 ~-~-> 00:09:28 |loss right there. And that still might be too much for some of you, because you
109 |108 |00:09:29 ~-~-> 00:09:32 |want to do 20 contracts, 30 contracts of your funded accounts and just over
110 |109 |00:09:32 ~-~-> 00:09:35 |letters. That's not how you should trade, though. But anyway, just thought
111 |110 |00:09:35 ~-~-> 00:09:39 |that's in there, toss it in there for an extra charge, but it breaks lower again,
112 |111 |00:09:39 ~-~-> 00:09:46 |and we come back up into your immediate rebalance, breaks lower once more,
113 |112 |00:09:47 ~-~-> 00:09:51 |consolidates around the old pool liquidity, and then goes into rather
114 |113 |00:09:51 ~-~-> 00:09:56 |sloppy price action, back into this old by sign of balance, sell sign
115 |114 |00:09:56 ~-~-> 00:10:02 |efficiency. So we have liquidity in here. This has been made jagged there.
116 |115 |00:10:02 ~-~-> 00:10:06 |So where is it smooth, right below here. So just be mindful that that and over
117 |116 |00:10:06 ~-~-> 00:10:14 |here, this while, right POUND DOLLAR, we have a daily city here. We traded up
118 |117 |00:10:14 ~-~-> 00:10:20 |into that, and we broke lower last week, you saw that, and we traded down into
119 |118 |00:10:21 ~-~-> 00:10:28 |liquidity here and the low here, at the lower quadrant of the inefficiency,
120 |119 |00:10:28 ~-~-> 00:10:29 |which
121 |120 |00:10:30 ~-~-> 00:10:36 |I don't know. Why I don't have it anchored properly. I don't know, I don't
122 |121 |00:10:36 ~-~-> 00:10:41 |know where this is anchored at. Now I'm thinking about, I think I may have cut
123 |122 |00:10:41 ~-~-> 00:10:44 |it off. I think it's what's happened here. It should be something over here,
124 |123 |00:10:44 ~-~-> 00:10:48 |but if you look at your chart, you'll find out exactly what it is. Main thing
125 |124 |00:10:48 ~-~-> 00:10:52 |is where we're at right now. We had a city here between these two
126 |125 |00:10:52 ~-~-> 00:10:57 |candlesticks, the high and the low, and that gap we trade up into that. It's not
127 |126 |00:10:57 ~-~-> 00:11:01 |annotated on my chart here, but you want to be mindful of that. And these levels
128 |127 |00:11:01 ~-~-> 00:11:07 |here are the discount gradient levels on this wick on the daily chart. So these
129 |128 |00:11:07 ~-~-> 00:11:11 |very, very prompt dark lines, that's what that is, and the smaller, thinner
130 |129 |00:11:11 ~-~-> 00:11:16 |lines, that's these up here. These are representing this candlesticks discount
131 |130 |00:11:16 ~-~-> 00:11:22 |wick. These darker, thicker lines represent this area in here for this
132 |131 |00:11:22 ~-~-> 00:11:27 |discount wick. So this, this discount wick. And this discount wick is where
133 |132 |00:11:27 ~-~-> 00:11:32 |you're seeing these two sets of gradient levels. The upper one is this one you
134 |133 |00:11:32 ~-~-> 00:11:38 |can you can verify by the price legends here, where it shows you the label of
135 |134 |00:11:38 ~-~-> 00:11:42 |what each one of those lines represents for price, all right. So had south side
136 |135 |00:11:42 ~-~-> 00:11:48 |of the coating pool here in the London session to London and kill zone. We
137 |136 |00:11:48 ~-~-> 00:11:53 |rallied up, broke lower South Side amounts by sign efficiency plus a
138 |137 |00:11:53 ~-~-> 00:11:59 |breaker. So we hit that here, the bearish fear value gap and consequent
139 |138 |00:11:59 ~-~-> 00:12:03 |encroachment. It wicks through, just almost filling us in, leaves a small
140 |139 |00:12:03 ~-~-> 00:12:08 |portion open, breaks lower, takes a sell side there, hits the consequent
141 |140 |00:12:08 ~-~-> 00:12:14 |encroachment of this discount wick right here. That level comes in at 1.34248
142 |141 |00:12:18 ~-~-> 00:12:25 |1.34248 hits it there perfectly dead. Bang on. Rallies. Fear value. Got there,
143 |142 |00:12:25 ~-~-> 00:12:30 |crazy down into that. Then rips higher, takes the buy side here, retraces once
144 |143 |00:12:30 ~-~-> 00:12:33 |more into this bicycle balance outside efficiency. Look at the body's
145 |144 |00:12:33 ~-~-> 00:12:41 |candlesticks. Second time I think I'm getting I'm getting old. Aina, dyslexia,
146 |145 |00:12:41 ~-~-> 00:12:44 |two times. I'm not editing it out. I don't care. I don't care what you hear.
147 |146 |00:12:44 ~-~-> 00:12:49 |I don't care what you say about I want to hear about the bodies of these
148 |147 |00:12:49 ~-~-> 00:12:54 |candlesticks. They are staying in the upper half of that that is that the
149 |148 |00:12:54 ~-~-> 00:12:57 |wicks are allowed to do the damage, but it leaves a small portion open, and it
150 |149 |00:12:57 ~-~-> 00:13:03 |rallies up, rips through the buy side here, and here, and takes us into this
151 |150 |00:13:03 ~-~-> 00:13:09 |discount where you had this discount WIC gradient levels, and you can see that
152 |151 |00:13:09 ~-~-> 00:13:16 |the low comes in at 1.34534 that's this. And we just fall short down in New York
153 |152 |00:13:16 ~-~-> 00:13:21 |open kill zone, getting up into that lower quadrant of this discount wick. We
154 |153 |00:13:21 ~-~-> 00:13:27 |break lower, probably back up into a bearish, fair value gap, and last off
155 |154 |00:13:27 ~-~-> 00:13:31 |closed candle before trading lower. That's the change in the state of
156 |155 |00:13:31 ~-~-> 00:13:34 |delivery that opening price. That's what that is. That's not a demand zone. It's
157 |156 |00:13:34 ~-~-> 00:13:40 |not somebody zone. That's not an fu candle, that's not a engulfing candle.
158 |157 |00:13:40 ~-~-> 00:13:43 |That's not what all everybody else wants to call it. Okay? It's just simply
159 |158 |00:13:43 ~-~-> 00:13:46 |changing the state of delivery. Where the I'll go goes right back to that,
160 |159 |00:13:46 ~-~-> 00:13:52 |hammers it one more time. It's not mitigating, it's not mitigating the
161 |160 |00:13:52 ~-~-> 00:13:56 |order block, okay? Like, like, some of these guys up there say it's just, they
162 |161 |00:13:56 ~-~-> 00:14:00 |got some of the buzz words, but they don't have it correct at all. Okay, it
163 |162 |00:14:00 ~-~-> 00:14:07 |sounds like temu ICT, but rallies up, closes in the fair value gap hits the
164 |163 |00:14:07 ~-~-> 00:14:11 |close of that, I'm sorry, opening that can the closing in the inefficiency and
165 |164 |00:14:11 ~-~-> 00:14:15 |trading right back to the change in state delivery. So what that means is
166 |165 |00:14:15 ~-~-> 00:14:18 |price was spooling higher, and then once it rotates and trades the other
167 |166 |00:14:18 ~-~-> 00:14:23 |direction. You want to see where that last reference point was at that
168 |167 |00:14:23 ~-~-> 00:14:29 |interval, which is in here, it's five minute time frame that opening price.
169 |168 |00:14:29 ~-~-> 00:14:33 |Carry it forward, and you see it hit it right there, bang. And now every high
170 |169 |00:14:33 ~-~-> 00:14:39 |frequency trading algorithm, it starts firing, looking for shorts, okay, and
171 |170 |00:14:39 ~-~-> 00:14:43 |they want to get in there is as much as they can inside this inefficiency, and
172 |171 |00:14:43 ~-~-> 00:14:51 |it breaks lower, rips into this inefficiency here, digs through it, sell
173 |172 |00:14:51 ~-~-> 00:14:55 |side below that low ramps through that small, little fair value, trades up,
174 |173 |00:14:55 ~-~-> 00:15:02 |fails to get to consequent encroachment takes us down into 1.0 4166, that's the
175 |174 |00:15:02 ~-~-> 00:15:07 |low of that candlesticks, discount click, or the low that very day itself
176 |175 |00:15:07 ~-~-> 00:15:10 |hits it during London close and then back into consolidation for the
177 |176 |00:15:11 ~-~-> 00:15:19 |remainder of the day. All right, we're going to look at this portion. It's the
178 |177 |00:15:19 ~-~-> 00:15:24 |focus on index futures, where I'm primarily focusing on Christmas
179 |178 |00:15:25 ~-~-> 00:15:32 |December, mini n q futures or E Mini futures, December contract, all right,
180 |179 |00:15:32 ~-~-> 00:15:37 |left hand side, daily chart, right hand side. One minute chart, okay, one minute
181 |180 |00:15:37 ~-~-> 00:15:40 |showing on regular trading hours. That way it shows you the regular trading
182 |181 |00:15:40 ~-~-> 00:15:45 |hours. Difference between where we close that on Friday and where we open up on
183 |182 |00:15:45 ~-~-> 00:15:50 |regular trading hours at 930 eastern time today, Monday, September 29 2025
184 |183 |00:15:51 ~-~-> 00:15:57 |over here last week, as I mentioned on Twitter, or x, as they call it now, I
185 |184 |00:15:57 ~-~-> 00:16:01 |said that this candlestick right here, it's discount. WIC, you want to grade
186 |185 |00:16:01 ~-~-> 00:16:07 |that. And also note that the fair value gap that's formed right here, go back
187 |186 |00:16:07 ~-~-> 00:16:12 |and look at my ex posts. Okay, I'm not going to hand held hand hold it for you
188 |187 |00:16:12 ~-~-> 00:16:15 |and do all the work for you. Okay, if you're going to do the trouble of
189 |188 |00:16:15 ~-~-> 00:16:19 |following me or watching some of my posts, go and look at it, what did I say
190 |189 |00:16:19 ~-~-> 00:16:23 |on that? On that day? You know, on Thursday, look at this, okay. And the
191 |190 |00:16:24 ~-~-> 00:16:28 |market trades down into the upper quadrant inside of that fair value gap,
192 |191 |00:16:28 ~-~-> 00:16:32 |and it leaves a small portion between that low and that candlesticks high. It
193 |192 |00:16:32 ~-~-> 00:16:37 |leaves it open, and then little Harry Potter meme post at the same time as it
194 |193 |00:16:37 ~-~-> 00:16:42 |hit, it hit, what that upper quadrant level inside that. Everybody got the
195 |194 |00:16:42 ~-~-> 00:16:50 |Harry Potter wands pointing up, up. It's gonna go up and look at that. Oh my
196 |195 |00:16:50 ~-~-> 00:16:55 |goodness, I got lucky there. Didn't I got really lucky there. It's a must have
197 |196 |00:16:55 ~-~-> 00:16:59 |been coincidence. But then we have this wick again, split that in half. That's
198 |197 |00:16:59 ~-~-> 00:17:03 |consequent encouragement. You can see that that's what happens right here.
199 |198 |00:17:03 ~-~-> 00:17:14 |Okay, so on Friday, we traded down into that beautifully at 24.529 24 529, even
200 |199 |00:17:14 ~-~-> 00:17:19 |hits it there handsomely, and it rips back up bullish. But it's an Inside Day.
201 |200 |00:17:19 ~-~-> 00:17:25 |So here's Thursday's high, Thursday's low, Friday's high, Friday's low. So
202 |201 |00:17:25 ~-~-> 00:17:29 |it's inside of the previous day's range. So usually, when you see that, if you
203 |202 |00:17:29 ~-~-> 00:17:35 |have a directional bias, that's I was hinting at, it's usually indicative of
204 |203 |00:17:35 ~-~-> 00:17:38 |continuation. Could potentially be explosive to the outside, in this case,
205 |204 |00:17:38 ~-~-> 00:17:44 |and we had that here, we opened relative to where we closed that here in revenue
206 |205 |00:17:44 ~-~-> 00:17:49 |trading hours. It's a huge gap, but where we opened up at six o'clock on
207 |206 |00:17:49 ~-~-> 00:17:53 |Sunday's trading, it wasn't all that terrible in terms of a separation. It
208 |207 |00:17:53 ~-~-> 00:18:01 |looks a lot more here because it had moved up from the New START of trading
209 |208 |00:18:01 ~-~-> 00:18:05 |on Sunday, all through Asia and then all through London and whatnot, to get to
210 |209 |00:18:05 ~-~-> 00:18:11 |the regular trading hours of 930 eastern time this morning. So with all this
211 |210 |00:18:11 ~-~-> 00:18:14 |stuff here, I'm going to zoom in and take us right into this portion and into
212 |211 |00:18:14 ~-~-> 00:18:19 |the right Okay, so that's what we have here. We have that regular trading hours
213 |212 |00:18:20 ~-~-> 00:18:24 |opening range gap. Okay, you can see that little box here. It's indicating
214 |213 |00:18:24 ~-~-> 00:18:31 |opening range gap. So where we stop trading on Friday, ready to trading
215 |214 |00:18:31 ~-~-> 00:18:36 |hours, to where we opened today, 930 Eastern time. Ready to trading hours,
216 |215 |00:18:37 ~-~-> 00:18:41 |regular trading hours. Right hand side, see that. So it starts to rally right
217 |216 |00:18:41 ~-~-> 00:18:45 |away. We create, first, present the fair value gap right here, then we have
218 |217 |00:18:45 ~-~-> 00:18:50 |another fair value gap there, and we reach up in here, do a lot of business
219 |218 |00:18:50 ~-~-> 00:18:55 |in here, we break down potential shift in market structure below that low. So
220 |219 |00:18:55 ~-~-> 00:18:59 |that means this might become a inversion fair value gap. It does, but it spends a
221 |220 |00:18:59 ~-~-> 00:19:03 |lot of time in here. Okay? It's a lot of time distortion, and wants to lower
222 |221 |00:19:03 ~-~-> 00:19:08 |people and going along looking for this high to be traded back to. And it is
223 |222 |00:19:08 ~-~-> 00:19:14 |folded over and break it lower. Bearish, reclaimed, fair value gap trades up to
224 |223 |00:19:14 ~-~-> 00:19:18 |it there breaks lower. And this spot center, balance, cell, sign, efficiency,
225 |224 |00:19:18 ~-~-> 00:19:23 |it's traded down through it. So we open trade rate back up into just sort of
226 |225 |00:19:23 ~-~-> 00:19:27 |consequent encroachment. You want to see it fail to touch that. If it's bearish,
227 |226 |00:19:27 ~-~-> 00:19:31 |it rips lower trades into the first presented fair value gap. What was the
228 |227 |00:19:31 ~-~-> 00:19:34 |first presented fair value gap? It was a buy side and balance sell side
229 |228 |00:19:34 ~-~-> 00:19:38 |efficiency or an up close candle. So if we trade down through it, it's going to
230 |229 |00:19:38 ~-~-> 00:19:46 |become, what a premium array in the form of a bearish inversion fair value gap,
231 |230 |00:19:46 ~-~-> 00:19:50 |so it trades up into that here, hits it beautifully, breaks lower and then takes
232 |231 |00:19:50 ~-~-> 00:19:54 |the sell side below the lows at register trading hours print. That means that's
233 |232 |00:19:54 ~-~-> 00:20:00 |the low that was given during the entirety of registration hour. Session
234 |233 |00:20:00 ~-~-> 00:20:05 |so far for the day, and it drew down into that liquidity hits. It
235 |234 |00:20:05 ~-~-> 00:20:08 |consolidates around it, and then starts using the opening range high, which is
236 |235 |00:20:08 ~-~-> 00:20:13 |the actual opening price here. It breaks lower, creates relative equal lows,
237 |236 |00:20:14 ~-~-> 00:20:18 |relative equal highs. This bangs around a little bit here, and then rips lower
238 |237 |00:20:18 ~-~-> 00:20:21 |through the upper quadrant, falls short of the that's quite
239 |238 |00:20:28 ~-~-> 00:20:36 |encroachment of the opening range. That's, that's what the don't have that
240 |239 |00:20:36 ~-~-> 00:20:42 |on here. I'm getting disoriented here looking at this. It's 24,008, 16, and
241 |240 |00:20:42 ~-~-> 00:20:48 |that's this premium wick, okay, premium wick gradient levels. So I don't have
242 |241 |00:20:48 ~-~-> 00:20:53 |that, that opening range gap created. It's this here. Got confused by looking
243 |242 |00:20:53 ~-~-> 00:21:01 |at it, but it trades down to that upper quadrant level right there, or fall
244 |243 |00:21:01 ~-~-> 00:21:05 |short of that one rather, and it goes to the high of that candlestick at 24,008,
245 |244 |00:21:05 ~-~-> 00:21:11 |16, right there, and then consolidates into where we're at at the time of this
246 |245 |00:21:11 ~-~-> 00:21:16 |recording. Screenshot was taken at two o'clock. Just be mindful that this is a
247 |246 |00:21:16 ~-~-> 00:21:22 |little too smooth in here. This is a little too smooth if it starts to rotate
248 |247 |00:21:22 ~-~-> 00:21:26 |lower, you know, that's fine. You will deal with that tomorrow's trading. But
249 |248 |00:21:26 ~-~-> 00:21:31 |for right now, this seems like if there's a lot of people that want to be
250 |249 |00:21:31 ~-~-> 00:21:35 |short because they want to try to short all time highs, and if they are up here,
251 |250 |00:21:35 ~-~-> 00:21:40 |they're really ramping down, putting stop losses here. So it's not hard for
252 |251 |00:21:40 ~-~-> 00:21:47 |it to get up and hit that, but long and short, you know, try to avoid going
253 |252 |00:21:47 ~-~-> 00:21:50 |short. Okay, just try to do your best not to do that. If you don't have any
254 |253 |00:21:50 ~-~-> 00:21:54 |experience or haven't been doing this for a very long time, just try to avoid
255 |254 |00:21:54 ~-~-> 00:21:57 |being short in these types of markets, because it can hurt you when you're
256 |255 |00:21:57 ~-~-> 00:22:01 |trading all time highs, and they could just in one day, just take off and keep
257 |256 |00:22:01 ~-~-> 00:22:05 |going, keep going, keep going. And every time you try to short it, you'll just
258 |257 |00:22:05 ~-~-> 00:22:09 |care it'll tear you up. What does it reach for? Maybe we're in electronic
259 |258 |00:22:09 ~-~-> 00:22:15 |trading hours. Notice that lowering small, little city up here, okay, above
260 |259 |00:22:15 ~-~-> 00:22:21 |this old high, this old order flow in here, it draws up into the inefficiency
261 |260 |00:22:21 ~-~-> 00:22:25 |rate before it right there. And that's what it gave up the coast today, and
262 |261 |00:22:25 ~-~-> 00:22:35 |went back down into this premium WIC high at 24 816 that's 2424 816 there. So
263 |262 |00:22:35 ~-~-> 00:22:40 |a little bit of a tricky day. Admittedly, I worked with Caleb today,
264 |263 |00:22:41 ~-~-> 00:22:45 |and he did some some trades around the first present the fair value gap, and
265 |264 |00:22:45 ~-~-> 00:22:51 |we'll just leave it at that, but that's going to be it for today. And Lord
266 |265 |00:22:51 ~-~-> 00:22:57 |willing, I'll be back tomorrow with another review and point out some things
267 |266 |00:22:57 ~-~-> 00:23:02 |that you should be pertinent on, or should be pertinent on your travels and
268 |267 |00:23:02 ~-~-> 00:23:04 |discovery and Smart Money concepts, all right,
269 |268 |00:23:12 ~-~-> 00:23:16 |folks, thanks for your continued interest, and I'll talk to you next
270 |269 |00:23:16 ~-~-> 00:23:18 |time. Wish good luck and good trading.
