179 +* ICT Markup - [Market Efficiency Paradigm] (link to definition later)
180 +[[image:Screenshot 2020-07-07 at 04.34.19.jpg]]
181 +\\It's basically the narrative of why price goes where it does and why it reacts the way it does when it gets there and where it is reaching to next.  The ICT Bearish Breaker cuts to the whole narrative immediately. 
182 +\\Why?  You want to look at price and look for areas where they run an old high because above that is going to be buy stops.  And this is buy side liquidity.  This could be in the form of buy stops for new long entries, or stops protecting existing shorts.
183 +\\The big candle to the right runs through that zone to gather the liquidity.  Also, ICT calls this candle pattern a "Judus Swing" because it's a fake move because it appears to signal a bullish move.
184 +\\When we see these sharp runs that that run previous highs/lows, it's highly suspect to ICT.  If we get back down below the lowest down candle (ICT Bearish Breaker), breaking that low (which it does in the 3-6am bull candles above), the narrative changes to Bearish.
185 +\\So what we do is go to that Breaker, draw the line out in time and then you'll be able to see the real turning point, or the real support/resistance level if you like.  Look at the 7-9am candles on the right where it touches the 1.2371 line.
186 +
187 +* This provides the narrative behind finding and OTE with this structure in place.  It can occur in a trendless market environment, and doesn't have to have a bullish or bearish trend on the daily chart, so go into the lower timeframes.
188 +
189 +* 1h chart marked up showing the previous days low as our highlighted candle is a ICT Bearish Breaker and tends to indicate that we are going for new lows and it is likely we will target the previous days low.

198 +\\stops will be above the 1.0 point
199 +\\We see the high, down to the low, and then the price returning to the OTE where we can fill our order.  Our -2 level is the 1.23 big level and the institutions reaching for the old lows and the liquidity that can be found there.
200 +
201 +* Also note, that we have not yet taken our previous days lows, so there is a second possible OTE entry.  The price starts to retrace at at 11am - which is just outside of our session window, but still acceptable.  So, place the fib and see if this retracement suggests a trade

205 +\\We see the high, low, the retracement into the 62 OTE region and we'll be targeting the previous days low with a short.  The stop would be above the high
206 +\\Our targets: 
207 +- 1.2282 - 1.2283 for our 0.5 level
208 +- 1.2265 for our 1.0 level, or we could target the 1.227 level as a more likely target rather than getting a full fib.
209 +\\We're rounding down our numbers and being content with not being too greedy so we don't make a winning trade a losing one.
