Best Liquidity Grab / Sweep Strategy For Trading Forex & Gold Learn how to trade liquidity grab / sweep with multiple time frame analysis. Discover how to combine top-down analysis and smart money concept SMC for trading forex and gold. You will get a complete step by step trading strategy with entry, stop loss and target. 1. In order to trade liquidity grab / sweep properly, you need to find liquidity zones first. For this trading strategy, the best liquidity zones will be on a daily time frame. Check these 2 significant liquidity zones on EURAUD forex pair on a daily. The zone where the selling activity concentrate will be called a supply zone. While the zone with a strong concentration of a buying activity will be a demand zone. 2. After that, you should look for a liquidity grab / sweep. For a valid liquidity grab / sweep the daily candle should violate the liquidity zone only with the tail / wick of the candle , while the body should stay within the zone. Above is the example of a liquidity grab of a demand zone. While the daily candle closed within the underlined area, the wick went beyond that. 3. After you identified a liquidity grab/sweep, start analyzing lower time frames . For this strategy, the best time frames are 4H and 1H. On these time frames, you should look for a consolidation and a formation of a horizontal range. Here is such a range on EURAUD on a 4H. These ranges will be used for confirmation . Your bullish signal will be a breakout of the resistance of the range , it will confirm a strong buying interest after a liquidity grab. That is the example of such a confirmation. 4. After that, set a buy limit order on a retest of a broken resistance of the range. Take profit will be the closest strong resistance, stop loss will be below the support of the range. That is how we trade a liquidity grab/sweep of a demand zone. With the supply zone liquidity grab trading strategy, you should wait for a bullish liquidity sweep followed by a bearish breakout of a range on a 4H / 1H time frames. I always say to my students that a single time frame analysis is not sufficient for profitable trading SMC. A proper combination of multiple time frames is the key to consistent profits. Following this strategy, you should achieve up to 80% winning rate trading liquidity grabs / sweeps. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

ASX 200 Bulls Take the Reins as Trade Hopes BuildThe signal from last week’s bullish engulfing candle on ASX 200 SPI futures has proven reliable so far, with the price rocketing above 7900 on Monday, providing a platform to establish long positions around. With optimism building over trade deals between the United States and major partners, including China, bulls may look to enter above 7900 with a stop beneath for protection. The 50-week moving average screens as a potential target, with futures bouncing strongly from it the last three times it’s been tested. If the price reverses and closes below 7900, the bullish bias would need to be reassessed. Momentum indicators remain net-bearish, though RSI (14) is lifting toward neutral. Given the headline-driven nature of the market, these signals may be less reliable than usual. Good luck. DS

USDJPY / 6J1! - Compelling reversal pointThe Yen futures (inverted from USD.JPY) are entering a multi-year resistance level. Considering the yen has arrived at this zone on one-sided trading with high momentum, a reversal trade is compelling from a market psychology perspective. As an additional non-technical confluence, there are also news rumours circulating on social media streams regarding an imminent new trade agreement between the two countries. If prices remain static for the next hour, the daily close will print a shooting star reversal candlestick pattern. Using a retracement entry at today's developing POC, which roughly aligns to the 0.382 intraday fib level, with a stop above the intraday (H1) swing high. A RR at opening of approximately 1:10 is available. Ideally, risk would be managed on H1 time frame for this type of trade. Note USD.JPY Forex charting will be inverted from the futures.

Nifty Analysis EOD - 22nd April 2025🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD - 22nd April 2025 🔴 🧠 Market Background: As highlighted in the previous session analysis, we were expecting a range-bound or narrow-range trading day — and that’s exactly what played out. Nifty opened at 24,185, right below the resistance zone where yesterday’s session had consolidated heavily. Early in the session, price fell below the Previous Day Close (PDC) and took support exactly at the Central Pivot Range (CPR) before staging a sharp move up — breaking both Current Day High (CDH) and Previous Day High (PDH). However, the 24,225 resistance zone acted as a speed breaker, pushing prices back down toward VWAP, which then provided a solid support base. Until around 2:45 PM, Nifty kept forming higher lows, giving hopes for continuation — but then broke the previous swing low, forming a new lower low into the close. 📊 Price Action Insight: Day closed above the CPR zone, which still favors the bullish structure However, on the daily timeframe, a near-perfect Doji candle has formed, with just a 9-point body, indicating indecision or a pause in the trend The intraday range was 170 points, noticeably lower than Nifty’s average range, hinting at contraction In such a case, trading the Doji becomes simple — wait for either high or low to break, but also consider nearby support/resistance confluence for better edge 🎯 Strategic Outlook: A retracement towards 23,660–23,710 or even 23,200 can’t be ruled out — although it's early to confirm Broader sentiment stays bullish, but this Doji suggests a pause or potential reversal — so caution near upper zones is advised Keep tracking key global cues and sector rotation — especially with Midcaps and Smallcaps showing strong resilience 📌 Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 362.5 IB Range: 129.65 (Medium IB) Market Structure: Balanced Long Trade Triggered at 10:30 AM — ✅ 1:1.5 Target Achieved Second Long Entry at 11:40 AM — ❌ SL Hit 📈 Index Performance Nifty: +42 Points (+0.17%) Bank Nifty: 🔼 New All-Time High at 55,961, closing at 55,647 (+342 pts / +0.6%) Nifty 500: +79 Points (+0.36%) Midcap: +422 Points (+0.78%) Smallcap: +122 Points (+0.73%) 📌 Key Levels to Watch 🔺 Resistance Zones • 24,190 ~ 24,225 • 24,330 ~ 24,360 • 24,480 ~ 24,540 🔻 Support Zones • 23,950 ~ 24,000 (Immediate support) • 23,820 • 23,660 ~ 23,710 • 23,500 • 23,400 ~ 23,430 • 23,200 ~ 23,190 🧘‍♂️ Final Thoughts "Structure is key. When levels work, respect them. When they break, adapt." Stay level-headed, stay prepared. Let the market show you the way. ✏️ Disclaimer ✏️ This is just my personal viewpoint.

USDCHF: One More Bearish Wave Ahead?! 🇺🇸🇨🇭 It looks like USDCHF has successfully completed a consolidation after quite an extended bearish rally. A breakout of a support line of an ascending triangle pattern on a 4H time frame provides a strong bearish confirmation.

Nifty Analysis EOD – 21st April 2025 🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – 21st April 2025 🔴 After the surprise expiry rally… comes the slowdown! 📌 Background After the stunning 414-point move on the weekly expiry day, Friday’s holiday break created the perfect breather. The key question heading into Monday was: “Will Nifty carry forward its momentum and breach 24,050? Or pause for breath?” Turns out, the market chose both – initial enthusiasm, followed by exhaustion and consolidation. 📌 Today’s Price Action Nifty opened at 23,949, right at the resistance zone of 23,950 ~ 24,000. ➤ The IB High was formed at 24,052, triggering a textbook IB Breakout just above the 200 SMA zone.➤ Price moved swiftly towards 24,188 – the Previous Highest Swing Close, and then... paused. From there, a 50-minute tight consolidation followed – one of the narrowest ranges seen in recent sessions, signaling a temporary equilibrium between buyers and sellers. Despite the bullish open and early breakout, Nifty closed at 24,133, just below the major resistance. 📊 Gladiator Strategy Parameters ATR: 383.83 IB Range: 134.20 IB Type: Medium IB IB Day: IB Breakout Market Structure: Imbalanced As per the Nifty Gladiator Strategy, the IB Breakout triggered around 10:45 AM, and the 1x IB target was achieved with clean follow-through. 📌 Technical Observations 📈 On the Daily Timeframe: RSI stands at 65.53, now forming a potential RSI divergence. Short RSI (3 of 3) is in the overbought zone. Momentum remains intact, but the range is cooling off, cautioning intraday traders of potential traps ahead. 👉 A narrow range session or a false IB breakout is likely in the coming session. 📈 Index Performance Nifty: +274 Points (+1.15%) Bank Nifty: New All-Time High at 55,461, closing at 55,295 (+1.87% / +1,014 points) Nifty 500: +324 Points (+1.5%) Midcap: +1,316 Points (+2.5%) Smallcap: +363 Points (+2.2%) Broader market sentiment remained strong and outperformed Nifty. 📌 Important Levels to Watch 🔼 Resistance Zones ➤ 24,190 ~ 24,225➤ 24,330 ~ 24,360➤ 24,480 ~ 24,540 🔽 Support Zones ➤ 23,950 ~ 24,000 (now immediate support)➤ 23,820➤ 23,660 ~ 23,710➤ 23,500➤ 23,400 ~ 23,430➤ 23,200 ~ 23,190 🧠 What’s the Trade Setup Now? Don’t be overly bullish at highs – wait for follow-through or failed breakout confirmation. If price holds above 24,190, then 24,330/24,480 becomes achievable. Failure to sustain above 24,050 could trap late bulls. Let Tuesday’s opening structure guide your bias. 🧘 Final Thought"Structure is key. When levels work, respect them. When they break, adapt." Stay alert as we approach higher resistance zones—momentum remains but risk of whipsaws rises. ✏️ DisclaimerThis is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action 🙏
