Market Structure

Market structure refers to the overall trend of the market and smaller fluctuations within trends. There are two main types of structure - uptrends where prices rise and downtrends where they fall. Smart money traders look for patterns in structure like breakouts to predict price changes and prefer trading liquid assets where it is easy to enter and exit positions. Understanding market structure and liquidity can help traders identify institutional activity and make more informed decisions.

Market structure refers to the overall trend of the market, as well as the smaller

fluctuations within that trend. Smart money traders believe that by understanding
market structure, they can identify the areas where large institutions are likely to
enter or exit the market, and therefore make more informed trading decisions.

There are two main types of market structure: uptrends and downtrends. In an
uptrend, the price of an asset is consistently rising, while in a downtrend, the price is
consistently falling. Within these trends, there are smaller fluctuations, known as
swings. Swings can be either bullish or bearish, and they can last for a few hours,
days, or even weeks.

Smart money traders look for patterns in market structure that can help them predict
where the price is likely to go next. For example, they might look for a break of
structure, which occurs when the price breaks out of a previous swing high or low. A
break of structure can be a sign that the trend is about to change direction.

Another important concept in smart money market structure is liquidity. Liquidity


refers to how easy it is to buy or sell an asset. Assets with high liquidity are easy to
trade, while assets with low liquidity are more difficult to trade. Smart money traders
prefer to trade assets with high liquidity, as this makes it easier to enter and exit
trades without causing large price movements.

By understanding market structure and liquidity, smart money traders can gain an
edge over other market participants. This can help them to make more informed
trading decisions and increase their chances of success.
