That sets your initial bias for the week. (Weekly bias) The market is drawing to 2 things; price is either running to take out highs and lows or running to fill an imbalance. When it's not doing those its consolidating, * The majority of finding the draw on liquidity will be found in the daily timeframe analysis. * Any time a significant price move lower/higher is expected, always anticipate some measure of a stop hunt on short-term highs, whether sell-side or buy-side liquidity. Example - see how the draw on liquidity was lower but traders who got in shorts early below the low were induced with the price running above the high which is buy-side liquidity. -ntps:foyar-apple-978.notion.siteMembers-2022-ICT-Mentorship-Notes-e7Sefod833a445 fac8319333445110a9722123, 10:12AM Members 2022 ICT Mentorship Notes 1250.00 15200.00 15150.00 15050.00 h me 1490.00 14800.00 4850.00 ‘th |= yet = 14600.00 1450.00 14800.00 a * When price runs highs/lows on higher timeframes we wait for a market structure shift (MSS) on lower timeframes.

I * We wait for the price to fill an imbalance such as an FVG once that MSS is created. The orange-shaded area is the fair value gap. It is from the 1st green candle low to the 3rd green candle high, the area in between that creates an imbalance which is labeled a FVG. Focus on the imbalance after the MSS. * Learn to trust going short as the market is moving higher into that imbalance. Selling green candles and buying red candles. Retail books tell you to wait for confirmation candles of a reversal which is BS and makes you chase higher prices. * Pay attention to when price creates a MSS and also creates an FVG while doing so. f * When we draw a Fib from the swing low to the swing high the 50% level is called the equilibrium, above the 50% level from an algorithmic perspective is called a premium, and below it is a discount. Targets can be placed below 50% of that swing move which would be in a discount but partials should also be taken below each low (sell side liquidity) -ntps:foyar-apple-978.notion.siteMembers-2022-ICT-Mentorship-Notes-e7Sefod833a445 fac8319333445110a9722923, 10:12AM ‘Mernbers 2022 ICT Mentorship Notes 14880.00 1840.00 o 4820.00 14700.00 4760.00 14740.00 i 4720.00 14700.00 14660.00 4640.00 4620.00 14690.00 14880.00 14300.00 > | 4540.00 10:00 10:20 11:00 1130 o 20:19:50 (UTC-5) ETH % log auto [) -ntps:foyar-apple-978.notion.siteMembers-2022-ICT-Mentorship-Notes-e7Sefod833a445 fac8319333445110a9722923, 10:12AM ‘Mernbers 2022 ICT Mentorship Notes * Within the discount of the range, we are looking for lows or imbalances (FVG) for targets, there is a fair value gap which is categorized as a buy-side imbalance and SellSide inefficacy (BIS FVG).

Extend out the open of the first down- dlose candle and watch how the price perfectly taps it and reverses. Sometimes it will be a series of candles other times it will be one singular candle. The reason is that on a higher timeframe, the series of down-close candles is just 1 singular candle that's why we use all of them in this case and extend out the opening of the first down-closed candle. -ntps:foyar-apple-978.notion.siteMembers-2022-ICT-Mentorship-Notes-e7Sefod833a445 fac8319333445110a 812639722923, 10:12AM ‘Mernbers 2022 ICT Mentorship Notes 1 y | ag Ih i O- * These 2 green candles are 1 consecutive bearish order block (extend out the opening price).
