Price is currently reacting to a 4H origin supply zone. At this critical point, the market may shift from its bullish trend to a potential bearish trend.

Here’s why a bearish move could unfold:

  • During the previous bearish trend, price grabbed liquidity that was resting above an unmitigated demand zone. A liquidity grab occurs when the market moves to trigger stop-losses or orders before reversing, often leading to strong directional moves.
  • Importantly, price closed below the liquidity, after the liquidity grab, making it a valid leg of structure (LOS) with a fresh origin supply zone—a clear price movement defining market intent.
  • Since this is a confirmed supply zone, sellers may regain control here.

What to Watch for Before Selling

  • Confirmation of a Bearish Trend Change: Wait for price to break and close below the latest demand zone formed during the bullish trend.
  • Once price does this, it means it has formed a bearish leg of structure. Use the Fibonacci retracement to enter at the 50% or 61.8% level .
  • Place your stop loss above the high of the bearish LOS.
  • Target: Aim for the lower low (LL), where price previously found support.

Key Takeaways

  • Wait for clear structure breaks before taking action.
  • Set your stops and targets according to your risk management rules.

Stay patient, disciplined, and trade with a plan. Let me know your thoughts—are you ready to take advantage of this week’s setup?
