📌What is SMC? The Strategy Behind the Banks
💼 Smart Money Concepts (SMC) isn’t just a trading style — it’s understanding how institutions really move the markets.
Here’s what you NEED to know if you’re serious about trading like the big players:
🔹 Liquidity is the Target:
Banks and institutions don’t chase price — they hunt your stop-losses. Liquidity pools (above highs, below lows) are magnets.
🔹 Break of Structure (BOS):
When price breaks a key high or low with momentum, it signals a potential shift in market direction — this is where Smart Money steps in.
🔹 Order Blocks (OB):
The last bullish or bearish candle before a major move is often where institutions left their footprint. Price often returns there before continuing.
🔹 Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
Imbalances in the market where price moves too fast without filling orders — Smart Money often brings price back to these zones.
🔹 Inducement & Trap Zones:
Retail traders get trapped in fake breakouts — Smart Money waits for the reaction after the trap to take a real position.
⚠️ If you’re still drawing trendlines and hoping for a bounce… it’s time to level up.
