This was a textbook setup. Clean structure, high-probability narrative, and the kind of zone that doesn’t ask for your belief — it commands it.
Breakdown:
Price delivered a sharp move into a 1H OB confluence with an untouched 60min FVG sitting just below. That OB wasn’t noise — it was a true origin point, the last down candle before a major rally.
As price retraced, it swept short-term liquidity and tapped into that OB with precision. I watched volume spike on the drop — not retail fear, but Smart Money engineering the entry.
The 0.1795 zone wasn’t random. It was deliberate. A key equilibrium between displacement and rebalancing. And if this holds, the next logical draw is above 0.1860 — into the unmitigated FVG and resting buy-side liquidity.
Expectation:
From this 1H OB / FVG stack, I’m looking for:
Entry: ~0.1795
SL: Just under the 1.0 fib — under 0.1777
TP1: Mid FVG at 0.1831 (0.5)
TP2: Full inefficiency fill at 0.1887
I’m not forcing anything. If the market wants lower, there’s another FVG just below to absorb it — but structure still favors premium re-pricing.
Final note:
I don’t chase breakouts. I trap Smart Money setups, wait in silence — and strike when the chart gives me the story.
