This trade demonstrates the importance of structure, patience, and precision. Here's a detailed breakdown of how we identified, planned, and executed this winning setup:
🔍 Pre-Trade Analysis:
1️⃣ Market Structure Shift (MSS):
The downtrend showed signs of exhaustion as price created a higher low, signaling a potential reversal.
A Break of Structure (BOS) confirmed bullish momentum.
2️⃣ Liquidity Sweep:
Price swept liquidity below the previous low, creating a perfect entry opportunity at the demand zone.
This liquidity grab provided confirmation that smart money was entering the market.
3️⃣ Entry Zone (Demand Zone):
After the MSS, price retraced into a refined Order Block, offering a high-probability entry.
The retracement aligned perfectly with the Fibonacci golden pocket for added confluence.
🎯 Trade Execution:
✅ Entry:
Entered long after price tapped into the Order Block with bullish confirmation candle (Hammer Candle).
✅ Stop Loss:
SL placed just below the Order Block to account for volatility while protecting capital.
✅ Take Profit:
Targeted a clean breakout to higher levels, capturing the full upside of the bullish momentum.
