Market Analysis and Trading Strategies

Inside of the five-minute bearish breaker,

right here on this candle at three oh seven,

what's, what's occurring?

The market's trading up into the five-minute bearish breaker, which

is shaded in

this shaded area here. It's trading to the low of the inversion

fair value gap

that you're gonna draw from the five-minute chart.

It trades up to it here,

and this down closed candle right there.

"But ICT, look, it has that big wick." I don't give a shit.

That wick right there has no bearing on what it is I'm talking about.

The down close... I'm sorry, the up close rather, I said

that incorrectly, sorry.

The up close candle is a bearish order block.

So that up close candle, when it's trading to it here, there's

two things going on on the one-minute chart right there.

Two things are occurring. It's trading to

the

breaker

and inversion fair value gap on the five-minute time frame.

And on the one-minute chart, it's trading up into a bearish order

block.

So when you see folks out there saying order blocks are just engulfing candles,

that's horseshit too. It has nothing to do with engulfing

anything.

When the price is in a sell side delivery, okay, in other

words, we-- at three o'clock the, the price starts its run,

and the macro begins seeking sell side, which is right in here,

and aiming for lower sell side liquidity, which is below

old lows or s-singular low.

Every single time the market creates a up

close candle in that sell side delivery price run, in other words,

you're calling it a trending market. This is not a trending market.

This is just a market that's declining.

So that's why I don't use those terms trending because price swings are not

trends.

They're not to me. They're price runs.

So if I'm expecting and anticipating price running to lower

targets into a discount, either for the purposes of going

to a fair value gap that's lower than market price

or to a low or relative equal lows for sell side

liquidity, either one of those scenario

will

provide me the context to anticipate lower prices.

While I'm watching price,

if I see something like this where we open,

we trade down, and we rally up like this, if I'm short,

I'm not freaking out over that. I wanna see how we see

the first up close candle when sell side begins its delivery.

Because once that first...

Once we get our price run here at three o'clock and we snap below that candle that

created it, what, what kind of candle is that? Is it up close or down close?

Up close. So when we break below that, I wanna see

when price starts to run, we're in an area where I anticipate

what? What's the inversion fair value gap

expected to do? Create a resistance factor in price.

It should accumulate more shorts.

It should offer smart money the opportunity to get in and add or,

like you see me many times do, pyramid more short positions in an

existing short position.

Our next

up close candle is this one.

Does it respect it? I don't know. What does it do on this one?

Does it bump the bottom of it and run lower? The next candle? Yes.
