๐จ How to Avoid a FAKEOUT (The Smart Money Way)
Tired of getting trapped in fake breakouts? Retail traders buy the breakout. Smart Money hunts the liquidity. ๐ง ๐ง
Here is the exact 4-step recipe to enter safely:
1๏ธโฃ The Liquidity Sweep (The Trap)
Price pushes above a High (BSL) or below a Low, triggering retail stop losses. But look at the close! It closes with a Wick (Rejection). That is the trap.
2๏ธโฃ Market Structure Shift (MSS)
Price then aggressively reverses and breaks the recent structure (CHOCH). This confirms the trend has changed.
3๏ธโฃ Wait for the FVG
After the drop, price leaves a Fair Value Gap (Imbalance). DO NOT CHASE. Wait for the price to retrace back into the FVG.
4๏ธโฃ Candle Body Close (The Confirmation)
Do not enter on a wick! Wait for the candle BODY to close inside the FVG.
Example: Check the 5-min candle close, NOT just a 1-min wick.
Result? You enter short at the FVG, with Stop Loss safely above the wick, and target the nearest liquidity pool.
Stop guessing. Wait for the sweep, the structure shift, and the candle close. ๐ฏ
