EUR/GBP: how to identify a liquidity sweep (+ a technical bonus)
This idea will be both educational and technical.
First, we start with the educational part.
If someone were to ask me what a liquidity grab (Stop Loss hunt) really is, I would show them this specific chart illustration. If we take a deep look at the Daily-timeframe graph, we might observe how the price has been able to tap above/below wick rejections and top/bottom reversal formations before aggressively impulsing in pre-determined destinations. This happens for the sole reason of taking out early entrants, who tend to place their Stop Loss orders a few pips above/below identified reversal patterns, before riding the wave in the pre-orchesrated direction.
Marked by a red line, we have mapped some of the recent initial reversal legs, all of which are followed by liquidity taps above/below the formed wick candles and a major reversal levels. It can be inferred how the price tends to make manoeuvres and trick masses into believing that impulses have already commenced, which forces traders into making irrationally rushed decisions and opening transactions with their SL orders set a few ticks above the recent wick. The rest is known: the price prints a leg to the upside/downside, taps into the liquidity pool, then carries on acting as planned and destined.
From the technical standpoint, the price has tapped into the Weekly timeframe lows and is on the verge of leaving a potential wick candle and impulsing towards the south in the direction of the recent Lows as painted on our graphic. Combining that with the Daily-timeframe identification of a probable liquidity sweep, we are confident about going short and targeting the zone we have identified on the chart.
For further reference, I am attaching a recent educational post of ours on the same theme published last month (“Avoid getting trapped and hunted by market sharks”).
