Smart Money Buy Setup | 1H Execution | Reversal from Demand Zone
Just hit full TP (396 pts) on a clean short from 3,434. Now flipping bias to long after price tapped into a key 4H OB and demand zone near 3,422. Price swept downside liquidity, mitigated the imbalance, and is now showing bullish intent.
⸻
🔄 Trade Narrative:
• ✅ Sell-side liquidity swept below previous HLs
• 🧱 Price tapped into 4H Order Block + FVG zone
• 💧 Internal liquidity vacuum filled (3,422–3,409)
• 🔁 Potential 1H BOS to the upside forming
• 🕯️ Bullish wick reaction from demand = early entry signal
• 📉 ATR low + building pressure = potential expansion incoming (likely NY)
Buy plan:
Entry Zone
3,422–3,424 (with confirmation on BOS)
Stop Loss
Below 3,409
TP1
3,434.435 (prior supply tap)
TP2
3,439.210 (range high)
TP3
3,455–3,460 (weekly extension target)
📌 Why I’m Flipping:
Price didn’t just reject randomly — it reacted exactly where smart money would’ve wanted to rebalance after the previous long impulse. This is the textbook scenario where you don’t marry a bias — just follow liquidity and structure.
🧠 Key Lessons:
• Don’t force continuation when the market is clearly absorbing
• Liquidity grabs often lead to strong reversals — watch BOS to confirm
• Same zone that gave you your TP? Can give you your next entry 💡
