Letโs take a simple look the price movement on GBPUSD, โ just for learning ๐
๐น 1. Market Trend Shift
Price was going down for a while, but then it suddenly moved up strongly, breaking previous highs. This tells us the downtrend might be over, and an uptrend could be starting.
๐น 2. Liquidity Grab (Stop Hunt)
Before the big move up, price dropped below a key low at 1.31669. This likely hit many tradersโ stop-losses (especially those who were buying early), giving liquidity to the big players. This is called a liquidity sweep.
๐น 3. Smart Entry Zone (Order Block)
After grabbing that liquidity, price shot up, then came back to a zone where big buyers likely entered before โ we call this a bullish order block. Itโs often a place where institutions re-enter the market.
๐น 4. Why This Matters
When you see:
โ๏ธ A break of structure to the upside
โ๏ธ A sweep of stop-losses (liquidity grab)
โ๏ธ Price returning to a strong demand zone (order block)
โฆit can be a sign that price is about to push higher.

This is a buy (long) position on the CAD/JPY.
Price recently dropped and hit a strong support area, where buyers are likely to step in. We believes this area is where the market might reverse and start going up.
Whatโs the Goal?
The goal is for price to move upwards toward a zone where previous sellers were active this is marked as the Order Block (OB). Before reaching that, price is expected to first grab liquidity (LQ) this means triggering stop-losses above recent highs, which helps fuel upward movement.
Risk vs Reward:
The trade has a well-defined stop loss (grey box) to limit loss if the market goes down. The target (green box) is much larger, offering a good risk-to-reward ratio. This means the potential profit is greater than the possible loss.
Trade Idea:
We buying from the current support zone
Expect price to move up, break short-term highs (grab liquidity), and possibly reach the order block
Secure a good reward while managing risk.
