{quote} Don't you think it could be a trap for buyers?
haha.. See how AI have explained to me what LIQUIDITY SWEEPS are, something we saw several times throughout the day today.

Simple explanation:
A fisherman (a large player) wants to buy a lot of EUR/USD (i.e., bet on the uptrend).
But to buy a lot, he needs someone to sell. When everyone is already in BUY positions (like you), there's no one to buy from!
So what does the fisherman do?
He makes a sudden drop – on purpose.
1. People get scared.
2. They sell, close longs (meaning... they enter SELL or give BUY).
3. SL (sell orders) are triggered.
And just when there's a lot of fear and selling, the large player buys everything – cheaply.
Then suddenly – the price reverses. Why?
Because he's already bought, so he can push the price up.

I love this explanation
I was a second away to CLOSE my LONG positions...

Agree! Liquidity sweeps can happen on intraday basis at small timeframes like 15 min. These are my favourite for everyday trading!

We are in the final session of the day, EU bears can't strike this beneath 11710, much less 11680. Not sure how you're so confident..

I turned BULLISH watching S/B volume on the last 4 X 1H hours candles.. Each one of these was a huge volume filled by BUYERS...
Only the current one is filled with the SELL orders... probably in panic...
I hope when BULLs buy it back from panicked sellers, it might push the price further up... but.. you never know..
I still keep my LONGS but am ready to escape when things go wrong.

IMO, nothing much is going to happen till tomorrow with all the data.

At this point, EU bulls are happy to just...let this float.

Bears are the ones who have to hit this under 11710 and 11680. The pressure is on the bears.

I know how but will not tell you! Anything can happen with less probability but need to always watch. If a break happens below todays low then this is the target. Bulls need to go above the falling trendline and beat 1.1761 also!

Just for the fun of it..let's pick a number and say if we close above or below?
I pick 117, but give me yours and we can adjust.
Lol.
Again, just for fun.

Alright. I take it you are betting it closes below. I will have to take the notion for above then.
