1. Liquidity Grab Above PDHPrice moved above the PDH to hunt buy stops — this is where retail traders often place breakout buy orders.
2. Break in Market Structure (BMS)After the sweep above PDH, price dropped and made a lower high — a BMS indication (important for ICT confirmations).
3. Return to Fair Value Gap (FVG)You would look for a small Fair Value Gap (imbalance zone) on a lower timeframe (5m or 15m). If price returns to this FVG after the BMS, it gives a refined entry.
4. Entry Trigger Go short when price retraces to FVG just under PDH.
Confirm entry using a bearish order block or shift in structure on lower timeframes.
✅ Trade Plan
1. Entry: Around 2530–2550 (upon FVG revisit or order block confirmation).
2. Stop Loss: Above recent high (~2605).
3. Take Profit Targets: TP1: 2439 (Current support / midpoint).
4. TP2: 2315 (Previous Day Low).
TP3 (Runner): Optional continuation towards 2275 for extended move.
