You can see it just Falls just sort of that that's okay it doesn't need to go there it's better for it to not go there and stay below it. Why? Why is it beneficial for the market to do that, to trade not to it and remain below it? Because it indicates it's what heavy.
<aside> <img src="/icons/drafts_yellow.svg" alt="/icons/drafts_yellow.svg" width="40px" /> It's all open High Low and close and what time of day is it, that's it. That's all I'm doing. That's all I'm doing: buy-side liquidity, sell-side liquidity, inefficiencies, and building a narrative.

What time frame are you looking at? This is an hourly chart. There should be a lot of emphasis placed on an hourly chart because it's an integral part of intraday price action. Because it's a significant time, there's only so many hours in a session. So if you see a high that's on a 60-minute time frame, it's a very significant aspect to determining what level of liquidity you should be focusing on right now, Cameron has to aim for an hourly or 15-minute minimum pool of liquidity. There has to be something he's aiming for, preferably the hourly or the 15-minute time frame.
Where is it going to go up into this shaded area? How far can it go? We don't want to see it trade to the half of it and higher because then it erases its effectiveness as an indication that it reached up there just to go lower. Because if it went all the way up here to close it, that's a little bit problematic. We want to see it go there and stop at or short of the halfway point. If it avoids going in the upper half of it, that's exactly the signature I'm looking for and requiring of that PD array, that four-hour fair value Gap, that shaded blue here. That very idea of it not getting to the halfway point or consequent encouragement of it, it failed to get there, that's what ICT used to enter. That's exactly why he entered💎 because this run up here, when it was running up there, it couldn't jump right to the halfway point, it stopped short of it, that was the very signature.”

💎That's the very thing because we don't want to see it run real quick into halfway point above it because then we’re wrong. What would happen if it did that? Would you trade short? No, we’re gonna wait for a shift in Market structure later on, maybe in 2022 or something to that effect. This is how you differentiate when you run and trade a turtle soup.
The idea of running into liquidity for the sake of fading it, using it as counterparty, handshaking with it, that's what smart money does. These three specific price levels.
🪧 Hello, that's exactly what Smart money looks for. That's the waiting point, that's the billboard sign when you're driving down 95 and you're looking for the exit ramp🪧
They're looking at time and price. High-frequency trading algorithms are looking for this signature here that engages with the algorithm that books price, that controls price. It's rigged; it does what it needs to do based on a script. It's like a video game; it has boundaries. It's not going to go here; it's not going to go there; it's going to do everything it's going to do in that range until manual intervention. Manual intervention will take it out of autopilot, and then you'll see this massive repricing higher, lower. What does it look like? How does it become visible in price action? Rate announcements, unexpected rate announcements, non-farm payroll, CPI, all these big red folder events. They are times when they're signaling, 'Hey, the algorithm will do what it's going to do,' but these are times when it's advantageous to us to upset sentiment or engineer new sentiment in the marketplace, to inspire interest in a market or dissuade folks from being so interested in another market. Manual intervention comes in, and they will manually reprice to a level, and that's why you see these sudden, 'What the hell just happened?'
