this is a clean ICT / SMC concept chart showing a full trade model built around Liquidity Sweep β IFVG β Entry β Target. Iβll break it down professionally and simply, step by step so you can actually use it in live trading.
π What This Chart Is Showing (Big Picture)
This is a high-probability reversal model where:
* Market grabs liquidity (BSL)
* Fakes continuation
* Returns inside range
* Creates IFVG (Inversion Fair Value Gap)
* Gives entry on retracement
* Then moves toward sell-side liquidity (SSL)
β‘ Step-by-Step Breakdown
1οΈβ£ Liquidity Sweep (BSL Taken)
* Price moves up and takes Buy Side Liquidity (BSL)
* This is where retail traders enter buys late
* Smart money is actually preparing to reverse
π Key Insight:
Liquidity is fuel β market needs it before reversing
2οΈβ£ Rejection After Sweep
* After sweeping highs, price fails to continue
* You see strong rejection candles
* This confirms potential shift in direction
π This is NOT entry yet β just confirmation phase
3οΈβ£ FVG Formation in the Move Down
* During the drop, a Fair Value Gap (FVG) is created
* When price returns to the range, that FVG gets violated
* This turns it into an IFVG (Inversion FVG)
π Important Concept:
* Normal FVG = continuation
* IFVG = reversal confirmation
4οΈβ£ Entry at IFVG (High Probability Zone)
* Price retraces back into the IFVG zone (orange area)
* This is your entry point
β Entry Type:
* Sell from IFVG zone
* Confirmation (optional): rejection candle / lower timeframe BOS
β Stop Loss:
* Above the IFVG / recent high
π This is the smart money entry, not the top
5οΈβ£ Target (Draw on Liquidity - DOL)
* Price moves down toward Sell Side Liquidity (SSL)
* This is your target zone
π Always aim for:
* Equal lows
* Previous swing lows
* Liquidity pools
π§ Key Concepts Used Here
* BSL (Buy Side Liquidity) = Above highs
* SSL (Sell Side Liquidity) = Below lows
* FVG (Fair Value Gap) = Imbalance
* IFVG (Inversion FVG) = Flipped imbalance (strong reversal signal)
* DOL (Draw on Liquidity) = Where price is heading
β οΈ Common Mistakes to Avoid
β Entering immediately after sweep
β Ignoring IFVG confirmation
β Trading without liquidity target
β Entering in the middle (no edge)
π‘ Pro Tip (Advanced ICT Insight)
The strongest setups happen when:
* Sweep occurs at HTF level (H1 / H4)
* Entry is refined on LTF (M5 / M15)
* IFVG aligns with:
* Order Block
* Premium zone (for sells)
