ETHUSDT SMC Trade Analysis for 07/03/2025
Overall Market Bias (HTF Perspective): The Daily timeframe indicates a strong bearish market structure shift (MSS) below significant swing lows (around $2879). However, a recent aggressive bullish 4-hour market structure shift suggests a potential short-term reversal or a strong reaction from a deeper daily demand zone. The HTF is currently in a state of transition/uncertainty, with recent bullish momentum challenging the prior bearish order flow.
* Confidence Level: Medium (The MTF bullish structure is strong, but it's currently a counter-trend move within the broader HTF bearish structure. Prudent risk management and precise LTF confirmation are essential.)
* Position: Long
* Recommended Leverage: Max 20x (Emphasize strict risk management due to the mixed HTF bias and potential for continued volatility. Only risk a small percentage of capital per trade.)
* Entry Zone Target: Anticipating entry upon a deep pullback into the 4-hour Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $2495.03 and $2502.85. Optimal entry at the mean threshold of this FVG around $2498.00.
* Stop-Loss (SL) Level: $2485.00 (This SL is positioned just below the 4-hour FVG, providing a tight yet logical invalidation point assuming a confirmed LTF entry model. A break below this would suggest further downside targeting the 4-hour Order Block below.)
* Take Profit (TP) Level 1: $2607.00 (Targeting the high of the recent 4-hour bullish impulse that caused the MTF BOS.)
* Take Profit (TP) Level 2 (Optional): $2650.00 (Targeting further liquidity/resistance, potentially previous 4-hour supply or a mid-point within the larger daily bearish range. Partial profits should be taken at TP1 to reduce risk.)
* Point of Interest (POI) & Entry Model
* Entry is focused on the 4-hour Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $2495.03 and $2502.85. This FVG was left behind by the significant 4-hour bullish displacement (the candle opening at $2498.82 and closing at $2604.73) that caused the Market Structure Shift (MSS).
* This POI is considered high-probability because it represents a price inefficiency that price often revisits, and it is located within the discount range of the recent 4-hour bullish leg.
* Entry Confirmation: Wait for price to precisely tap into the 4-hour FVG. On the 15-minute timeframe, observe a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) or Change of Character (CHoCH) to the upside, accompanied by strong bullish displacement. Entry will be on the return to the new 15-minute Order Block or FVG created by this displacement, or after a sweep of a short-term low on the 15m immediately preceding the MSS.
* Market Structure & Liquidity Narrative:
* The Daily chart previously showed a strong bearish order flow, breaking previous swing lows from highs around $2879 down to lows near $2367. This established a bearish overarching bias on the highest timeframe.
* However, on the Medium Timeframe (4-hour), price recently displayed a clear bullish Market Structure Shift (MSS), aggressively breaking the prior 4-hour swing high at $2500.80. This indicates a potential internal structural reversal or a strong reaction to a significant demand zone on a higher timeframe. The current price action (last 4h candle at $2566.62) is showing a retracement from this recent 4h high.
* The current retracement on the 4-hour (and the ongoing bearish micro-structure on the 15-minute timeframe, with the latest low at $2563.99) is likely targeting internal liquidity to rebalance price before a potential continuation of the established 4-hour bullish move.
* The trade aims to capitalize on this renewed 4-hour bullish momentum after a retracement to a key inefficiency (FVG), with targets set at the recent 4-hour high (representing buy-side liquidity) and a higher structural level.
* The prior sweep of sell-side liquidity below lows around $2373.00 (before the major 4-hour bullish displacement) provided the necessary fuel for the subsequent rally.
