Smart Money / ICT

SMC and ICT focus on how large institutions move price. Key concepts:

  • Liquidity — clusters of stop orders (above highs, below lows) that big players target.
  • Liquidity sweep — price spikes past a level to grab those stops, then reverses.
  • Break of Structure (BOS) — confirmation the trend is continuing or shifting.
  • Order block — the institutional candle before a strong move; price often returns to it.
  • Fair Value Gap (FVG) — an imbalance price tends to refill.
