I just launched a free 3-day SMC strategy course that walks through exactly how I trade structure, liquidity, and entries as a full-time trader. You can access it here: https://access.dailypriceaction.com/smc-strategy Markets are at a critical spot right now. In this SMC outlook, I'm walking through my exact trade plan for the DXY, euro, pound, gold, and Bitcoin heading into next week. The DXY is still sitting on that bullish change of character from the daily, and in my opinion this recent pullback has only strengthened the case for a higher low — but we still need a close above the recent range highs to confirm structurally that the low is in. Until that happens, it's speculative, and we could still see the DXY move lower toward the bottom of the descending channel before the higher low prints. The euro has been frustratingly back and forth on the lower timeframes, but the daily is what matters here. We had that bearish change of character, and now I'm watching for a potential lower high to develop off the top of the descending channel. If the market holds below that channel top, I still think the 1.16 area imbalance is in the cards over the coming days. The pound has been almost completely sideways since mid-April, which is why I haven't been trading it much. We do have a recent BOS above the highs, which makes the low around 1.345 the protected low. One four-hour close below there gives us the change of character and opens up the 1.33 imbalance. Until those lows are taken out, nothing is confirmed. Gold is where things got interesting today. We had the change of character on the lower timeframes, tapped into OTE, and we're still slightly in premium with the top of the descending channel right above. I shared my short entry with VIP members in real time and I'm running it as a tiered position — half size now, adding the rest on a close below the intraday low. First target sits around 4,600, with 4,300 and possibly the lower wick toward 4,200 below that if sellers can take out 4,660. Bitcoin is a longer-term hold for me. We've got the weekly bearish change of character, BTC is in premium, sitting at the top of the channel, and the flag-pole projection lines up almost exactly with the imbalance I've had on my chart for over a month down in the mid 40Ks. The 15-minute change of character today gave me my short entry. A lot of this depends on what equities do, and personally I think the S&P 500 is close to topping out as well.
