BTCUSD 30M | OB Rejection + FVG Target | Liquidity Below

169
Smart Money Concept Breakdown | May 18, 2025

This BTC setup is screaming institutional manipulation — and we’re ready to ride the wave. The most recent candle shows another clean rejection from the 30M Order Block, giving high confidence in bearish continuation.

🔍 Key Breakdown:
Entry Confluence:

Bearish OB between 103,569–103,634 tapped with a perfect wick

Candle rejected CRT High (high-probability manipulation zone)

Rejection confirmed with a bearish engulfing candle structure

Target Mapping:

Sell Side Liquidity: 102,643.59

Fair Value Gap: 102,200 zone

Weak Low: 101,420.70 (likely final draw on liquidity)

RR Setup:

Entry: 103,570 zone

SL: Just above CRT High at 103,811

TP1: SSL pool

TP2: FVG

TP3: Weak Low

Risk-Reward Range: From 1:2.5 to 1:5+ 💰

🧠 Institutional Logic:
The rally into the OB was likely a buy-side liquidity grab, faking retail breakout traders before dropping. If price breaks below 102,643 with momentum, expect a sweep of the FVG and weak low.

🎯 Bonus Watch:
If price returns to the OB but fails to break CRT High again = solid re-entry confirmation 📉🧠

Trade closed: stop reached
📍 Trade Update:
✅ Setup triggered cleanly but no further momentum.
✅ Price returned to entry point = Breakeven secured! 🔒
🔥 Risk-free is still a win. Next sniper entry loading...
