EURUSD bearish setup chart showing liquidity sweep and supply zone



📊 EURUSD Institutional Market Analysis
Date: 2026-05-04
Time: BD Time 8.16PM


🧭 Trend Direction:
Higher timeframe (D1 → 4H) shows a bearish continuation structure after distribution. The 4H chart formed a clear BOS to the upside followed by CHOCH, indicating a transition from bullish to bearish order flow. Lower highs (LH) are forming under the weak high zone around 1.1780–1.1850.

On H1, price already confirmed bearish CHOCH + BOS, shifting structure downward. On 15M, the market is currently in a pullback phase inside bearish structure, printing minor HH/HL but still within a higher timeframe bearish context. This suggests a liquidity grab before continuation down.


🪄 Technical Price Action:
Price is currently trading near equilibrium around 1.1715, reacting between:

  • Resistance (Premium Zone): 1.1730 – 1.1780
  • Support (Discount Zone): 1.1660 – 1.1680

The market is forming range-bound consolidation after a bearish impulse, indicating smart money accumulation/distribution. Strong rejection from the upper supply confirms institutional selling pressure.


🪁 Smart Money Concept (SMC):

  • Buy-side liquidity: Above 1.1750 and major pool at 1.1780 (Weak High)
  • Sell-side liquidity: Below 1.1680 and extended pool near 1.1650

Recent move shows a liquidity sweep above minor highs (inducement) followed by rejection. This confirms smart money trapping buyers before pushing price lower.

Next probable move:
➡️ Sweep internal highs → tap supply → drop to take sell-side liquidity (SSL)


📊 Volume Profile + Institutional Flow:

  • POC: Around 1.1710 (current price equilibrium)
  • VAH: 1.1740
  • VAL: 1.1680

Price is rejecting near VAH repeatedly, indicating distribution zone.
80% Rule suggests:
➡️ If price re-enters value area from above → high probability move toward VAL (1.1680).


⚡ ICT Power of 3 Strategy | 1H Model:

  • Accumulation: Range around 1.1700
  • Manipulation: Spike toward 1.1760 (liquidity grab)
  • Distribution: Ongoing bearish expansion

Current phase: Distribution (Sell continuation expected)


📉 CCI + MACD Strategy:

  • CCI: Recently overbought → now dropping, indicating bearish momentum
  • MACD: Bearish crossover confirmed on lower timeframe

Momentum aligns with downside continuation after pullback


🧠 Institutional Levels:

  • Bearish Order Block: 1.1730 – 1.1750
  • Major Supply Zone: 1.1750 – 1.1780
  • Demand Zone: 1.1660 – 1.1680
  • FVG: Around 1.1725 – 1.1740 (mitigation zone)

Price is currently reacting inside mitigation + OB zone → high probability sell area


💹 RSI & Volume Confirmation:

  • RSI: Near 50–55 → losing bullish strength
  • Volume: Decreasing on pullback → no strong buying interest

This confirms weak retracement before bearish continuation


🌍 Fundamental Bias:
USD remains relatively strong due to interest rate stability expectations and cautious risk sentiment. EUR is under pressure from weaker economic outlook.
➡️ Bias remains bearish EURUSD


🔐 EURUSD Sniper Trading Plan:


📉 SELL SETUP (Primary Scenario)
Entry Zone: 1.1725 – 1.1740
Stop Loss: 1.1785
Target 1: 1.1685
Target 2: 1.1660
Target 3: 1.1620


Logic:Price is expected to retrace into bearish order block + FVG + VAH rejection zone, where institutions previously distributed positions. This aligns with liquidity inducement + PO3 distribution phase. MACD bearish crossover + weak volume confirms continuation.


📈 BUY SETUP (Counter Scenario)
Entry Zone: 1.1660 – 1.1680
Stop Loss: 1.1630
Target 1: 1.1710
Target 2: 1.1740
Target 3: 1.1760


Logic:If price sweeps sell-side liquidity and taps strong demand, expect short-term bullish reaction. This would be a counter-trend liquidity bounce, not a reversal.


🎭 Market Summary:
EURUSD is currently in a bearish distribution phase after liquidity grab. Short-term pullbacks are being used by institutions to build sell positions. The overall bias remains bearish unless price breaks and holds above 1.1780.
