Gold

2714 right?

Caution because most likely we are going to last day open.

Still 2638 is a target if doesn't close below that the daily.

This image, in my opinion, does not accurately represent true order flow. To clarify, Maria's explanation is partially correct. When you place a stop-loss order for a trade, it does not immediately appear in the order book. Why? Because a stop-loss order is conditional by nature. It remains inactive until the market price reaches the specified stop price, also known as the trigger price.

Once the stop price is reached, the stop-loss order is converted into a market order (or sometimes a limit order). At this point, the order becomes visible in the order book as a regular market or limit order. Until then, stop-loss orders are typically managed off the order book by your broker or trading platform.
Now, the question arises: What triggers stop-loss orders? This is where the concept of a stop hunt comes into play. A stop hunt occurs when the price is intentionally pushed to trigger stop-loss orders placed by large institutions, liquidity providers, or even retail traders at specific price levels. This often causes a temporary price spike or drop before the market reverses and moves in the original direction.

By nature, Stop-loss orders are frequently placed around key levels such as support, resistance, round numbers, whole numbers, quarter levels, or half levels. These levels create liquidity pockets, which are attractive targets for liquidity hunts. A liquidity hunt can occur at a specific level or span an entire session.

For example, observe what happened today during the U.S. session: a classic "pump and dump" scenario. The market was pushed up by 146 pips, only to reverse sharply by 122 pips. This movement is a textbook example of a liquidity grab. As Monday is a holiday, today’s session was likely used as a significant liquidity grab.

Attached are two charts just to have an idea of how stop hunts and liquidity grab look like and what goes on inside a candle. order book wont tell you that, only footprints will and yes they are expensive and paid.

I knew that sooner or later the manipulators would appear. I ask one and I get the answer from the other. They work as a team like bullfighters' gangs. As I said, we are going to have a great time.
