@cryptotrading_insights: Types of Liquidity Every ICT Trader Should Know | BSL & SSL, Sessions Liquidity, Equal Highs/Lows Types of Liquidity in ICT SMC Liquidity is one of the core ideas in ICT/SMC. In simple terms, liquidity refers to areas where a concentration of pending orders and stop-loss orders may exist. These areas often form around obvious highs and lows. 1. Trendline Liquidity When multiple highs or lows respect a trendline, traders often place stops around that trendline. A move through the trendline can therefore act as a liquidity event. 2. Equal Highs & Equal Lows Equal Highs (EQH) can represent Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) above the highs, while Equal Lows (EQL) can represent Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) below the lows. 3. Old Highs & Old Lows Previous significant swing highs and lows can remain relevant liquidity pools. Price may return to these levels later to seek liquidity. 4. Session Highs & Lows Asian, London, and New York session highs/lows can become intraday liquidity references. For example, the Asian high may become a BSL target and the Asian low an SSL target. 5. Previous Day High & Low PDH = Previous Day High → BSL PDL = Previous Day Low → SSL These are important intraday reference levels and are commonly monitored as potential liquidity targets. 6. Previous Week High & Low PWH/PWL provide higher-timeframe liquidity references. They can become significant targets when the market expands beyond the current week's range. 7. Previous Month High & Low Monthly highs and lows are even higher-timeframe reference points. When price approaches these levels, traders can watch for a liquidity sweep, continuation, or rejection depending on the broader market context. How to Use Liquidity A simple ICT-style framework is: Identify Liquidity → Determine the Draw on Liquidity → Wait for the Sweep → Look for Displacement/MSS → Enter from a PD Array → Target Opposing Liquidity. For example: SSL Sweep → Bullish MSS/Displacement → FVG/OB Entry → Target BSL or BSL Sweep → Bearish MSS/Displacement → FVG/OB Entry → Target SSL The important point is that liquidity itself is not automatically an entry signal. A sweep needs context and confirmation; price can also sweep a level and continue in the same direction. Key Concept «Price often moves from one pool of liquidity to another.» So instead of simply asking “Where should I enter?”, an ICT trader can first ask: “Where is the liquidity, and what is the likely Draw on Liquidity (DOL)?” #ICT #ICTTrading #ICTConcepts #SMC #SmartMoneyConcepts
