If you:
1. Mark wrong BOS/CHoCH
2. Get stopped out by few pips and price flly without you
3. Miss trades due to BOS/CHoCH
4. You POI is not respected
Keep reading🧡

First, we need to understand the difference between Interbank and retail method when it comes to analyzing market structure
Retail see the market as normal highs & lows, but interbank see it as seeking liquidity & rebalancing FVGs, with Long, short, and intermediate term swings
Not understanding market structure like an interbank trader will lead you to fall victim to false BOS/CHoCH. Many people will mark this as CHoCH when it is wrong. When you know this is ITL and not a short term low (usually swept) you will know where the true market structure is
Long-Term Swings (LTH/LTL) are swings that reacted from resistance zone (OB/FVG) or a sweep in the higher time frame (4H/1D) and it is followed by break in market structure
This high will give you narrative. It works as a shield or a protection and mostly won't be broken
Examples on the Long-Term Swing are shown. The first one is price clearly react from that OB+FVG on 1D TF causing CHoCH which confirms it is LTH followed by ITH which I will cover later in this thread. The second example is the same but based on sweep
Notice how trend changes
Short-Term Swings (STH/STL) are normal swing points that have liquidity either above or below usually in the LTF
This is where most people get trapped marking wrong structure
In the example, we can see both BSL and SSL are taken at the end, and that what always happen.
Liq is always turtled soup [swept] 🐒🐒
As a rule of thumb in LTF, STH/STL are swept into a HTF PD array so an ITH/ITL is created to confirm the real structure. Spend sometime to look at this diagram. This happens most of the time..
Now comes the most important part,
Intermediate Term High/Low (ITH/ITL) and this what we really need to focus on and consider. This is the real structure, the real framework. This is what you use to decide if your idea is valid or invalid, and where to put your SL.
ITH/ITL can be formed in two main ways,
The classic one is when there is a swing that is between two STH/STL, then the middle one is ITH/ITL
This confirms a break in market structure, and you can look for safe entries after the STH/STL is created or before for a risky one
The second type (more important) is the rebalanced ITH/ITL
It is when price reaches a FVG and react from there mostly causing CHoCH, followed by a failure swing (STH/STL) where you can enter the trade
Notice how the intermediate confirms the trend after the confirmed Long-Term
Putting all together, price first reacts from HTF resistance zone with CHoCH confirming the siwng. Price keeps going down leaving a FVG which is filled later to create our ITH/ITL (exta confirmation) and usually followed by a failure swing with POI inside for much safer entry!
HTF Sweep gives a narrative that we may go up now, but before that, we have a candle that fills a FVG clearly creating ITH, and it is also the last clear swing before the sweep. The real structure is the inttermediate which makes this a strong CHoCH
This is what you want to seeπŸ”₯
Bonus Tip🀚
Stop missing trades and use ITH/ITL as CHoCH
Our classic CHoCH is when we have a sweep and we look for the last swing before, but what if price did not give that sweep but created a failure swing?
If that last swing is ITH/ITL, and price closes above, we can take it!
