🧠 Institutional Context & Smart Money Bias
This EURGBP chart offers a masterclass in engineered liquidity and market traps. Institutions have created an illusion of bullish strength through:
A manipulated rounded accumulation curve
A controlled channel phase
A false breakout above the reversal zone
These are textbook signals that the retail crowd is being misled, while smart money is preparing for a deeper move. Let’s dissect it step by step.
📊 Phase-by-Phase Technical Breakdown
🔻 1. Bearish Channel – Sentiment Shaping Phase
From July 11 to July 21, the pair traded within a descending parallel channel, forming a bearish market structure.
This phase was not a genuine trend, but a sentiment builder—to:
Create a belief in continued bearishness
Gather liquidity around the channel boundaries
The upper and lower bounds of the channel were respected precisely, revealing market maker intent.
📈 2. Parabolic Curve Support – Trap Engineered
Price transitioned out of the channel into a rounded bullish curve—a visual cue suggesting accumulation and strength.
This curved trendline often misleads retail traders into thinking a breakout rally is coming.
Price surged aggressively toward the Previous Reversal Zone, further fueling FOMO buys.
But this move was not sustainable. Why?
➡️ Because it lacked a clean base and was built off a manipulated liquidity sweep. The curve was a setup.
🟥 3. Previous Reversal Zone & Major BOS – Institutional Exit Point
Price entered the Previous Reversal Zone, a marked area of prior supply.
This is where institutional orders were likely resting.
After briefly exceeding the previous high, the market instantly reversed with force—evidence of:
Stop hunts
Distribution
Smart money selling into retail breakout buyers
The Major BOS (Break of Structure) confirms the shift: The trend is no longer bullish.
⚠️ 4. Curve Support Breakdown – Structure Shift Triggered
After peaking, the price violated the curve support, confirming the bullish trap.
This breakdown signals a phase transition:
From accumulation illusion → distribution reality
From retail optimism → smart money unloading
🟨 5. Central Zone – Decision Point
Price is now hovering at the Central Zone, a region of equilibrium between buyers and sellers.
This is where market makers may:
Redistribute for another leg down
Fake a pullback before continuing lower
Temporarily rally to trap more longs
This area will determine short-term directional bias. That’s why your setup smartly outlines two conditions from this point.
🔀 Trade Scenarios – MMC Conditions
🔻 Condition 1: Bearish Continuation Toward Next Reversal Zone
If the price rejects the Central Zone and begins forming lower highs and bearish structures:
Expect further downside
This confirms the market is in redistribution mode
Target: Next Reversal Zone at 0.8630–0.8640
💡 Rationale: Institutions are driving price back into demand zones to grab new liquidity or fill leftover buy orders.
🔁 Condition 2: Temporary Recovery & Trap Continuation
If price holds above the Central Zone and breaks short-term highs:
A short-term bullish rally may occur
Likely targets: 0.8675–0.8685
This may act as a fake-out rally, creating more buying interest before a deeper dump
💡 Rationale: Smart money may induce more buyers to create fresh liquidity pockets before dropping toward the next reversal zone.
🔐 Key MMC Zones & Structure Levels
Zone/Level Purpose
0.8695–0.8700 Previous Reversal Zone / Major BOS – Institutional distribution area
0.8660–0.8665 Central Zone – Mid-point equilibrium & battle zone
0.8630–0.8640 Next Reversal Zone – Potential bullish interest area for demand

🧠 Smart Money Summary
This chart showcases a multi-stage smart money plan:
Create channel to shape bias
- Form curve to generate false hope
- Push into supply and trap late buyers
- Break curve support to shift structure
- Retest Central Zone to decide next manipulation leg
- Deliver price toward true unfilled demand zones
- This is how institutions engineer movement while retail gets trapped chasing direction.
