ForexX Smart Money Trap
On the 30-minute timeframe, a contraction has formed, signaling what is commonly referred to as a Forex Master Pattern—a smart money trap. This contraction is a deliberate setup, crafted to prepare for a significant move that some traders have anticipated while others remain unprepared. A major correction is looming.
Typically, contractions occur on higher timeframes, but in this case, the lack of sufficient structure made the 30-minute timeframe adequate for this setup. The contraction pattern indicates a consolidation phase where price tightens, creating the illusion of a breakout opportunity. Bitcoin, after piercing through the Money True Value Line, sharply reversed downward. This movement confirms that the earlier upward push was nothing more than a bull trap designed to mislead traders into false confidence.
However, the rejection at this level wasn’t arbitrary—it served a purpose. It signals an impending larger move, aligning with the intentions of smart money to clear weak positions and create opportunities for their next play. For more insights into the reasoning behind this rejection and the broader implications of the pattern, please refer to the next idea. This is where the true strategy becomes clear.
