The birthday sale wraps up this Sunday, prices will never be this low again. Here are this weeks trades:

Context
Attention was locked on the last major long area a Weekly naked POC sitting below price. Before it was reached, the TPO POC had already been cleared. Slightly lower, the weekly volume nPOC remained untouched. That untapped level became the high-probability target and the logical area to stalk a reaction.

Setup
As price swept into the weekly nPOC everything lined up at once. Large liquidations hitting, significant Open Interest dropping, strong negative delta, heavy bid-side liquidity visible on the order book, and large spot sells being absorbed into resting bid-side limits. The alert on the weekly nPOC had been set in advance when price arrived, the flow confirmation was immediate. Liquidity sweep, liquidation event, and absorption all at a major area of interest. Exactly the combination needed.

Entry
Long taken on the reaction from the weekly nPOC as the full confluence cluster confirmed.

Exit / Management
Price delivered around +1.5% from entry. Partial profits taken during the move. Larger TP1 targeted at the developing daily POC, which was tagged cleanly. After the Daily POC was reached, price rejected and created new lows. Remaining position stopped out at breakeven. Trade closed as a solid profitable outcome overall.

Context
A poor low was on the radar and it got taken out. Reading the flow at that point told the full story, only longs being forced out, shorts had the upper hand. No aggressive shorts to trap anywhere, so no reason to chase. The next level of interest was the VWAP close sitting below a prime candidate for an SFP style trade.

Setup
Price arrived at the VWAP close level. The inverse chart gave a perfect tap, perps not as clean, leaving the door open for another stab if needed. An alert had been set on the VWAP close well in advance, so the level was being watched the moment price approached. The SFP setup triggered cleanly off the inverse tap.

Entry
Long taken on the SFP at the VWAP close level.

Exit / Management
First move delivered 2.5% with continuation following. TPs taken after the usual 1% with the remainder running into the move. As price came back into the low the same pattern appeared: more longs being stopped out rather than fresh aggressive shorts entering. The shorts that did show up pushed lower but nothing was trapped. No reason to re-enter again.

Context
The main idea was straightforward: trade a weekly candle imbalance fill. Every major rotation within the range had started after price filled a weekly imbalance area. That statistical edge made it a logical place to look for longs. The goal was simple: wait for the fill, enter on a lower timeframe, keep invalidation as tight as possible.

Setup
As price completed the weekly imbalance fill, positive order book imbalance appeared on both spot and futures. Some spot selling was being absorbed into support. The market reacted exactly where expected clean and by the book.

Entry
Long taken on the weekly imbalance fill as flow confirmed support stepping in.

Exit / Management
After the imbalance cleared, Open Interest started rising predominantly on positive delta new longs aggressively entering the market. That's often a warning sign rather than confirmation. Late longs chasing a move increases the probability of a pullback to stop them out first. In hindsight that was the signal to move the stop to breakeven and protect the position. Price rotated lower before reaching TP1 and the trade didn't develop further, stopped out. Not every setup delivers, but the read and the process were right throughout.

Context
Coming off last week's long trades on metals, the bias was already set, look for dips into continuation. After running into resistance, Gold, Silver and Copper all pulled back cleanly. Rather than chasing, the plan was to wait for aggression at the right spots across all three.

Setup
Each market gave its own confirmation. Gold took out high liquidation levels flagged on the liquidation heatmap, the kind of sweep that clears the weak hands before the move. Silver backtested a trendline for the second time, adding weight to the level holding. On Copper, price came into an anchored VWAP backtest zone that had been shared earlier in the day as the long area to watch alert already set.

Entry
Longs taken across Gold, Silver and Copper as each market confirmed aggression at its respective level.

Exit / Management
Continuation from last week's thesis playing out. Dip bought into the same trend, same process metals running higher off well-defined levels across three markets simultaneously.
