Understanding the direction of the week is one of the most powerful skills a trader can develop. Not because it makes you right every time — but because it gives you a framework, a bias, and a target 🎯. Without those, trading becomes emotional guessing.
This blog breaks down a high-probability, repeatable approach to weekly direction using:
- Liquidity 💧
- Previous highs & lows 📊
- Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
- Time-of-day execution (Silver Bullet model)
🧭 Step 1: Define the Weekly Draw on Liquidity
Every trading week expands toward liquidity — not randomly.
Ask this first:
👉 Is price more likely to expand higher or lower this week?
You are not predicting — you are identifying the most likely draw.
Key Weekly Liquidity Targets:
- Previous week’s high 🟢
- Previous week’s low 🔴
- Imbalance / Fair Value Gaps on weekly & daily charts
- Old highs/lows that have not been traded into
Once you identify the likely draw, you do not change it emotionally. This becomes your weekly narrative.
📊 Step 2: Use the Last 3 Days’ Highs & Lows (Your Daily Compass)
One of the most underrated tools in trading is previous daily highs and lows.
The Six Levels That Never Hide:
- High of yesterday
- Low of yesterday
- High of 2 days ago
- Low of 2 days ago
- High of 3 days ago
- Low of 3 days ago
📌 These six levels:
- Are visible to everyone
- Are algorithmically respected
- Provide endless high-probability setups
💡 Price is constantly choosing which one of these to attack next.
🔍 Step 3: Which Level Has the Highest Probability?
Not all highs and lows are equal.
Ask:
- Which level has not been traded into?
- Which level aligns with the weekly bias?
- Which move creates or trades through a Fair Value Gap?
👉 The level that produces displacement + FVG is the one the algorithm is favoring.
That’s your daily target.
⏰ Step 4: Time of Day Matters (Silver Bullet Windows)
Price does not move efficiently all day.
High-probability moves occur when order flow becomes one-sided.
Silver Bullet Time Windows ⏱️:
- 10:00 – 11:00 AM NY
- 2:00 – 3:00 PM NY
- 3:00 – 4:00 PM NY
- London & NY session overlaps
📌 During these windows:
- Algorithms expand price deliberately
- Fair Value Gaps become obvious
- Entries cannot hide
🧩 Step 5: Fair Value Gap = Entry Model
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a small inefficiency where price moves too fast.
Why FVGs Matter:
- They signal institutional displacement
- Price often returns to them before continuing
- They work on all timeframes (fractal nature 🔁)
💡 A daily range behaves the same way as an hourly candle.
That’s why:
- You can target yesterday’s high
- Or the previous hour’s high
- Using the same exact logic
⚙️ Step 6: Fractal Thinking = High Frequency Opportunity
Every candle is a range.
That means:
- Weekly → Daily
- Daily → Hourly
- Hourly → 5m
- 5m → 15s / 30s
🎯 By targeting the previous hour’s high or low, you can:
- Enter on 15s or 30s charts
- Use a Silver Bullet FVG
- Capture 5–15 handles consistently
There are dozens of opportunities every day.
🧠 Step 7: Psychology & Probability (The Truth No One Likes)
You will:
- Be wrong ❌
- Miss trades 😤
- Exit too early 🏃♂️
And that’s normal.
Reality of Skill Development:
- Beginners: < 50% accuracy
- Intermediate: ~50%
- Experienced: 60–70%+
📌 Even pros lose trades.
The goal is expectancy, not perfection.
💰 Step 8: Small Targets Build Big Accounts
Aim for:
- 5 handles first ✅
- Then 10 handles
- Then expand gradually
❌ Don’t swing for 200 handles before proving discipline.
Consistency + money management = freedom 🏆
🧱 Step 9: One Model Is Enough
You don’t need:
- 20 strategies
- Every new PD array
- Constant system hopping
You need:
- One time window ⏰
- One entry model (FVG)
- One liquidity target 💧
Master one thing.
That alone can change your life.
🔑 Final Takeaway: How to Find the Weekly Direction
Identify weekly liquidity draw || Use last 3 days’ highs & lows || Align daily bias with weekly bias || Trade only during high-probability time windows || Enter on Fair Value Gaps || Manage risk relentlessly
📈 Trading is not about being right — it’s about being consistent.
When you align time, liquidity, and discipline, probability works for you.
