July 7th, 2025 GBPUSD Recap: How I Scaled Into a 8R Winner (Chart Inside!)

“Sunday night. I closed my laptop and took a deep breath. ‘One pair, one session, Half a percent risk.’ I repeated it like a mantra.

See, last week I’d broken my rules—chased losses, ignored my zones. So this weekend? I went back to basics. I:

  • ✅ Froze the charts Saturday: No staring at candles. Just rest.
  • ✅ Reviewed ONLY Friday’s key levels: That H4 liquidity point at 1.35637 & the M15 supply zone at 1.36997. Nothing else.
  • ✅ Wrote my Monday plan‘If the price gives me a bullish confirmation, i’ll target the supply & for a bearish confirmation i’ll target the H4 liquidity level. If not? Wait.

Monday morning, Asia was chilled breaking the lows. Demand was failing and supply was in control. ‘This is it,’ I thought. But I didn’t slam the sell button. I waited for Asia close to gain more confidence to attack the London session.
Everything i wanted to see was now present at the London open.
This is how a disciplined calculated risk turned into an 8R payday. No magic. Just pure liquidity warfare. Buckle up—I’m breaking it all down.


The Big Picture: HTF Liquidity Hunt (My Secret Weapon)

H4 GBPUSD Chart Outlook

H4 Liquidity Target: The “Why” Behind the Move

“I always start high! Last Friday’s close left a juicy H4 bullish liquidity pool (those trapped buyers!). My thesis:
✅ If the price opens bullish, I’ll watch for potential shorts from M15 supply zones
✅ If the price opens bearish, i’ll look for a potential continuation setup to take out the H4 lows.

“As Dr. Elder says: ‘The goal is to make the best trades…’ Monday’s 8R win wasn’t about the money — it was about executing my liquidity blueprint flawlessly.”

Key Catalysts Igniting the Move

  • 🔥 UK Services PMI miss (53.1 vs. 54.7 forecast)
  • 💨 USD momentum from Thursday’s hot NFP revisions
  • 🌪️ Low liquidity amplifying moves (Asia snoozed!)

🎯 Trade Blueprint: M15 Zones + M1 Precision

M15 GBPUSD Bias Chart

My mentor told me, ” The price takes liquidity to fuel the next move.”
I knew these M15 demand zones will not hold the price. I stayed patient and mapped all the supply zones that could probably hold the price to take out the demand.

M15 Supply Zone: My Bias Trigger

M15 GBPUSD Bias Plan
  • Supply Zone : (valid since demand is not in control)
  • Bias Confirmation: Bullish, only if the invalidation sell point is violated.

Entry Strategy: M1 Sweep & BOS

“Patience is a sniper’s best friend.” 
The Plan:

  • 🎯 Spot Swing targets on H4.
  • 🕵️ Watch M15 for possible direction bias and entry zones.
  • 🔫 Enter on a confirmed entry model on M1.

Trade Execution: The 8.R Snipe (M1 Timeframe)

The Perfect Storm Unfolds

I had two zones on M1 timeframe. To avoid missing out on the possible opportunity, i had to set limits for both.
The long awaited kill zone moment was here. It’s either -1R or + 8R.

M1 GBPUSD Entry Liquidation
M1 GBPUSD Entry Liquidation

The market liquidated my first position after a few minutes into the London Open session. The confidence in me knew that one of the entries should cook and deliver profits.
“Like Paul Tudor Jones says: ‘Play great defense, not great offense.’ That first 0.5% loss? Defense. The 8.3R win? Offense built on defense.

Remember: London open is a stop-hunt frenzy. But if you know the liquidity map, losing small means winning big later.”

My first trade died, but I didn’t panic. Why? Douglas taught: ‘Focus on the trade, not the money.’ I traded the levels, not the fear.”

After the first position failed to bag profits, i had a winning mindset on the extreme entry.
For a split second, My ego whispered: ‘Maybe the liquidity sweep won’t happen… Maybe my zones are trash.’

But then I grinned.

Why? Because I’d seen this before: ‘The real move comes AFTER the trap.’

“The best trades aren’t the easiest. They’re the ones where you trade your plan, not your panic.”

Why This Worked Like Clockwork

  1. HTF liquidity raid ✅
  2. M15 Supply zone ✅
  3. M1 sweep + Break of structure ✅

“Three confirmations = high-probability cannonball!”


✨One Golden Rule (Monday’s Wisdom)

“Trade the liquidity map, not the news ticker!”
Monday proved it: I rode the wave. Your chart is a battlefield – liquidity is the king.
