My EURUSD Trade Breakdown on 18/11/2025 Today, I wanted to share a quick breakdown of my EURUSD trade idea and the lessons I learned using SMT, or Smart Money Tool, between DXY and EURUSD. This trade was taken on 18/11/2025 on Tuesday. 1. My Overall Bias: Clearly Bearish When I started looking at the charts, my daily bias was very clear — bearish . There was no major news on the calendar. I noticed a lower-timeframe SMT , which supported the bearish move. Not in higher smt in DXY, GBP Price was reacting nicely to premium/discount areas like BB, IFVG, FVG, and CISD. I also marked the Draw on liquidity  (DOL) on the 1H and 4H, which helped me see the bigger picture. From the way price was forming, I expected the market to come back toward the mid-point of the day and then push lower to sweep the previous day’s low . 2. Waiting for SMT on DXY One important part of my plan was to wait for an SMT signal on DXY . For my setup, I needed the price to show lower SMT — something th...

Why I Waited for DXY SMT

At first, SMT between GU and EU was not clean. Not to respect that SMT in lower timeframe movement, but DXY showed a clear SMT, so I waited for the dollar to confirm the move.
On DXY:
  • The SMT formed around the mid-point candle on the Daily timeframe. I use quarterly theory concepts here, so the candle at 6am marks the midpoint of that day.
  • So I think that low of that candle was protected, showing strength and confirming displacement.
This gave confidence for a bearish move on EURUSD.

Higher SMT Confirmation

DXY created a higher SMT, showing the real direction of the market.
This helped filter out the weak SMT signals from GU and EU.

The Entry – 7 AM (London)

Entry was taken on the 7 AM candle, inside the PO3 window.
On the 3-minute timeframe, GBPUSD created a lower SMT, which perfectly aligned with EURUSD.
This confirmed:
  • Liquidity taken
  • Reversal shift
  • Ready for an RB (Repricing Behavior) candle formation

Why This Trade Was High Quality

  • SMT on higher and lower timeframes
  • DXY confirmation (strongest SMT)
  • PD arrays aligned
  • Entry inside PO3 (London kill zone)
  • GU SMT (Smart Money Technique between GBPUSD) helped refine the entry on the M3 (3-minute) chart.
