Strategy overview

A fair value gap is the imbalance a fast move leaves behind when one side transacts almost unopposed — and in this video the gap is not where the analysis begins, it is where it ends. The sequence runs the other way around: liquidity is located first on the hourly chart, price is expected to run through it, and only after that does the trader drop down to look for a shift in structure and an imbalance to act on. That ordering produces the inversion that catches most people off guard the first time they meet it — a broken high becomes a reason to look for sells and a broken low a reason to look for buys, because the sweep is read as orders being collected rather than as a breakout to join.

The source, from the Spanish-language channel BELIKETHEALGO, is built around that symmetry: one chapter for the sell scenario, a mirrored chapter for the buy scenario, then a section on which sessions to trade, a worked example, and only at the very end the entry pattern itself. Its treatment of timeframes is also looser than most SMC walkthroughs — a single hourly chart carries the analysis, while execution is presented as a band anywhere from one to five minutes rather than one fixed pairing, leaving the speed of the trigger to the trader rather than prescribing it.

The title bills this as "la mejor ESTRATEGIA de TRADING de 1 Minuto para 2026" and calls it "fácil" — a best-of claim and an ease claim that belong to the video's packaging, are not verified here, and sit somewhat awkwardly against a setup whose entry asks for two sequential confirmations after the sweep has already happened. No rule set has been extracted for this entry, so this page covers the concept and how the source frames it rather than a step-by-step specification: anyone wanting to trade it would still need to define what confirms a sweep, where risk sits, and what the target is, then test that on historical data.

Frequently asked questions

Why would a liquidity sweep strategy look for sells after price breaks a high?

Because the break is interpreted as a sweep rather than a breakout: the high is where stop orders sit, and running through it is read as those orders being collected before price turns. The video splits this into two mirrored scenarios — a broken high leading to a search for sells, a broken low to a search for buys.

What is the role of the fair value gap in a liquidity sweep setup?

It comes last rather than first. The sweep identifies the location, the change in market structure signals that control has shifted, and the fair value gap — the imbalance left by the move that caused the shift — is what the trader watches after those two conditions rather than as a standalone entry zone.

What timeframes does this version use?

It separates one analysis chart from a range of execution charts: the hourly is where liquidity is read, while execution is offered as a band from one to five minutes, so the trader chooses how fast a trigger they want rather than being locked to a single pairing.

Does the trading session matter for this kind of scalping?

The source treats it as important enough to give it its own chapter. In general, sweep-based setups depend on there being enough participation to produce the move through resting orders, which is why session timing tends to be a filter in intraday SMC approaches rather than an afterthought.
