Currently: no significant downward BOS breaking the low
👉 Conclusion:
The main trend is still upward – not broken
🧩 2. Market Structure
After a strong upward movement → the price shifted to sideways at the peak
Formation:

Lower range: 73.5k–74k → liquidity below
Many occurrences:
Continuous small CHoCH → sign of noise/trap

💸 3. Liquidity & Smart Money
🔼 Above (Buy-side liquidity – BSL)
Area: 75.5k – 75.8k
Touched many times but not strongly broken
→ Liquidity remains intact
🔽 Below (Sell-side liquidity – SSL)
