⚡️2. Market structure according to SMCThis is the first concept that traders need to understand to trade according to SMC. The market structure is probably not so strange to us anymore. There are 3 types of markets, which are bullish, bearish and sideways. In there:
🔼 A rising market has a structure where the next peak is higher than the previous peak (Higher High) and the next bottom is higher than the previous bottom (Higher Low). As shown below:
🔼 Market structure is bullish in SMC 🔼
🔼 Price breaks the previous peak to create a higher peak. When a higher peak is created, many traders sell to gain profits, causing the price to decline, liquidity begins to dry up and a correction begins to occur.
🔼 However, the market is in an uptrend and traders continue to buy at higher prices. The market continued to rise, continuing to break the previous peak and continuing the bullish price structure. And the structure continues until a new lower low is created.

🔼 The bearish configuration will be the opposite, the next peak and bottom will be lower than the previous peak and bottom. As shown below:🔼 Example of a bearish price structure: Price breaks the previous low to create the next lower low. When a lower bottom is created, many traders take profits to make a profit, causing the price to turn up and a correction begins to occur.
🔼 However, the market is in a downtrend and traders continue to sell at lower prices. The market continued to decline, continuing to break the previous bottom and continuing the bearish price structure. And the structure continues until higher highs and higher lows are established.
