Summary:

– ICT opened a livestream before the market open warning of unusually high risk and volatility today due to an anticipated geopolitical event tonight (creates bearish sentiment), so he’s staying neutral and observing rather than trading.
– He repeatedly cautioned viewers not to use his real-time comments as trade signals — any winning moves today are likely chance/lottery-like; inexperienced traders should stay on the sidelines.
– Market action: overnight and opening-range price behavior was messy (wicks, gaps, fair-value inefficiencies). The market took buy-side liquidity first (stopping shorts), then some sell-side moves — overall unclear and hard to read.
– Technical focus: regular trading hours opening-range gap levels, liquidity pools, and recent wicks are key; price has been trading inside yesterday’s opening-range structure and lacked conviction one way or the other.
– Teaching points: the session was treated as tape-reading practice — build anticipatory skills, learn to read market narrative (how stops and traps are engineered), and accept uncertainty rather than forcing trades.
– Emphasis on risk management and experience: protect capital, avoid trading from fear or FOMO, don’t expect guarantees from teachers, and develop skill through disciplined observation and practice rather than rushed trading.
