– This is the Storyteller review for the June 5, 2025 NASDAQ futures contract, building on the June 4 video where key levels were posted.
– ICT focused on a single concept: the daily “SIBI” (daily inefficiency / fair-value gap) and its graded levels (upper quadrant, consequent encroachment, lower quadrant, and low). Higher-timeframe inefficiencies are treated as real support/resistance.
– Because it’s non-farm-payroll week, price was choppy and rangebound (especially Wed–Thu). New traders were advised to stop trading by about 7:00 AM ET ahead of the Friday release to avoid being caught in volatile, whipsaw action.
– The intraday analysis used only the 1-minute chart and the daily inefficiency levels — no opening-range gaps, opening-gap tools, or new fair-value-gap techniques were used that day.
– Practical trade notes: the presenter shorted near the London high into liquidity, watched price interact with the daily cibby levels (lower quadrant, order blocks, inversion fair-value gaps), took stops, and then followed further short/long opportunities as price cycled through those levels. The action showed classic NFP-week stop-hunts, liquidity grabs, and consolidations.
– Main takeaway: knowing and trading around higher-timeframe inefficiencies within the context of the economic calendar simplifies entries and management; once price leaves the daily cibby, other reference points must be used. Study the one-minute chart and the prior video for details.

– Context: Storytellers Series (episode 3), June 5, 2025 — focused on the dollar index and EUR/USD (not covering other FX pairs). The presenter is not actively trading Forex and treats it separately from his index-futures work.

– Big-picture view: Global trade friction, tariffs and geopolitical risk are creating chaotic fundamentals. The presenter believes this environment is broadly negative for the U.S. dollar and that a softer dollar (higher EUR/USD) is the more likely outcome.

– Market stance: Not bullish on the dollar index; expects lower dollar levels over time unless major geopolitical tensions unexpectedly resolve. He sees the broader market as risk-on (stocks can still rally), which supports a weaker dollar.

– Technical approach: Analysis relies on technical constructs across timeframes—weekly, daily, hourly, 15-min, and 5-min—using concepts like fair value gaps, inversions, buy/sell-side efficiency, liquidity pools and order blocks. Key higher-timeframe sell-side liquidity and inversion gaps are focal points for downside targets.

– Near-term triggers and risks: Employment and upcoming nonfarm payroll (NFP) data can change the picture; recent employment data caused short-term moves. Heavy manipulation and wide, unpredictable ranges are possible, making FX trading riskier now.

– Practical cautions: He warns inexperienced or undercapitalized traders not to over-leverage or trade impulsively—profitability is difficult in the current FX climate. This commentary is opinion, not trading advice.

– Frequency: He plans to post daily-ish EUR/USD and dollar-index updates when relevant, but remains cautious and will keep precise trade-levels private until warranted.
