ICT Weekly Bias Framework: How to Determine HTF Direction for the Week

Every week, before I look at a single trade setup, I build my ICT weekly bias using this framework: **Step 1: Weekly chart — draw premium and discount zones** The midpoint between the current 4-week range is the equilibrium. Above = premium (short opportunities). Below = discount (long opportunities). Current EUR/USD: equilibrium at 1.0818. Price at 1.0840 = slight premium. **Step 2: Identify weekly liquidity** Mark the previous week's high and low. These are the primary liquidity targets for the current week. Previous week EUR/USD: high 1.0894, low 1.0780. **Step 3: Check the PD arrays** Are there unmitigated order blocks or FVGs above or below current price? The nearest unmitigated bearish OB on EUR/USD sits at 1.0890–1.0905 — a potential week-target for a short run. **Step 4: Define the probable weekly scenario** With price in premium and a bearish OB overhead, the weekly ICT bias is: price will run to the OB (1.0890) to grab sell-side liquidity, then reverse lower toward the weekly low (1.0780). This gives a complete weekly road map: expect up first, then down. How do you build your weekly ICT bias?
