Como Validar um Order Block no SMC | Arena Tática com Maria Silveira - EP2

In the second episode of the Tactical Arena series, trader Maria Silveira delves deeper into the practical interpretation of SMC — Smart Money Concepts — alongside XP technical analysts Alex Carvalho and Gilberto Coelho. After introducing the concepts of liquidity, order block, and institutional reading in the first episode, the conversation now moves on to an essential part: how to identify traces of institutional activity on the chart. Maria explains why traders need to first master market structure, understand where liquidity is located, and only then seek validation of order blocks. The episode also covers concepts such as breaker blocks, polarity reversal, entry confirmation, flow alignment, and the difference between trading only within a marked region and waiting for the correct trigger. In this episode you will see: – How to read continuation and reversal structures – Why liquidity comes before the order block – How to validate an order block within the SMC – What is a breaker block and polarity change – The importance of not trading directly “in the block” – How to separate context and trigger – How to align macro and micro before an entry This is the second of five episodes in the Tactical Arena series with Maria Silveira. A lesson for those who want to move beyond basic support and resistance marking and evolve to a more complete market reading. Watch until the end and follow the next episodes of the series.
