Where liquidity sat
Equal highs, obvious breakout level, prior swing high, and visible stop cluster above resistance.
Case study
Liquidity sweep: the move through the level is not the whole story.
A sweep is useful only when the context, reaction, and invalidation are clear. The goal is to identify who was forced to act and whether price accepted or rejected after the sweep.
What confirmed
Price moved through the high, failed to hold, returned below the level, and retest could not reclaim acceptance.
What invalidated
Acceptance above the swept level would invalidate the rejection idea and suggest continuation instead.
