Liquidity Sweep Reversal

Smart Money / ICT

The stop-hunt is the signal, when it's rejected, not just poked.

how liquidity sweep reversal works
swing low = resting stop-losses ($$)wick sweeps stops,closes back above → BUY

What it does

Stop-losses cluster just beyond every obvious swing high and low. Large players push price through those levels to fill orders against the triggered stops, then price snaps back. This version confirms the sweep: a wick pierces the level, the candle closes back inside, the close sits in the far half of the candle, and the rejection wick is long.
