Liquidity Sweep
A Liquidity Sweep happens when price briefly moves above a high or below a low to trigger stop losses and grab liquidity before reversing direction.
Why It Happens
Big institutional traders need liquidity to enter large positions.
They often push price into areas where:
Retail stop losses are placed
Pending orders are waiting
After taking that liquidity, price may reverse strongly.
Bullish Liquidity Sweep
Price moves below support or previous low
Stops are triggered
Market quickly reverses upward
Bearish Liquidity Sweep
Price moves above resistance or previous high
Buy stops are triggered
Market reverses downward
Common Signs
Long wick rejection
Fake breakout
Sudden sharp reversal
Market Structure Shift (MSS)
Trading Idea
Many traders wait for:
Liquidity sweep
Confirmation candle or MSS
Entry in the reversal direction
Important Tip
Do not enter immediately during the sweep. Wait for confirmation to avoid getting trapped in false moves.
