Liquidity sweep (stop hunt)

Liquidity sweeps

Price hits your stop, then reverses. It is not personal. It is a liquidity sweep.

What happens

  • Stops sit just beyond obvious highs and lows
  • Big players push price there to fill orders
  • Then price snaps back

Many stops sit just beyond obvious highs and lows. Price often runs there, fills those orders, then snaps back.

A real sweep on gold

A real liquidity sweep on gold: price runs beyond an obvious high or low, takes the stops there, and closes back inside.

Use it

  • Do not place stops exactly at the obvious level
  • A sweep + reclaim can be an entry

So do not place your stop exactly at the obvious level.
