Market Maker

BSL (short stops above): $4,370, $4,369, $4,361 SSL (long stops below): $4,306, $4,307

Price near SSL $4,301. The MM could sweep stops below and bounce. Likely bearish trap.

Trigger: CHoCH bullish on 5m in $4,200±5 zone

Price drops to $4,200±5 zone (do not enter before)
Bullish CHoCH on 5m: higher high breaks the last swing high
Confirmation candle on 5m: body >60% of range, close in upper third
Displacement: impulse candle with body >70% and lower wick <20%
$4,200 zone does NOT break with 5m close below

Invalid if:

5m close below $4,170 → setup dead
3 consecutive 5m candles below $4,200 without recovering → cancel
If 2 hours pass without trigger → expired (await new analysis)

Retest: price returns to $4,319±5 and bounces (1-3 5m candles)
On retest: 5m candle with lower wick touches $4,319 and close holds above
Breakout volume > average (breakout candle must not be a doji or inside bar)
Price does NOT return below $4,319 with 5m close after retest

Invalid if:

1H close back below $4,319 → false breakout, cancel
