Intraday Break Block Retest Strategy – Catch Smart Money Moves with Precision π₯π
π What’s Happening in the Chart?
This strategy focuses on trading a momentum shift after a liquidity grab and a break block retest.
1. Liquidity Grab (Fake Out)
- Price fakes above a key level (resistance).
- Triggers buy stops from retail traders.
- Institutions use this moment to grab liquidity (fake breakout).
π Key Insight: A fake out often signals that the market will move in the opposite direction.
2. Break Block Zone
- After the fake out, price shifts momentum downwards.
- The large red candle breaks through a support zone = Break Block.
- This signals a change in market direction from bullish to bearish.
π Break Block = the last bullish candle before the bearish momentum shift.
3. Retest & Confirmation
- Price retraces back to the break block zone (gray area).
- This is where you wait for confirmation to sell — often via rejection wicks, bearish engulfing, or other price action signals.
- Once confirmed, enter a sell trade.
4. Trade Execution Zone
- Enter after confirmation during the retest.
- Place Stop Loss (SL) just above the Break Block.
- Target new lows — ideally a 1:2 or higher risk-to-reward ratio.
✅ Key Tips Summary
- Only trade confirmed setups (don’t guess).
- Use 1–2 solid setups per week for consistency.
- Use price action (like candlestick patterns) to confirm entries.
- Combine with confluence factors (e.g., session times, news).
π Checklist for This Strategy
1. ✅ Momentum Shift — Watch for strong shift in price (big candle)
2. ✅ Liquidity Grab — Price manipulates above/under key levels
3. ✅ NY or London Session — Ideal timing for smart money moves
4. ✅ Break Block Formed — Clear candle breaking through structure
5. ✅ Retest with Confirmation — Entry after pullback
6. ✅ Use Timeframes — M15, M30, H1 work best
7. ✅ Check Fundamentals — Avoid trading into major news
