Trade Setup: Liquidity Sweep / Manipulation Entry
Pair: SUI/USDT
Timeframe: 15-Minutes
Platform: Binance
Chart Type: Candlestick
Trade Concept
This trade is based on a liquidity sweep/manipulation trap, where the price fakes a breakdown below a key support to trap sellers before reversing.
Entry Rules
Identify Liquidity Zone:
Mark key support levels where multiple lows have formed (acting as liquidity pool).
Wait for a clear sweep below this level (price makes a lower low, triggering stop losses/sell orders).
Wait for Confirmation:
Do not enter on the sweep candle.
Wait for the next candle to close back above the broken support, confirming the reclaim.
Entry Point:
Enter after reclaim of the support (confirmation candle).
This confirms the seller’s trap/manipulation.
Stop Loss & Target
Stop Loss: Just below the sweep wick (to protect against actual breakdown).
Take Profit: Based on structure or previous resistance zones.
In this chart, a strong impulse followed the reclaim, allowing for a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
Remarks
Risk Management: Only enter after confirmation to avoid false breakouts.
Psychological Note: This setup works on exploiting retail stop hunts and institutional reclaims
