### 1. Standard Retest (Top Left)
- Structure: Price breaks above a key level (resistance), then returns to test it as support.
- Interpretation: A clean breakout followed by a confirmation retest. Bullish continuation expected if the support holds.
- Use Case: Ideal for entry after confirmation.
---
### 2. Structure Retest (Top Right)
- Structure: Break of market structure (e.g., lower highs/lower lows), followed by a retest of the broken structure line.
- Interpretation: Signals a shift in trend from bearish to bullish. The retest confirms the change in direction.
- Use Case: Strong confirmation of reversal. Best for early trend entry.

### 3. Demand Zone + Order Block Retest (Middle Left)
- Structure: Price consolidates, forming an order block (OB) above a demand zone, then retests both before rising.
- Interpretation: Combination of supply/demand and smart money concepts. Shows institutional accumulation.
- Use Case: Entry near demand/OB after consolidation breakout.
---
### 4. Manipulation Retest (Middle Right)
- Structure: Price manipulates below a support (fakeout), grabs liquidity, then shoots up.
- Interpretation: "Stop hunt" before real move. Smart money trap to remove weak hands.
- Use Case: Look for rejection wicks or engulfing candles after manipulation for entry.
---
### 5. Deep Demand Retest (Bottom Left)
- Structure: Price retests the lower edge of a demand zone, often deeper than expected.
- Interpretation: Strong accumulation. Bulls absorb all selling pressure before breakout.
- Use Case: Entry at the bottom of the demand zone with tight stop-loss.
---
### 6. Demand Retest After Breakout (Bottom Right)
- Structure: Price breaks out from a consolidation or resistance, then returns to retest the demand zone formed by prior consolidation.
- Interpretation: Confirmation of the breakout and continuation. Acts as re-accumulation.
- Use Case: Enter on confirmation of support holding above the demand zone.
