🧱 Mitigation Blocks — Where Smart Money Cleans Up 🧼📦
⸻
What Are Mitigation Blocks?
Mitigation Blocks are price zones where institutions exit losing positions or retest old orders before moving on.
Think of them as “cleanup zones” — where smart money fixes their previous imbalance 💼
They’re often confused with order blocks — but they serve a different purpose 👇
⸻
🔍 Key Characteristics:
✅ Formed after a failed move (trapped volume)
✅ Price returns to the zone → respects it again
✅ Shows intent to “mitigate” old orders or bad positions
📌 Example:
• Smart money tries to short → gets trapped
• Reverses bullish → price returns to failed short zone
• That zone now acts as support = mitigation block
⸻
🧠 Why It Matters:
🔹 Mitigation = Final retest before commitment
🔹 Great sniper entries — after BOS & liquidity sweep
🔹 Helps filter fake order blocks
🔹 Often align with FVG or internal liquidity
⸻
💡 Pro Tips to Spot Mitigation Blocks:
1. Look for a failed OB (price breaks through it hard)
2. See price revisit that exact zone later
3. If it holds → it’s being mitigated → high confluence entry
⚠️ It’s not about the candle itself — it’s about the intention behind the revisit
⸻
📈 Mitigation Block Entry Strategy:
1. Identify BOS and internal/external liquidity sweep
2. Mark the failed OB or impulse candle that price broke through
3. Wait for price to return → look for rejection or absorption wick
4. Enter in trend direction
5. Stop-loss behind the block → target new high/low liquidity
⛓ This is how pros get in after traps — not before 💡
Mitigation blocks = Institutions fixing their past footprints
→ Follow them, not retail.
