BUY ETHUSDLOSS -1.00R

Step by step: how the agents decided

1. 1 · Bias room: which way is the big money leaning?

   4H and 1H are both bullish, and the 15M confirms.

2. 2 · Liquidity room: were the stops raided?

   • Liquidity sweep. Stops at 2,685.50 were raided (wick to 2,684.99) and price closed back inside.
   • Rejection after the sweep. No convincing rejection wick. Without it, a sweep can easily turn into a genuine breakout that runs over your stop.

3. 3 · Structure room: did the market confirm the turn?

   A large, fast candle moved away from the extreme — institutional intent.

   • 5M displacement. A large, fast candle moved away from the extreme — institutional intent.

   Price is back inside the fair value gap / 50% zone — the efficient entry.
