Equal Highs / Equal Lows
Two or more swing points at nearly the same price — an unusually rich liquidity pool and a common draw for price.
What it is
When multiple swing highs (or lows) form within a few ticks of each other, the stops behind them stack into one concentrated pool. Markets rarely leave these untouched: equal highs and lows act like magnets that price eventually runs.
Why it matters
Equal highs above your long are a take-profit zone, not a hold-through zone. Expect the sweep — don't donate your open profit to it.
NQ example REAL SCENARIO
Tuesday and Wednesday NQ highs print within 2 points of each other. Thursday's rally stalls exactly 5 points above them and reverses 60 — the pool was the destination.
