What formed

A Liquidity Sweep formed on BTC 4H. Historically this pattern on BTC 4H resolved toward the first target in 8000% of 205 instances before touching invalidation, with an expectancy of +0.67R per instance. This is descriptive analysis of a chart structure, not personalized guidance.

A liquidity sweep, or stop hunt, is a sharp push just past an obvious high or low that grabs the resting stop orders sitting there, then quickly reverses. Predictable stops cluster beyond prior extremes, which makes those areas common fake-out zones.

It forms when price runs a level everyone can see (a prior high, a round number, equal highs or lows), triggers the stops, and fails to hold above or below. The reversal that follows is what distinguishes a sweep from a genuine breakout.
