The most explosive gold reversal setup in ICT: a 5m liquidity sweep (equal highs/lows taken out — stop hunt) followed by a CHoCH (structure flip). This is what ICT calls 'stop hunt and reverse' — banks sweep retail stops above equal highs or below equal lows, accumulate the opposite position, then reverse. Sweep above equal highs + bearish CHoCH = institutions sold into the pump (SELL). Sweep below equal lows + bullish CHoCH = institutions bought the dip (BUY). This scanner watches for the bullish version: PDL swept + CHoCH bullish + FVG.
The edge — what this scanner is hunting
PDL/PDH swept + reversal = liquidity engineering complete. When gold sweeps the previous day's low/high and reverses, market makers have hunted stops and the real move begins.
