Here’s the short version: this wasn’t just a dip — it was a structure break.
What changed on 4H
- Higher‑low sequence failed
- Prior demand didn’t hold on the retest
- The reaction was weak, volume didn’t defend the level
That combination is the red flag. One signal is noise. Three together means a shift.
What 1K Scanner flagged
- Break of the last clean swing low
- Retest candle rejected at the same zone
- MTF alignment: lower TF rolled while higher TF stopped making higher lows
How we used it
This isn’t “short every break”. It’s wait for break + failed reclaim. That’s the difference between getting chopped and catching the move.
Checklist we used:
- Break of key swing
- Failed reclaim on retest
- MTF misalignment confirmed
- No strong volume defense
