o it's a standalone price action pattern


o the pattern capitalizes on stop runs

o Scan price at 60min TF for a key high that forms with the short-term swing low broken to the
down side

o Key High – creates short term high (stage 2), small pull back (swing low) & runs upside
creating key high & price move downside breaking the swing low & trades back up to swing
low, that’s the valid pattern, that’s the setup & it does not become a valid pattern until we
get below the swing low
Pattern looks like price action kind of creating a check mark

o Ideally if it’s part of continued swing higher – with a pair of swing high broken – prior to the
key high formation
o Wait for the price to retrace to the swing low broken prior to the key high forming
o Swing low break = Break in market structure = that swing low acts a resistance

o Swing low Break & retest price of 2nd stage would be nice area for entry for shorting
o Target would be the 1st stage swing low
o SL / Risk will be above Key high
