Bearish counterpart to the sweep reversal long: 5m liquidity sweep above the previous-day high (PDH) — banks took retail buy-stops out, accumulated short positions, then reversed. Combined with a bearish CHoCH (structure flipped down post-sweep), an unmitigated bear FVG (supply entry zone), and HTF premium positioning, this is the ICT 'stop hunt and short' setup. Stop: above the sweep high. Target: 1H swing low. Risk:Reward minimum 1:3.
PDH swept + bearish reversal = liquidity engineering complete. A 5m sweep above the previous-day high takes out retail buy-stops; banks accumulate shorts, then reverse. Combined with a bearish 15m CHoCH (structure flipped down post-sweep), an unmitigated bear FVG (supply entry zone), and HTF premium/equilibrium positioning, this is the ICT 'stop hunt and short' setup.
symbol == XAUUSD + pdh_swept == yes + choch_15m == bearish + unmitigated_fvg_count_bear > 0 + zone_htf in {premium, equilibrium}.
