Equal highs & lows
Liquidity & Stop Hunts
Two touches, one target
Two or more highs printing at nearly the same price look like a ceiling. To smart money it reads differently: a stacked, easy-to-calculate pool of buy-stops sitting just above that exact price.
Triple tops are bait, not walls
The market loves round numbers of touches. A third touch of the same high often isn't the level finally failing. It's the spot with the fattest liquidity pool, primed for one clean sweep before reversing.
Near enough counts as equal
You don't need textbook-perfect equal highs. Two closes within a few ticks of each other still draw the same behavior. The market rounds to 'close enough' when it hunts, it doesn't need pixel-perfect matches.
