Smart Money
Where the fuel sits
Stops cluster above highs (buy-side liquidity) and below lows (sell-side). Big players need those pools to fill size. Price gets DRIVEN to liquidity, not away from it.

- Coincidence
- Stops above it = the liquidity big sellers needed correct
- Retail strength
The pool of buy-stops is the counterparty. Institutions sell INTO that forced buying.
