Rules to keep

  1. Map the existing swings: higher highs/higher lows or lower highs/lower lows.
  2. Bullish confirmation model: meaningful low sweep → upward displacement through the last relevant lower high.
  3. Bearish mirror: meaningful high sweep → downward displacement through the last relevant higher low.
  4. Use the FVG formed by that displacement for the traditional retracement model. Check whether a larger unswept pool remains nearby.
