Two adjacent equal wicks are the weakest version. Three or more touches, wider separation, and exact prices make the pool more visually obvious and more useful.

Several equal lows can make a long unattractive, but they do not create a short by themselves. Wait for displacement, broken opposing FVGs, and an execution retracement.

A row of lows formed outside a kill zone remained untouched until New York. Bearish delivery then provided the reason to target them.

Matching highs hours apart can remain a future draw. The creator waits for bullish structure rather than assuming price must reach them immediately.

Do not buy merely because equal highs were taken or sell merely because equal lows were taken. Wait for a fresh reversal or continuation model.

Either extreme can be a target or reversal area. After a sweep, look for MSS plus an FVG; continued displacement through the level suggests another pool remains beyond it.
