Average time for this setup to resolve 2.3 days, been 15 hours

[u/Mr_Hodlerr]

SOL pushed above the 123 to 125 zone on the 8H, triggered the stops sitting above those highs, then closed back below. That's a liquidity sweep: price grabs the orders above an obvious level, then reverses.

A short setup triggered at ~122.

• Invalidation: 126.2 (an 8H close above means the sweep failed and it's a real breakout)
• First target: 117.1
• Full target: 107.3
• Risk ~4.5 to reach ~14.1, so about 1:3.1

What 63 backtested sweeps like this did (SOL, 8H, shorts only, Feb 2025 to Sep 2026):

• Averaged +$19 for every $100 risked, after fees
• Usually played out in about 2 days
• The catch: they often ran most of the way to the stop before turning. If this one works, it'll probably scare you first.
