Mitigation Block

ICT · Timeframe: H1 / M15 · Sessions: Killzones

Like the breaker, but without a prior sweep: a failed order block reused from the other side.

How it works

After a lower high (not taking the previous high's liquidity), price breaks the previous low. The last bullish candle before that drop is the mitigation block: when price returns to it from below, those who bought there exit 'mitigating' their losses and price tends to reject.

Step-by-step rules

1. A high lower than the previous one (no sweep).
2. Break of the previous low.
3. Mark the last bullish candle before the drop.
4. Sell on the retest of the block; stop above it.
