Weekly high/low sweep

ICT · Timeframe: H1 / H4 · Sessions: Monday to Wednesday

Price takes out the previous week's extreme, hunts stops and returns inside its range.

How it works

The previous week's high and low (PWH/PWL) hold a lot of liquidity. In ICT's weekly profiles, the week's high or low is often formed early in the week by sweeping those levels before the real move. It is a turtle soup on a weekly scale.

Step-by-step rules

1. Mark PWH and PWL.
2. Between Monday and Wednesday, wait for an H1 candle that trades beyond the level and closes back inside.
3. Entry at the close; stop at the sweep wick.
4. Target: 2R or the equilibrium of the previous week's range.

How Marketalyx tests it
