When two or more swing highs form at the same price level, stop orders from short sellers cluster above them. Price often sweeps these 'equal highs' to harvest liquidity before reversing. Trade the reversal after the sweep.

💡 Pro Tip
The closer together the equal highs are in price and time, the stronger the liquidity pool above them. Two equal highs formed within 3-5 candles are magnets; two highs from different sessions weeks apart are much weaker targets.
