Liquidity runStop huntIntermediate
A move that clears the stops beyond a level and keeps going, unlike a sweep that reverses.
What it means
The hard part is telling a run (continuation) from a sweep (reversal) in real time. A structure shift after the move is the usual tie-breaker.
How to spot it
- Price breaks the level and holds beyond it.
Common mistakes
- Fading every break as if it were a sweep.
