Unmitigated Candle Highs and Lows

What Does "Unmitigated" Mean?
- Unmitigated High: The highest point of a bullish candle that hasn’t been revisited or retested by price after it formed.
- Unmitigated Low: The lowest point of a bearish candle that remains untouched by subsequent price movement.
These levels are often seen as "untapped" supply or demand zones, meaning:
- Price may return to these levels to fill orders left behind.
- They can act as magnetic zones, attracting price back for a reaction.
📈 Why Traders Care About Them
- Liquidity Pools: Institutions often leave unfilled orders at these levels. Price may return to "mitigate" or fulfill those orders.
- Reversal or Continuation Signals: When price revisits an unmitigated high/low, it may either reverse sharply or break through, depending on market context.
- Entry/Exit Points: Traders use these zones to plan entries, stop losses, or take profits.
🧠 Example
Imagine a strong bullish candle forms, but price never returns to its low. That low is considered unmitigated. If price revisits it later, traders watch closely for a bounce or a break.
