🔹 Strategy 4: Micro Order Block Reversal

Setup: Micro consolidation (1–3 bars), price breaks structure and retests
Entry: Enter on OB confirmation wick re-test
Stop Loss: Below OB or structure break
Take Profit: VWAP, midpoint, or pre-market level

🔹 Micro Order Block Reversal

Why?

You often get a pullback into a price block or consolidation zone, then a reversal when liquidity is absorbed and the trend resumes.

🔄 What is a Micro Order Block Reversal?

A Micro Order Block Reversal is a high-precision entry setup used by smart money and scalpers. It occurs when price creates a small order block (OB) through brief consolidation, then fakes out or sweeps liquidity, and reverses direction.

🧠 What Is It?

A micro order block is a tiny consolidation zone (1–3 candles) where large players accumulate positions.
Price breaks structure, sweeps liquidity, and then retests the OB before reversing.
This gives early entries with tight stop losses.

🔍 How to Spot It

✅ Look for 1–3 candle consolidation near a recent swing high/low
✅ Watch for a fake breakout (liquidity sweep) just above/below the zone
✅ Wait for a snap-back move with a strong reversal candle (engulfing, pin bar)
✅ Enter on the retest of the OB (a wick back into the zone)
✅ Stop Loss: Just outside the wick or structure break

🎯 Why It Works

Captures smart money entries early
Offers high reward-to-risk setups
Effective in reversals or range-bound markets
