ICT 2022 model (sweep, shift, FVG)

What it is

This model joins three ideas in order. First, price sweeps liquidity (for a short, a run above recent highs). Then it shifts structure with displacement, breaking the last swing low. That move leaves a fair value gap, and the entry is the return to it.

How to spot it

• Highs taken, then a fast drop that breaks the most recent low.
• A clean FVG inside that drop.

How to use it

• Sell the return to the FVG, with the stop above the sweep high; target the next sell-side liquidity.
• Mirror it for longs after a sweep of lows.

Common mistakes

• Entering before the structure shift has happened.
• Taking it when the shift is slow and overlapping, with no displacement.
