Equal Highs/Lows
Liquidity pools at equal highs/lows.
What it is
Liquidity pools at equal highs/lows.
Equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) are clusters of swing pivots that print within a small tolerance of one another. Because stop-loss orders for longs cluster under EQLs and for shorts above EQHs, those levels are de facto liquidity pools.
Smart-money traders treat EQH/EQL as targets, not as walls: price is biased to run them, trigger the resting stops, and then reverse (see Liquidity Sweep). Tolerance is usually defined in ticks, ATR fractions, or basis points — the right value is market- and timeframe-dependent.
EQH/EQL are most powerful when they sit at obvious structural levels (a prior day high, a session high, a round number). Isolated equal pivots in the middle of a range are weaker.
