What This Setup Is

An ICT-style long setup that waits for a bullish displacement leg, marks the last opposing candle zone, and only acts on a controlled retest.

Why It Fires

A true order-block retest should show that sellers failed to regain control after displacement. The retest gives a defined invalidation point instead of chasing the impulse.

Exact Trigger Checklist

  • Chart: MNQ 1-minute bars during the tested trade window.
  • Identify bullish displacement before defining the order block.
  • Mark the last bearish candle or imbalance-adjacent demand zone.
  • Enter only on a clean retest and hold above invalidation.
  • Required filter: narrative_tag=growth downside.

Good Conditions

  • Displacement is obvious and breaks prior structure.
  • Retest taps the zone without slicing through it.
  • The target is not blocked by immediate supply.
  • The narrative filter matches the saved research bucket.

Avoid Conditions

  • The order block is chosen after the fact.
  • Price returns too deeply and accepts below the zone.
  • The setup needs a huge stop relative to target.
  • The retest happens during headline shock.
