Using failed price action to your advantage is a powerful way to catch reversals, stop hunt traps, or liquidity grabs — often right when other traders are getting trapped.

💰🧠 What Is “Failed Price Action”?

It’s when a popular pattern or setup doesn’t follow through as expected. Examples:

A breakout that reverses.
A pin bar that fails to hold.
A support or resistance level that breaks but then snaps back.
A false inside bar breakout.

Instead of treating failure as a problem — smart traders use it as a signal.

💰 ✅ How to Use Failed Price Action to Your Advantage

1. Trap Breakout Traders

When price fakes out above a key resistance then quickly reverses:

Retail buys the breakout.
Market reverses → their stops become your entry (liquidity).

How to trade it:

Wait for breakout + reversal.
Enter in the opposite direction.
Place your stop above the failed high.

🟢 Ideal in ranges or near key levels.

💰

2. Fade Failed Pin Bars or Engulfing Candles

If a bullish pin bar is formed but then price closes below the low of the pin, it’s likely a failed long signal.

How to trade it:

Let the market trap buyers.
Short below the pin bar low.
Stop loss above the pin high.

🟢 Works great with confirmation from volume or RSI divergence.

💰

3. Use False Breaks at Key Levels

Let price fake out past a key level, then reverse.

This suggests stop hunts or liquidity grabs.
Smart money is getting in after faking out the crowd.

How to trade it:

Mark clear support/resistance.
Wait for fake break + strong reversal candle.
Enter in the opposite direction.

💰

4. Combine with RSI or EMA

If a breakout fails AND RSI is diverging, the reversal is more likely.
Or use 23/8 EMA pullback after a failed breakout to confirm a strong entry.

💰📈 Chart Example Strategy

Scenario: EUR/USD breaks above resistance → reverses hard → bearish engulfing.

Wait for candle close back inside range.
Short with stop above the fake high.
Target the bottom of the range or next key level.

💰🔒 Risk Management Tip

Failed price action is powerful but requires confirmation — don’t jump in too early.
Always use a tight stop and define your invalid point clearly (the recent fake high or low).
