Not all resistance rejections are created equal. If you want to stop getting trapped when trading key levels, you need to look closer at how the bearish confirmation candle closes. ​Here is a simple breakdown of what to look for before placing that entry: ​Bad (Weak Acceptance): Price spikes WAY above the zone, leaves a massive upper wick, and then drops. While it rejected the zone, that huge upper shadow shows high volatility and liquidity hunting—meaning buyers were still pushing hard. Entering immediately here is risky. OK (Moderate Acceptance): The upper wick is much smaller, and the red candle closes stronger. This signals that sellers actually stepped in right after testing the level. It’s decent, but not bulletproof. Good (Strong Acceptance): Zero upper wick! Price tapped the resistance zone, got rejected instantly, and pushed straight down to close right near its low. This shows complete seller dominance and strong conviction. The Key Takeaway Never jump into a trade the second price touches a zone. Always look at the closing structure of the confirmation candle. Clean closes with minimal upper wicks give you the highest-probability setups.
