Level pierce
Pool pierced by wicks and reclaimed by a close.
A liquidity pool is pierced by wicks and reclaimed by a close. The stops behind it are collected, and price is back.
If price stays beyond the level it is a genuine breakout and not a sweep — that is exactly the difference. A pool is swept at most once. Built from Liquidity pool finds.
