This is the type of market where patience matters more than having a strong opinion.
For IWM, the context is small-cap breadth and risk appetite. The key idea around liquidity sweep is that a sweep is useful only after price reclaims the level. That means I would not build a trade only from the direction of the last candle.
My first scenario would be confirmation: price holds the important area, volume stays supportive, and the next pullback does not fully erase the previous move. In that case, wait for rejection and confirmation instead of trading every wick.
The opposite scenario is just as important. If price rejects the level, closes back into the old range, or moves too far without offering a clean stop, the setup becomes lower quality. For me the cleanest version is a slower retest with volume improving in the direction of the idea.
This is not about being bullish or bearish by default. It is about having a plan for both continuation and failure before the market forces a decision.
