Following a valid candle 2 or candle 3 closure, when dropping to the lower timeframes, there are situations where price does not initially confirm the CISD. Instead, price retraces into a fair value gap and then forms a new protected swing. In this case, price creates both the new protected swing (IC-CISD) and the CISD simultaneously.

When this occurs, it is important to confirm that price forms a clean “V” shaped reversal and that the higher timeframe bias is strong. Normally, when price fails to create a CISD, it drifts into consolidation, so the “V” shape and bias serve as the filter.

If both conditions are met, the invalidation level going into candle 3 can then be refined to the most recent protected swing.

This can then set up entries going into candle 3, directly after the CISD and IC-CISD formation, as a positional entry. It can also create continuation opportunities on the following candles once expansion begins.
