Once price engages with the refined key level and reverses, it forms the low within the protraction phase of the higher-timeframe candle, indicated by a swing formation. Mark the equilibrium of the previous candle’s range as your new invalidation level for that key level.

Continuation Invalidation
Once price expands away from the swing confirmation, it confirms that the protraction phase is over and simultaneously creates key levels that will serve as the invalidation points for continuation.

4H Protraction Invalidation
4H Protraction Invalidation
4H Protraction Invalidation
During the protraction phase, mark the equilibrium of the previous 4H range. The continuation invalidation key level formed within the expansion phase will serve as the refined key level, positioned within the upper half of that 4H equilibrium range.
During the protraction phase, mark the equilibrium of the previous 4H range. The continuation invalidation key level formed within the expansion phase will serve as the refined key level, positioned within the upper half of that 4H equilibrium range.
