Market Radar Methodology

Breaker Block Setup

The Breaker Block Setup identifies an opposing displacement-qualified Order Block that sweeps liquidity, fails by close, flips role, breaks market structure, and is later retested as support or resistance.

How a Breaker Block forms

The sequence starts with an opposing displacement-qualified Order Block that sweeps liquidity and initially drives price away. Price later closes through that block, proving the original Order Block has failed and can flip its role.

Aventra then requires a directional break of market structure and a later retest of the flipped zone. The retest must hold the Breaker far boundary; a failed block by itself is not enough.

Far boundary remains valid

Breaker Block versus ICT Unicorn

A Breaker Block is valid without a fair value gap. The ICT Unicorn model is stricter because it also requires a same-direction FVG to overlap the Breaker.

Market Radar displays the Breaker as one directional zone and marks Sweep, BOS, and Retest separately so their chronology remains readable.

Detection Focus

Liquidity sweep beyond the source Order Block
Failed opposing Order Block
Directional break of structure
Post-break retest of the flipped zone
Far boundary remains valid

Quality Signals

Source displacement strength
Structure-break displacement
Retest recency
Current price proximity

Invalidation

Price closes through the Breaker far boundary
No retest occurs after the structure break
Price leaves the active directional tolerance
