The condition was named — and price met it

A random 1994 bar on McDonald's, weekly chart. All the markup by hand: the trend from the last two trading ranges, liquidity in discount, the monthly fractal and the reaction from it, three questions before the entry. What separates this episode from the previous one is that the confirmation ARRIVED: the invalidation was named aloud before the outcome (the idea is alive while price holds above the monthly most traded volume zone), and price never went back below it. Point A 12.78, point B 15.69; the high reached 16.99, so the target was passed with a dollar thirty to spare.

BREAKDOWN

Step by step

1. The trend — from the last two ranges

2. Lows hold, highs break

3. Price came into the discount zone

4. A fractal on the monthly

5. Liquidity taken from the fractal

6. Confirmation: a rejection block, already tested

7. And a larger most traded volume zone

8. The target: the high of the range

9. Valid while price holds above the monthly zone

10. Markup done — now the indicator checks it

11. The indicator confirms structure and ranges

12. Orange means liquidity taken — there is a reaction

13. Target passed: 16.99 against 15.69

IN THE METHODOLOGY

The order of the walkthrough

The trend is read from the last two trading ranges: the lows hold and the high is broken — that is what confirms the direction.

Liquidity is looked for in discount, not where it is easier to spot.

The monthly fractal and the reaction from it are read on the higher timeframe; the working chart stays weekly.

Three questions are asked before the entry, not after it: where point A is, where point B is, and what invalidates the idea.

The invalidation is named ALOUD in advance: the idea is alive while price holds above the monthly most traded volume zone. That makes the claim checkable instead of retold after the fact.

All the markup is done by hand first, and only then Trade Model is switched on — otherwise it is a hint, not a check. The indicator confirmed the direction and lit the fractal orange: that is how it marks liquidity that has been taken.
