In this segment of The Art Of Crypto’s video, the presenter explains the liquidity‑based distinction between weak and strong highs. A weak high fails to sweep prior liquidity, while a strong high follows a sweep that clears earlier liquidity, making it less likely to be retested. The speaker outlines an intraday trading setup that leverages these concepts: after a weak high creates a fair‑value gap, a sweep of that weak high is expected between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM New York time. This is followed by a 5‑minute breakdown forming a CUSD (Candle‑Up‑Squeeze‑Down) pattern. The trade entry is taken at the breakdown, with the stop placed just above the newly formed strong high. Aligning this setup with the trader’s daily bias increases the probability of success.

Now, what is a weak high? It's a high that does not sweep prior liquidity. What's an example of a strong high? Well, a strong high is something like this, where this high right here happens after sweeping out this previous high, right? It sweeps out liquidity before forming this high. So this makes this a strong high, which means it's unlikely to get tapped, especially if you can line this up with your daily bias. The setup for today is going to be like you're going to leave behind a fair value gap, you're going to leave behind a weak high, you're going to sweep out the weak high sometime between 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM New York, and then you're going to see a breakdown in terms of the 5-minute. You're You're going to get a 5-minute CUSD, and then you're going to take a trade entry here, stop here above the high, right? This will become the strong high. You should stop above the high, and off you go.
