Step 3

Clear expansion from the Step 2 consolidation.

Step 3 is the clear directional expansion from the Step 2 consolidation or retest. Stoic Trader prefers a full close in the direction of the move for the clean examples.

After Step 3, wait for a clean pullback toward the 10/20 area and a completed eligible candidate. The directional trade-through confirms that candidate as the PTB. Do not enter from an unfinished pullback candle.

If price remains tangled around the moving averages or the structure fails, return to Wait.
