# Pure Price Action Liquidity Sweeps

Pure Price Action Liquidity Sweeps is an indicator on [Vela](https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart), our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.

Pure Price Action Liquidity Sweeps flags the moment price wicks through a swing level and snaps back: a sweep of resting stops. Swing points are detected purely from price patterns and graded short, intermediate, or long-term, and you pick the rank whose levels are watched for sweeps. No numeric settings to tune, just structure.

**Pure Price Action Liquidity Sweeps** marks each [liquidity sweep](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/liquidity-sweep/) as it forms: price pierces a swing level, cannot hold the break, and retreats, leaving the telltale wick. The engine needs no numeric settings: swing points are read from price patterns alone, a short-term swing high being a peak flanked by lower highs and a short-term swing low a trough flanked by higher lows, then promoted into intermediate and long-term ranks as structure develops.

## How to Trade the Pure Price Action Liquidity Sweeps?

- **Bullish sweep**: a raid through a swing low that snaps back above the level. Resting sell-side stops filled, potential fuel for a reversal or continuation higher.
- **Bearish sweep**: a pierce of a swing high that cannot hold the break and retreats, the mirrored setup.
- **Level rank**: sweeps of intermediate- and long-term levels carry more trading relevance than short-term ones; filtering to higher ranks strips noise and keeps the levels most traders watch.

Because the hierarchy is recursive (intermediate swings are found among short-term ones, long-term among intermediate), significance grading follows the market's own structure rather than a fixed lookback, and the Intermediate-term option alone removes a large share of noisy levels.

## Pure Price Action Liquidity Sweeps Settings

- **Detection** (default Long Term): chooses the swing significance used for sweep detection, so you can watch every sweep or only those at levels that matter to your horizon.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What exactly counts as a liquidity sweep here?
A move that penetrates a detected swing level and swiftly retreats, printing a wick through it. The indicator marks both bullish and bearish cases, letting you anticipate potential reversals or continuations around the swept level.

### How does it relate to the original Liquidity Sweeps indicator?
[Liquidity Sweeps](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-sweeps/) is the precursor this build evolved from. The pure price action version swaps numeric detection settings for pattern-ranked swing points, trading a tunable dial for objectivity.

### Where can I get it?
The indicator is free to grab from the LuxAlgo Library, and Quant, our coding agent, will load it from this page so you can watch how sweeps print on your markets. You can also copy the source code from this page and run it anywhere Pine Script® runs.
