Exactly! 💯 The beauty of SFPs is how they expose where liquidity was grabbed and then rejected. Once you train your eye to spot them, they become like a “map” of where the smart money is playing. The tricky part is having the patience to wait for confirmation — but when you do, they often align with the bigger trend beautifully.
