Asia Range Breakout - The trap and the entry

Description:
This chart illustrates a textbook Asia Session Range breakout, highlighting both the manipulative trap and the ideal entry based on the SquawkTradeFX strategy.
🔹 Asia Session Range (Grey Box):

This tight consolidation forms overnight during the Asia session.
Price oscillates within a narrow high/low range, creating the trap zone.
This is the “wick zone” of the eventual daily candle.
🔹 The Trap — Liquidity Sweep:
Notice how price first fakes a breakout to the upside, breaking above the Asia High.
This is a liquidity grab, targeting early breakout buyers and triggering their stop-losses.
🔹 The Confirmation & Entry:
After the upside trap, price quickly reverses, sweeping back down.
Momentum increases and volume picks up as price breaks below the Asia Low.
This break signals a true shift in directional intent and offers a high-probability entry as the daily body forms.
🟢 Entry Zone:
Entry is taken on the bearish breakout of the Asia Low after the sweep.
Ideally confirmed with strong bearish candle structure and volume from the London or NY session.
📌 Why This Matters:
This setup exemplifies the SquawkTradeFX principle:
“Let the traps spring first — then strike with confirmation.”
