Previous Week Low / High (PWL / PWH)

LiquidityWeeklyTime-Based

TL;DR

Previous Week Low (PWL) and Previous Week High (PWH) operate on the same principle as PDL/PDH but on the weekly timeframe — they represent the highest and lowest prices of the prior weekly candle. Because weekly levels accumulate significantly more liquidity than daily levels, sweeps at PWL/PWH tend to produce larger reversals and higher-conviction trade setups.

How It Works

  1. 1

    At the close of each weekly candle (Sunday/Monday UTC), the system records the high (PWH) and low (PWL) of that completed week.

  2. 2

    PWL is a major support-side liquidity pool — a week's worth of long stop losses accumulate below this level, creating deep SSL.

  3. 3

    PWH is a major resistance-side liquidity pool — a week's worth of short stop losses accumulate above this level, creating deep BSL.

  4. 4

    A PWL sweep triggers mass stop loss execution of weekly longs — Smart Money absorbs this sell pressure to fill institutional long positions. Expect strong bullish displacement after.

  5. 5

    A PWH sweep triggers mass stop loss execution of weekly shorts — Smart Money absorbs this buy pressure to fill institutional short positions. Expect strong bearish displacement after.

  6. 6

    PWL/PWH sweeps on the higher timeframe (4H–1D) carry significantly more weight than PDL/PDH sweeps, since the liquidity pool is deeper and institutional interest is proportionally larger.

LiquidMind AI Context

LiquidMind tracks PWL and PWH with the same mechanism as PDL/PDH but on the weekly interval. PWL is stored as side=1 and PWH as side=-1, with a 14-day TTL. The system identifies the previous Monday as the start of the reference week and fetches the weekly candle to extract the extremes. During signal evaluation, PWL/PWH confluence with other HTF POIs (e.g., 4H EFVG or 1D Breaker Block) produces the highest-tier trade setups in the scoring model. The AI engine treats PWL/PWH as 'macro liquidity' targets that override lower-timeframe noise.
