CRT Price Action Candle Guide Part 6 Understanding what each candle is telling you and how CRT interprets it. Most traders look at candles. I look at intention, liquidity, and range behavior. Interpretation of the six candle behaviors shown in this image simplified, structured, and ready for you to understand below 1. Seek & Destroy This candle is a liquidity trap. In CRT terms: • It sweeps both sides of the range • It shows no clear intention • It destroys both buyers and sellers • It leaves no clean displacement Why I avoids it: There is no directional narrative. The candle is engineered to liquidate both sides before the real move begins. 2. Expansion This is a Candle 2 displacement candle in CRT. Key characteristics: • Strong close above the previous range • Clear rejection from the lows • Momentum showing willingness to expand higher This candle often forms after a sweep, signaling that the market is ready to expand toward range highs or premium levels. This is the candle that creates the FVG you want to trade from. 3. Aim for Range Lows This candle signals downside intention. In CRT: • It rejects the highs • It closes weak • It signals that liquidity below the range is the next target This is not an entry it’s a directional clue. 4. Consolidation This is the no‑trade zone in CRT. Why? • No sweep • No displacement • No clear Candle 2 • No expansion narrative If the market is not attacking liquidity or expanding a range, you wait. Patience is a position. 5. Expansion Lower This is the bearish version of Candle 2. Key CRT signals: • Strong close below the range • Momentum pushing downward • Creates a bearish FVG • Shows willingness to expand into discount After a sweep of the highs, this candle confirms the downside expansion. This is where CRT traders prepare for the retracement entry. 6. Aim for Range Highs This candle signals upside liquidity is next. CRT explanation; • Rejection from the lows • Weak close downward • Market is preparing to attack the highs This is not the entry it’s the intention. Every candle is either: • Sweeping liquidity • Expanding a range • Returning to origin • Or doing nothing (avoid) CRT doesn’t trade candles. CRT trades the story behind the candles.
