HRLR vs LRLR — Protected vs Targeted Liquidity
Some liquidity is defended (HRLR), some is a clean target price runs to quickly (LRLR).
Not all liquidity is equal. A High-Resistance Liquidity Run (HRLR) level is "protected" — price has repeatedly defended it, and getting through means a slow, grinding fight.
A Low-Resistance Liquidity Run (LRLR) level is a clean pool with little defense in front of it — old, untested highs/lows or equal extremes with an unobstructed path — and price tends to run to it fast.
This distinction, popularised by Talaria Trade, refines target selection: aim your trades at LRLR pools and be suspicious when your target requires chewing through HRLR territory.
How to trade it
- Prefer targets on the low-resistance side: clean equal highs/lows with few swing obstacles between price and the pool.
- When bias allows two draws, pick the one price can reach without fighting defended levels.
Pitfalls
- Targeting a heavily defended level and getting stopped in the grind before it is reached.
- Labeling liquidity as LRLR just because you want the trade — count the actual obstacles in the path.
