Mitigation
When price returns to a zone to 'mitigate' trapped orders.
Full Definition
Mitigation occurs when price returns to a key zone (like an order block or breaker block) where orders are trapped. The return allows institutions to close positions at better prices or add to winning positions. Mitigation zones often provide entry opportunities as price reacts from these levels.
Example
After breaking below support, price returns to 'mitigate' buy orders trapped above. This pullback offers an entry for short positions before price continues lower.
