NQ, ES.Breaker Block
When price sweeps a high, reverses and then breaks back down through the order block that produced the high, that block becomes a breaker. On the retest it acts as resistance instead of support. Breakers are excellent for the second entry of a reversal day.
Why it works
Anything that fails becomes a reference point for the winning side.
