HTF Rejection Block [TakingProphets]

Overview

The HTF Rejection Block indicator is designed to help traders identify and visualize Higher Timeframe Rejection Blocks—price zones where liquidity grabs often result in aggressive rejections. These areas can serve as high-probability decision points when combined with other ICT-based tools and concepts.

Unlike simple support/resistance markers, this indicator automates the detection of Rejection Blocks, maps them across up to four custom higher timeframes, and updates them in real time as price evolves. It provides traders with a structured framework for analyzing institutional price behavior without supplying direct buy/sell signals.

Concept & Background

The idea of Rejection Blocks was popularized by Powell, a respected educator within the ICT trading community. He highlighted how aggressive wicks—where price sweeps liquidity and sharply rejects—often reveal institutional activity and can hint at future directional bias.

This script builds upon that foundation by integrating several ICT-aligned concepts into a single, cohesive tool:

Liquidity Sweep Recognition → Identifies where price aggressively moves beyond a key level before snapping back.

Rejection Block Mapping → Highlights the candle bodies representing institutional rejection zones.

Multi-Timeframe Context → Lets you monitor rejection zones from higher timeframes while operating on your execution timeframe.

Equilibrium-Based Planning → Optional midpoint plotting offers a precise way to evaluate premium/discount within each block.

By combining these elements, the indicator makes it easier to see where liquidity events may influence price and how they relate to broader ICT-based setups.

How It Works

Detection Logic

A Rejection Block forms when price runs liquidity past a prior high/low but fails to hold and closes back inside the range.

These setups are detected automatically and marked as bullish or bearish zones.

Multi-Timeframe Analysis

Monitor up to four higher timeframes at once (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W) while trading on your preferred execution timeframe.

Each block is clearly labeled and color-coded for visual clarity.

50% Equilibrium Levels

Optionally plot the midpoint of each rejection block, commonly used by ICT traders as a precision-based entry or target zone.

Auto-Mitigated Zones

When price fully trades through a rejection block, the zone is automatically removed to keep your chart clean.

Info Box for Context

An optional information panel displays the symbol, timeframe, and relevant data, helping you stay organized during active trading sessions.

Practical Usage

Select Higher Timeframes

Configure up to four HTFs based on your strategy (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D, Weekly).

Identify Rejection Blocks

Watch for new blocks forming after liquidity sweeps beyond significant highs or lows.

Combine With Other ICT Concepts

Use alongside STDV, displacement, SMT divergence, or OTE retracements for confirmation and added confluence.

Plan Entry Zones

Leverage the 50% midpoint or body extremes of each block to build structured trade setups.

Why It’s Useful

This tool doesn’t generate trading signals or claim accuracy. Instead, it provides a visual framework for applying ICT’s Rejection Block methodology systematically across multiple timeframes.

Its value lies in helping traders:

Recognize where institutional activity may leave footprints.

Map key liquidity-based zones without manual marking.

Stay aligned with higher timeframe narratives while executing on lower timeframes.
