Definition
Invalidation is the condition that proves a market read wrong. It can be a price level, a close beyond a zone, a failed reaction, or a change in context.
Why it matters
Without invalidation, a trader can keep defending a bad idea. Invalidation turns analysis from opinion into a testable thesis.
Better question
Do not ask only, “Where can I enter?” Ask first, “What would prove this wrong?”
Practice
For every chart idea, write the invalidation before writing the possible trigger.
