Liquidity sweeps often pierce a trendline or prior swing, then reverse. Treating every pierce as a break of structure leads to late exits and noisy journals.
Ask three questions: Did follow-through persist beyond a few bars? Did a higher timeframe agree? Did volume or range expand in the break direction, or was it a thin spike?
In class we annotate both outcomes side by side. Over a month of journals, most students see their false-break rate drop simply by waiting for confirmation rules they wrote themselves.
