Levels Have No Inherent Properties

A level cannot literally be strong, weak, respected, or broken in the way a physical object can. It is a price. What made that price matter on a prior visit was the collection of orders and aggression present at that particular time.

When price returns, those conditions may be completely different. Resting liquidity may have been consumed, replenished, moved, or withdrawn. The aggression arriving now may be much larger or smaller than before. The historical level is useful because it identifies a place where meaningful interaction occurred, but it does not bring the old order book back with it.

The mechanical read is therefore not 'this level should hold.' It is 'when aggression reaches this area, is it being absorbed or is price relocating through?' That keeps the level in its proper role: context for observation rather than a source of predictive power.
