Price is the output of transactions, not an actor with goals. It does not test, hunt, respect, seek, want, or fail.
Full Explanation
Price has no awareness of support, resistance, your stop, a trendline, or a pattern on your chart. It is the number produced as aggressive orders transact against available liquidity. When the balance changes, the number changes. There is no decision-making process inside price itself.
This matters because intent-based language quietly creates expectations. Saying 'price is testing support' sounds as though the market deliberately went there to find out whether the level would hold. Saying 'sell aggression is arriving at an area that previously contained buy-side liquidity' describes the same observation without inventing a purpose or predicting the outcome.
Trade the Mechanics uses mechanical language because it keeps the trader focused on what can actually be observed. Price can relocate into an area, stop, reverse, overlap, or continue. Those are outcomes. The useful question is what the interaction is showing now, not what price supposedly wants to do next.
