MitigationMitigation Block

When price returns to an unmitigated order block to fill remaining institutional orders before continuing.

Mitigation describes price returning to an Order Block that hasn't yet been retested. The OB is 'mitigated' once price has cleanly tested the zone and continued in the original direction. Mitigated OBs are USED UP — the institutional orders have been filled, and the zone loses its edge.

When scanning charts, you're looking for UNMITIGATED order blocks closest to current price. These are highest-probability re-entry points. Multiple unmitigated OBs stacked = multiple institutional supply/demand layers waiting for price.
