A liquidity sweep is a brief move that pushes price past an obvious high or low, where stop orders tend to rest, triggering those stops before price reverses. On a retail chart it is an inference drawn from price action, not something you can observe directly.
An order block is the last opposing candle before a strong, imbalanced move away from a level — the area price displaced from. It is treated as a zone where unfilled institutional orders may remain, and is an inference, not something a retail chart shows directly.
At the moment a level is exceeded they look identical. The test is the close: a candle that closes back inside the level suggests a liquidity sweep, while a candle that closes decisively beyond it suggests a genuine breakout.
