What Is a Mitigation Block?
A mitigation block is a zone price returns to in order to “mitigate” (offset) positions that were trapped during a prior move. It's closely related to the order block — a supply/demand area where institutions manage exposure before continuing in the intended direction.
The idea
When price makes a sharp move, some large positions get caught offside. Price often revisits the area those positions came from, lets them get mitigated, and then continues. That revisit zone is the mitigation block — a spot to look for continuation entries.
How to use it
Treat mitigation blocks like order blocks: wait for the retest, look for a reaction, enter with the trend, stop beyond the block, target the next liquidity.

Mitigation block vs order block?
Very similar. The distinction is subtle — a mitigation block emphasizes price returning to offset trapped positions before continuing.
Are they reliable?
They're probability zones. Use with structure, liquidity and risk management.
