Analyzing the conditions and influences affecting the EURUSD pair, a thorough assessment of the market trend revealed a shift toward bearish sentiment. This shift led to the overpowering of demand by supply, creating a significant supply order block just above the change in character known as flip OB. To validate its strength, a Fair Value Gap was observed alongside the establishment of the order block. Furthermore,on the same leg of the FVG ,on the lower timeframe, an extreme disequilibrium occurred within a 4HR swing, which explains the propulsion of the first bearish leg with rapid momentum from sell orders.
The price projection indicated a major demand order block (OB) on the weekly timeframe as its next target. The zone was mitigated with a remarkable uniqueness, evidenced by a full -1% candle. In response, the weekly demand OB retaliated with full momentum, reclaiming 60% of the candle's range.
Following this reaction, the price consolidated for six days just above the weekly OB. The main objective during this period was to reach a significant Fractal Order Block (FCTL OB) on the 1-hour timeframe, nested within the massive weekly OB. However, the attempt to mitigate the FCTL OB resulted in a notable weakening of selling power. This created a high concentration of liquidity within and below that price level, generating tension. With the weekly OB mitigated, the untouched 1-hour OB remains, indicating a second opportunity for the price to initiate a move within the current major supply zone it resides in and eventually lead to mitigation.
Partially within this flip supply OB being mitigated, a supply OB was confounded above, representing a healthy level of supply directly above. These two order blocks were partially intertwined, with a common zone of confluence referred to as the Area of Confluence (AOC). This AOC held substantial power as it marked the premium extremities of the main swing prior to the current active one.
As observed, the price initially mitigated the first zone, followed by a correction manifested in three gentle bearish candles. Subsequently, it headed towards the area of confluence. Upon reaching this zone, a candle exhibiting strong robustness indicated that bullish order flow was facing intense selling pressure.
These observations and analysis provide insights into the market dynamics, highlighting the interactions between order blocks, supply and demand, and the future movements of the EURUSD pair.
