FAIR VALUE GAP OR ORDER BLOCK ENTRYA fair value gap (FVG) and an order block entry are concepts used in technical analysis within financial markets to identify potential trading opportunities. ### Fair Value Gap (FVG) A fair value gap refers to a price range on a chart where there is an imbalance between buyers and sellers, often resulting in a quick movement through this area without much trading activity. This gap can create a zone of interest where price may return to fill the gap, presenting a potential trading opportunity. Traders look for these gaps to predict price movements, expecting that the market will revisit these areas to achieve a fair value. ### Order Block Entry An order block is a consolidation area where significant buying or selling has taken place, often by institutional traders. These blocks are typically identified by a cluster of orders that create a strong support or resistance level. When price returns to this level, it often reacts due to the presence of unfilled orders, providing a strategic entry point for traders. Order blocks are used to predict where the price might reverse or continue its trend, offering a high-probability entry signal based on historical price action. Both concepts are used by traders to make informed decisions based on the past behavior of price and volume, aiming to identify areas where significant trading activity is likely to influence future price movements.

ORDER BLOCK CONFIRMATION ENTRY PART 2Sure! Here's another description of order block confirmation with a focus on practical application and detailed examples: ### Understanding Order Block Confirmation: Order block confirmation is a technique used by traders to identify and validate significant price levels where large orders from institutional traders have been placed. These levels often act as strong support or resistance zones. Confirming an order block helps traders make informed decisions about entry and exit points in the market. ### Detailed Steps for Order Block Confirmation: 1. **Identify Potential Order Blocks:** - **Bullish Order Block:** Look for a downtrend that ends with a strong bullish reversal, marked by one or more large bullish candlesticks. - **Bearish Order Block:** Look for an uptrend that ends with a strong bearish reversal, identified by one or more large bearish candlesticks. 2. **Analyze Market Structure:** - **Trend Context:** Determine whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or sideways movement. This context helps in predicting the likelihood of the order block holding. - **Key Levels:** Note the order block's alignment with significant support or resistance levels. 3. **Volume Analysis:** - High volume during the formation of the order block is a strong indicator of institutional activity. Look for volume spikes that coincide with the large candlesticks forming the order block. 4. **Price Action Confirmation:** - **Engulfing Patterns:** A bullish engulfing pattern at a potential bullish order block or a bearish engulfing pattern at a potential bearish order block can confirm the level. - **Pin Bars and Rejection Candlesticks:** Candlesticks with long wicks (e.g., pin bars, hammers, shooting stars) at the order block level indicate strong rejection and confirm the presence of significant buying or selling interest. - **Break and Retest:** Confirmation is stronger if the price breaks through the order block level and then retests it as support (for bullish order blocks) or resistance (for bearish order blocks). 5. **Indicator Confirmation:** - **RSI (Relative Strength Index):** If the RSI shows overbought conditions at a bearish order block or oversold conditions at a bullish order block, it provides additional confirmation. - **Moving Averages:** The interaction of price with moving averages (e.g., 50 EMA, 200 EMA) near the order block level can confirm its validity. A bounce off or crossover can be significant. 6. **Confluence of Factors:** - Multiple confirmations such as Fibonacci retracement levels, pivot points, and trend lines aligning with the order block increase its reliability. ### Practical Examples: 1. **Bullish Order Block Confirmation:** - Suppose the price of a stock is in a downtrend and reaches a level where it forms a large bullish candlestick, followed by increased volume. - The RSI indicates oversold conditions. - The price breaks above the identified order block and later retests this level, forming a bullish pin bar. - This confluence of signals confirms the bullish order block, suggesting a potential entry point for a long position. 2. **Bearish Order Block Confirmation:** - Consider a forex pair in an uptrend that hits a resistance level, forming a large bearish candlestick with a volume spike. - The RSI shows overbought conditions. - The price breaks below the identified order block and retests it, forming a bearish engulfing pattern. - This setup confirms the bearish order block, indicating a potential entry point for a short position. ### Trade Execution and Management: 1. **Entry:** Based on the confirmed order block, place a buy order at the bullish order block or a sell order at the bearish order block. 2. **Stop-Loss:** Set stop-loss orders just below the bullish order block or above the bearish order block to manage risk. 3. **Take Profit:** Identify potential take-profit levels based on historical price action, nearby support/resistance levels, or using risk-reward ratios. By following these detailed steps and examples, traders can effectively use order block confirmation to enhance their trading strategies and improve their chances of successful trades.

"The Bodies Tell The Story.. The Wicks Do The Damage" - ICTIn this video I'm going to go through one of ICT's most famous sayings, which is "The bodies tell the story, and the wicks do the damage". If haven't taken the time to understand what he means, then you are seriously putting yourself at a disadvantage if you are using his concepts. This is one of the most crucial and useful pieces of the ICT puzzle. You often hear him say that the wicks are painting outside of the lines, which he sees as permissable when he is trading his PD Arrays. So without further ado, I'll try my best to provide some insight. For illustrative purposes I'll use his Market Maker Sell Model. Just to note that this is not a video teaching about his market maker models, so the focus will not be on that or his other concepts. If you don't understand a certain term or concept, please check out ICT's YouTube Channel or the countless other resources online. This video will be predominantly shedding some light on candle bodies and wicks. I urge you to go into your own charts and do your own study. This will truly be something eye opening if it is the first time you've actually decided to take notice. - R2F

🌕🚀Long Opportunity on SOL/USDT: Leveraging POC, Fibs and SMC💰Welcome to my trading idea for SOL/USDT! We're eyeing a long position based on a confluence of factors including the Point of Control (POC), Fibonacci retracement levels, and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with a Bullish Order Block (OB). Entry: Our entry point is strategically set at 173.78, residing within the Golden Pocket of Fibonacci retracement levels. This zone not only intersects with significant POCs but also aligns with a Bullish OB, reinforcing its attractiveness as a potential entry point. Stop Loss: To manage risk effectively, our stop-loss order is positioned at 165.22. Placed below the Golden Pocket, OB, and POCs, this level provides a buffer against potential downward movements. Take Profit: Our take-profit target is set at 200.20$. This represents our first profit-taking level (TP1) and offers a favorable risk-reward ratio. By leveraging these technical indicators and market insights, we aim to capitalize on potential bullish momentum in SOL/USDT, while ensuring prudent risk management. Remember to adjust your position size according to your risk tolerance and always stay informed of market developments.

XAUUSD 4H FVG Area and Finding Lower HighXAUUSD still on bearish trend on 4H TF and want to find their lower high (2047 - 2049). If trendline break very possible to going into their lower high before (2064 - 2065) or maybe higher at their higher OB (2085 - 2088). I am looking for Buy setup on LTF at 4H FVG. On LTF there is a support area too on 4H FVG. Pretty good for entry and waiting for rejection candle and CHoCH. But if there is a rejection after hit the trendline, we looking for sell setup.

2018 Rejection ===> 2002 Looking at this chart, we can see Price was moving in a a 1HR range, from 2015, we saw some rejection that took Price down to 2005 where Price failed to close below the range, and we saw a sharp rejection at the imbalance/FVG to the upside which brought us to 2014 where Price finally closed above the range, and it continued trending up to 2017. The rejection at the FVG/Imbalance is a liquidity that needs to be taken if Price wants to make another swing high, which means Price might get to 2002 after sweeping the current high at 2018, and getting rejected. More update will follow at NY Session where the action resides. I would love to hear your thoughts 🤔 on this, so feel free to leave a comment ✍.
