Blocks

Footprints of Smart Money

Blocks represent the specific candles where institutions initiated large orders. Unlike standard Support & Resistance lines, Blocks are dynamic zones that tell you where the big money entered the market.

When price returns to these zones, institutions often defend their positions, leading to predictable reactions.

Block Types

1. Order Block (OB)

The classic reversal zone.

• Bullish OB: The last down-close candle before a massive move up that broke structure.

  • Psychology: Institutions sold to engineer liquidity before buying heavily. When price returns, they mitigate their drawdown, causing a bounce.

• Bearish OB: The last up-close candle before a massive move down that broke structure.

2. Breaker Block (BB)

A failed Order Block that creates a reversal opportunity.

• Logic: Imagine a Bullish OB that fails to hold price. Price smashes right through it.

• The Flip: That failed buy zone now becomes a sell zone (Resistance). This is excellent for trading reversals or stop hunts.

3. Macro Order Block (MOB)

• Logic: Unlike standard OBs which can form anywhere, MOBs are strictly derived from major Swing Points.

• Usage: These carry significantly more weight and are ideal for Higher Timeframe (HTF) analysis.

Volume & Strength

Not all blocks are powerful. We use volume analysis to grade them for you:

• 💪 Strong: The block was formed with high relative volume. Probability of holding: High.

• ⚖️ Balanced: The block had average volume. Probability of holding: Medium.

• 🥀 Weak: The block had low volume. Probability of holding: Low. Use with caution.
