The downside targets have already been reached, as I was unable to release this newsletter before the overnight session opened. 4595 is the short-term level of interest that buyers want to reclaim. I'll be monitoring whether the sellers can break and hold below 4575, as it could indicate a notable "shift in tone".

I noticed in the order flow charts , the bars seem 17 ticks wide. Is that correct?

What’s the difference between bar delta and finished delta?

Expand full comment

The Delta Finish is the pullback of delta from its max/min. This reversal bar had a max delta of +1242, then it pulled back from its max, to close at +569, so the Delta Finish was -646.

Translation: Big aggressive buying effort initially (+1242 delta), absorbed by passive sellers (price stall) and then aggressive sellers enter (-646 delta), essentially trapping the buying effort, confirming the reversal. Absorption by itself is not enough for a reversal, aggressive sellers need to enter to confirm the trap.

Master what do you think of combining last 3 days profile?

Expand full comment

Yeah, combining the last three sessions creates a perfectly balanced profile. The short-term focus now rests on whether buyers can reclaim acceptance within this composite profile.

Brilliant analysis. I keep your data and place the levels on my platform.

It's a chaotic market, what should we make of the noticeable order flow activity at 4540 and 4535? I'm hoping for the emergence of ARH as this is a session where ON and IB Low remain gapped downwards.

Smash, can you explain the ETH Gap?, I know it happens rarely and causes volatility.
