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?

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?

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.
