So just to keep things simple, this is potentially a day where this is a— we're going to get the manipulation underneath, probably within the next hour, or like we're going to stay around here for the next 2.5 hours or so, maybe 2 hours. And if price starts showing a changing state of delivery, basically breaking towards the upside— and like, let me just paint an example of what we're looking for specifically. If you take a look at this bearish order block right here, price broke down of this bearish order block, came up to retest it, And then respected it, right? Basically, price failed to break a new high. In fact, if you look at every single bearish order block that was formed within this swing here, you can obviously see that this is bearish order flow because bearish PD arrays are being respected. You have also bearish fair value gaps that are being respected. And I see the comments out there. A lot of you seem to be commenting on the fact that I have somehow managed to turn the word fair value gap from fair value gap, 3 words into one word. And hey, we're going to stick to this trademark fair value gap.
