#Click👇To👀Chart **ICT Order Blocks (Bullish): The Institutional Roadmap** 🏦📈
An **Order Block** is a key concept in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology, marking zones where institutional players likely placed large orders. Here’s what makes a **bullish Order Block** valid:
1. **Imbalance & Liquidity Run:** A down-close candle (or series) that sweeps **sell-side liquidity** (old lows) 🕯️📉.
2. **HTF Alignment:** Must align with a **higher timeframe (HTF) support level** 🏗️🔍.
3. **Confirmation:** Price must **close above the Order Block’s high** to validate it ✅📊.
4. **FVG Boost:** A **Fair Value Gap (FVG)** above the block adds strength, signaling displacement ⚡📈.
5. **50% Mean Threshold:** On retests, price should hold the **50% midpoint** of the block—violation invalidates it! 🎯⚠️
**Pro Tip:** Combine with **IPDA (Institutional Price Delivery Algorithm)** context for high-probability trades! 🧠💡 $BTC
