📕 2. Order Block (OB)
🔹 What is it?
An Order Block is the last bullish or bearish candle before a strong move in the opposite direction (usually caused by smart money).
🧠 Why it's important?
It shows where institutions placed orders. Price often returns to the OB for a mitigation (retest) before continuing.
📊 Types:
Bullish OB: Last bearish candle before a strong bullish move. Bearish OB: Last bullish candle before a strong bearish move.
🎯 Strategy:
Wait for price to return to the OB. Look for confirmation (like a break of market structure or entry inside FVG) to enter.
📌 Putting It Together
Identify the market structure (bullish or bearish). Mark the FVG and OB zones. Wait for price to return and react at those zones. Confirm entry with tools like MSS, Stochastic, or volume.
