Identifying Points Of Interest
Previous Month/Week/Day OHLC are always points of reference short-term traders use in order to place their trades.
Those act as high liquidity zones that can be magnets of price for the market to pull towards to.
The same is true for the previous value area of last session as visualized in this chart.
The yellow rectangle box is the previous day's market profile value area and TPOC.
We can see the market finding key resistance in the overnight that lead to a pullback with a bounce off of the previous month's highs.
Poor highs/lows is one of the best ways to identify if the "auction" is complete on this direction.
Lack of excess high of at least 2 tpo is an indication that the market has not gone high enough to cut off buying and bring in aggressive sellers.
Seen on the chart below, the poor highs on the US session are always going to be more significant (purple TPOs).
The following day after the poor high market had an excess high that pulled the market back towards the naked point of control of a prior ON session.
Resting liquidity is one of the most common terms used by traders to identify zones that people build their passive orders and await executions.
Having a real-time liquidity heatmap to visualize the large orders being executed as well as where other traders build passive orders is crucial.
As seen on the chart below, many times the price will pull back towards these resting orders before making a reversal.
The more resting "walls" the market has on a point of reference the higher the odds that they will act as key s/r for the market.
