Order Blocks
What are Order Blocks?
Order blocks represent significant market activity within a specified time frame. Unlike individual block trades, these blocks aggregate multiple trades that occur simultaneously or within a short period, indicating substantial buying or selling pressure.
Key characteristics of order blocks:
High volume relative to average market activity
Potential to influence short-term price movements
Indicator of institutional or large-scale trader activity
