@44emirr: Absorption is when aggressive traders push price hard into a level and large passive interest shows up to absorb that move. The aggressive traders get trapped. Exhaustion is when aggressive traders push price hard and then just run out of steam. No support shows up. They collapse. Flushes are when positions get liquidated suddenly. Fast. Usually at highs and lows. These three mechanisms explain most reversals. Most reversals aren’t random. They’re one of these three happening. Understanding which one is happening tells you what to expect next. An absorption creates trapped traders. Those traders will try to escape. That creates opportunity. An exhaustion creates a vacuum. Price has to find new support. That creates volatility. A flush creates opportunity for buyers or sellers on the other side. That creates the next move. Identify which mechanism is happening and you know what comes next. That’s the edge. That’s how you read reversals instead of just guessing them. Most traders see a reversal and wonder why. You’ll see it coming because you understand the mechanism. #tradingstrategy #nq #orderflow #daytrading #ict
