@44emirr: Price is at resistance. Aggressive buyers start pushing. They want to break through. They’re buying aggressively. The delta is positive. It’s getting extended. Then here’s where it gets interesting. Large passive sellers show up. They’re not aggressive. They just place sell orders at this resistance level. They let the buyers come to them. The buyers keep pushing. Keep hitting those sell orders. The sellers keep providing supply. Eventually the buyers get tired. They stop pushing. All those buyers who were aggressive at resistance? Now they’re trapped. They’re long extended price. Price hasn’t broken resistance. The sellers didn’t have to push. They just had to sit and provide supply. Now price reverses. The trapped buyers panic. They try to exit. They hit bids. That creates more selling. The move accelerates downward. That’s absorption. That’s how smart money traps aggressive retail traders. Not by being more aggressive. By being patient. By absorbing the aggression. By sitting and letting the aggressive traders come to them. Understanding this mechanic changes how you read orderflow. Aggressive delta isn’t always bullish. Sometimes it’s setting up the trap. #tradingstrategy #nq #orderflow #daytrading #ict
