@44emirr: When price is imbalanced up on quarterly value, developing value area high becomes support until acceptance is proven. That is not a discretionary call, that is the rule. You hold that read until price gives you time and space below the level, at which point the imbalance has shifted and the level flips. The same logic applies in reverse when you are imbalanced down. Developing VAL becomes resistance. Price will test it, fail to shift back inside, and that failure is confirmation that the imbalance is holding. What most traders miss is that the level does not just act once. It gets tested multiple times across the range and each rejection adds confluence to the directional read. When quarterly VAL is rejecting price repeatedly and price cannot shift back inside, that is not a bounce level. That is a ceiling, and the breakdown from it is the logical outcome of everything the market has already told you. #nq #tradingstrategy #orderflow #daytrading #ict
