📚 Quick Educational Insight – Why Balance Zones Are Critical
📌 Balance zones (like 5538 today) are "fair value" areas where buyers and sellers agree temporarily.
Markets coil here, absorbing liquidity.
The longer price holds in balance, the bigger the breakout when imbalance comes.
✅ What to watch:
Imbalance = breakout from balance.
Size of move often = size of the range * 2–3x.
🔥 Final Thoughts – Stay Sharp
Today shows textbook range behavior: probe both sides, revert to middle.
Keep plans ready for both breakout and breakdown scenarios after the close.
Risk will rise sharply when the breakout starts—stay nimble and respect stops!
🚀 Let’s finish the day strong!
