Order Block (OB)

An analyst-defined three-candle price range with no overlap between the first and third candle's wicks after a fast move. It is a chart annotation, not proof of institutional activity, unfilled orders, future liquidity, or a likely price return.

Trading slang for a rapid move through an observed price level followed by a reversal. The pattern alone does not show who traded, where stop orders sat, or whether manipulation occurred.

An informal chart label for price moving beyond a user-defined prior swing high or low. It is not a standardised measure, proof of institutional order flow, or confirmation of a trend reversal.

An informal label for a previously marked chart zone that price breaks and later revisits. It does not show that an earlier order existed, was unfilled, or was closed at break-even.

An informal chart label for a selected zone that price later breaks and may revisit, sometimes after crossing a prior high or low. It does not prove a stop hunt, manipulation, or a trend change.

An informal name for a selected candle before a later move. A candle cannot identify the trader, capital source, or an institutional decision behind that move.
