Short, plain-English guides to the concepts every breakdown uses. Educational only.
A fair value gap is a three-candle pattern where a strong middle candle moves so fast that the wicks of the candles on either side don't overlap.
A liquidity sweep happens when price pushes just beyond an obvious swing high or low, where many stop orders sit, and then quickly reverses back inside.
In smart money concepts, an order block is the last down candle before a strong move up (bullish) or the last up candle before a strong move down (bearish).
Market structure is the sequence of swing highs and lows.
Support is an area where buying has stepped in before, slowing or reversing declines.
A demand zone is a base that price left sharply upward; a supply zone is a base price left sharply downward.
A breakout and retest is a three-step sequence: price breaks through a well-defined level, comes back to test it from the other side, and holds.
The opening range is the high and low price set during the first part of the trading session, often the first 5, 15 or 30 minutes.
An exponential moving average (EMA) smooths price and weights recent candles more heavily.
RSI divergence happens when price makes a new high or low but the RSI doesn't confirm it.
