What the chart shows

The rule found a bullish order block: the down bar starting Sun 23:00 UTC (open $4,079.1, close $4,063.8), range $4,062.5–$4,082.2. Within 3 bars price closed $50.7 above its high (2.9 times the average hourly range).

Price later closed through the block at Tue 13:00 UTC, which cancels it.

What is an order block?

An order block is the last candle against the trend before a strong move: the last down candle before a sharp rally, or the last up candle before a sharp drop. The idea is that large orders were placed there, and price often reacts when it returns to it.

The rule that found it

A bullish order block is a down bar (close below open) where the next bar closes above its high and the best close of the next 3 bars is at least one average hourly range above that high. A bearish one is the mirror image. The block with the largest move away from it is shown, from its low to its high, and later bars are checked for a return into it.

How traders use it

  • Treat the block as a zone and wait for price to return to it.
  • A common plan: enter on a reaction inside the block in the direction of the move that left it, place the stop just beyond the block, and aim for the high (or low) of that move.
  • A block that price closes through is invalid; the best ones also line up with a gap, a swing level or a higher-timeframe trend.
