The Problem This Guide Helps You Solve
Reversal Blocks organizes zones where price has shown a confirmed reaction and highlights the zone midpoint, also called CE. This provides a location for studying a later retest. It differs from drawing a rectangle around any candle and assuming that the area will always act as support or resistance.
How to use this in your workflow
Work through these checks in order. The examples explain a process; they are not instructions to place a trade.
Understand why the zone is present
Read the product tutorial and inspect the price sequence that produced the zone. The marked reaction is historical evidence about that area, not proof that a future visit will behave the same way.
Watch the retest instead of anticipating it
If price returns, compare the reaction near the zone edge and midpoint with your entry criteria. A midpoint is a reference inside the zone; it does not independently confirm that buyers or sellers will defend it.
Identify a failed zone
Define what acceptance through the area would mean for your idea. If the reaction you expected does not occur, review the failed setup rather than repeatedly using the same rectangle to justify another entry.
Examples and limits
A hypothetical chart-reading example
A marked reaction zone is revisited after price moves away. A rejection near its midpoint is one sequence to study; sustained trading through the far edge is another. Record which sequence occurred and whether your planned conditions were met.
What this tool cannot tell you
A confirmed historical reaction does not make a future retest certain. Zones can fail, overlap, or become less relevant as the session changes. Neither the zone width nor the midpoint guarantees an appropriate stop distance.
Common Execution Mistakes To Avoid
-
Treating a historical example as a promised future outcome.
