Core Elements of Price Action

Market Structure

Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL) → Uptrend

Lower Highs (LH), Lower Lows (LL) → Downtrend

Sideways → Consolidation

📌 Structure tells you whether buyers or sellers are in control.

Support & Resistance (S/R)

Horizontal levels where price has reacted before.

Support = buyers step in (floor).

Resistance = sellers step in (ceiling).

PA traders watch how candles react here → breakout, rejection, fakeout.

Candlestick Behavior

Pin bar / Wick rejections = rejection of price levels.

Engulfing candles = shift in momentum.

Doji / indecision = market pausing before next move.

📌 A single candle tells you the “fight” between buyers and sellers.

Order Blocks (ICT concept)

Last bullish/bearish candle before a strong move.

Represents institutional orders.

Acts like strong S/R zones.

Break of Structure (BOS) & Shift in Market Structure (SMS)

When price breaks a recent high/low, it signals continuation or reversal.

Example: HH → BOS → price retraces to OB → continues.

Liquidity

Price seeks liquidity (stop hunts, fake breakouts).

Equal highs/lows, trendline liquidity, and session highs/lows are key zones.

ICT often calls this the “Judas Swing” before real move.

Market Cycles (Wyckoff/ICT)

Accumulation → sideways, smart money entering.

Manipulation / Fake move (stop hunt).

Expansion / Distribution → strong trending move.

Reversal → cycle repeats.

🔹 Why Price Action Works

Indicators (RSI, MACD, etc.) are derived from price.

If you understand raw price → you’re ahead of lagging tools.

It helps you “read the tape” like institutions.

🔹 Example Workflow of a PA Trader

Identify trend / structure (up, down, range).

Mark key S/R levels, OBs, liquidity zones.

Wait for candle confirmation (engulfing, rejection, BOS).

Enter on retracement (FVG, OB, S/R retest).

Manage risk → Stop Loss below structure, TP at liquidity levels.
