Order blocks: what they try to model
An order block is the last opposing candle before a strong directional move — the theory being that institutional orders sat there. Whether that's literally true is debated; what's reliable is that these zones often act as future Dukungan or resistance because traders treat them that way.
Fair value gaps (FVGs)
An FVG is a three-candle imbalance where price moved fast enough that the middle candle didn't overlap with its neighbours' wicks. These zones tend to fill — sometimes within hours, sometimes weeks.
Honest application
Gunakan OBs and FVGs as zones of interest, not signals. They tell you where price is likely to react; they don't tell you direction. Combine with structure and risk control, never standalone.
