The last opposite-colored candle before a strong displacement move. It marks where large orders were likely placed and often acts as support or resistance on return.
How to identify it
- Last down candle before a strong rally (bullish OB)
- Displacement breaks structure away from it
- Zone is defined by that candle body or range
Entry
Enter when price returns into the order block and shows a reaction.
Stop loss

Target
The high/low created by the displacement and beyond.

A full candle close through the order block.
