Range Trading & Value (Part 2) - 🧵
Auction Market Theory + Flow
Part 2 covers practical frameworks including examples & discussion for trading in a range.
Rotational regimes are great for trading if you are patient and know what you're looking for.
Here's how that can look:
In a range-bound environment the question I'm looking to answer when price navigates towards extremes of value established in a ranging environment:
is the advertised discount or premium still considered a discount or premium by participants once price moves towards & away from extremes of value?
can deploy a two-pronged approach to attempt to answer this question:
1. passive flow 2. aggressive flow
1. Passive Flow
What does passive flow mean?
Why consider looking at aggregate spot behavior?

2. Aggressive Flow

Potential Frameworks to consider
Cheat Sheets from @leviathancrypto
@Luckshuryy as a good resource for some of these frameworks as well as use of Exocharts.
3. Bonus - Market Profile
Use of MP anomalies & naked point of control.
will aggregate all MP information in a thread next (what it is, how it can be useful, explanations on anomalies, what they mean & how they can be used + naked point of controls)
Hope this was insightful. Tried to provide some nuanced frameworks that can be used to create your own ideas.
Takes a significant amount of time to put these visuals together so if you want more of these, engage with the first tweet in the thread.

Not rocket science but something to look for when it comes to $BTC slowing down on a sell-off and attempting to spot a break in one sided momentum:
1. consecutive days with value shifting lower (little to no over lap) into a few tight sessions sideways.
2. wide days followed by a tighter value area range - observe participation at lows.
ideally trapped sellers can lead to a temporary bounce - if temporary bounce occurs observe buying aggression followed by passive behavior.
i.e. is there follow through on the bounce? is aggression stepping in higher? are dips being cushioned through passive buying gradually shifting higher?
btw a break in the trend could just be a breather for continuation in the same direction but this is the first sign to pay attention to what session value looks like in the succeeding days.
If action starting to slowdown into a key contextual area - pay more attention (additional example below).
