This is a complete aggregation of the TPO series. The platform I use the most is Exocharts but TradingView also offers a TPO option as well that can be used to start off.

Hope this was helpful. If you want more long form edu threads, like the first tweet in the thread.

Also considering doing a full series on youtube (will gauge interest through this thread) - link for youtube in bio.

Price is simply an advertising mechanism

with time regulating all advertised opportunities

and volume ultimately measuring the success or failure of all advertised opportunities.

Shifting Value & Value Area Range

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).Image
the quoted example happened to be a major turning point (this wasn't forecasted at the time but just showing an example that I mentioned at the time). Image

$BTC

zooming out, trading towards highs of 2 month balance value - pivotal imo.

reclaim prev week low for a shot at some reversion.

acceptance back inside opens up rotation to mid 100 area. Image
not taking price reclaim - need to see buyside aggression + passive support. lots of work required.
