2.(10 AM) REVERSAL
The 10 AM reversal is a common phenomenon in the markets.
where price tends to shift direction around 10:00 AM EST
[Link] Volatility Settling Down:
The market reacts to economic reports, news, and overnight activity
during the opening hour. By 10 AM, traders reassess the opening moves.
2. Liquidity Traps:
Market makers may use the early session to engineer liquidity grabs
(e.g., stop hunts above/below key levels). The reversal marks the start
of a true directional move.
3. Institutional Activity:
Institutional traders finalize their positions post-open, potentially
leading to order flow shifts.

4. M15 ORDER FLOW
The M15 (15-minute) order flow is a key timeframe for aligning intraday
trading decisions with the overall market trend
Don’t always focus on the 1-minute chart initially; first, confirm the market's
direction on M15, and then look for setups that align with the trend.
M15 ORDER FLOW = BIAS
