Structure
Order Block
The last opposing candle before a strong impulsive price move: the zone where institutions placed the large orders that propelled price, and where those interests often re-emerge when price returns.
How Draconic reads it
Order blocks mark where institutional participants entered with size. Because large orders cannot be fully filled in a single transaction without moving price against themselves, institutions leave residual interest at the level of their original entry. When price returns to an order block, that residual interest tends to re-emerge, creating a reaction. Untested order blocks — those not yet revisited by price — carry the highest probability because the original institutional interest hasn't been absorbed. Volume at the original order block candle indicates participation strength: higher volume at the block suggests more institutional commitment to that level. Order blocks combined with unmitigated FVGs at the same price create the highest-confluence structural zones available in price action analysis.
