Price Dynamics

Time at Price

The proportion of session time that price spends at specific levels, with extended time signalling market acceptance and brief visits signalling rejection or fast movement through thin zones.

How Draconic reads it

Time at price reframes support and resistance from a visual concept to a participatory one. A level where price has spent 15% of the session's time is fundamentally different from a level touched once for thirty seconds. Extended time creates a value area; the market has repeatedly confirmed this price as fair. Brief visits create reference points: the market passed through but didn't stay. For stop placement, this distinction matters significantly. Stops below extended-time zones are less likely to be swept by routine noise; the zone has absorbed substantial activity and is unlikely to give way to a thin liquidity sweep. Stops below brief-visit levels have no such protection.
