Order blocks across timeframes

Order Blocks & Premium/Discount

Bigger timeframe, bigger footprint

A daily order block represents far more accumulated size than a 5-minute order block. When both exist near the same price, the higher timeframe zone is the one that matters most.

Zone from above, entry from below

A practical approach: mark the higher timeframe order block first to set the zone of interest, then zoom into a lower timeframe once price arrives there for a refined entry.

Stacked zones react hardest

A lower timeframe order block that forms inside a much bigger higher timeframe order block often reacts the hardest, since both zones agree on the exact same untraded territory.

Check yourself

A daily order block compared to a 5-minute order block generally carries…

  1. More weight, given the size of participation behind it correct
  2. Less weight, small timeframes always dominate
  3. Identical weight in every case

More capital and more participants stand behind a daily-scale accumulation zone.
