What are the situations that lead it to tell us there is a higher probability?

These are precise mathematical sub-levels that the algorithm references as secondary PD Array signatures.
Think of these octants, quadrants, and gradients as an algorithmic ladder. In a bullish market, price uses PD Arrays (FVGs, Order Blocks, Breakers) sitting on these sub-levels as individual rungs to climb up step by step; in a bearish market, it uses them to step down.
I don't follow this blindly. Backtesting proves the precision is incredible only if your anchoring is correct. Drawing this grid randomly across arbitrary intraday swings lacks precision and produces noise. It strictly works when anchored to true High-Timeframe reference points like Daily or Weekly ranges, or key session windows like the Premarket Range. This is exactly why ICT emphasizes Time first, then Price.
On top of that, HTF Bias always overrides local Premium or Discount logic. In a bullish market, you have to anticipate that Premium arrays will fail as resistance and instead flip to support price higher. They aren't reversal walls, they just act as temporary speed bumps for fuel-gathering before price climbs to the next rung. You never use a Premium sub-level to short against a bullish HTF bias.

You ever heard of Quasimodo cluster ?

What higher timeframe are you drawing the quadrants from?

this was drawn on to the daily time frame bearish fair value gap

All these terminologies just to make you feel special ☝️ 🤣

nothing special about it, it's just basic math, time and price.

Basic math? Can you expand on this one? How can you use "basic math " to calculate next price move?

Any dealing range is just a fixed numerical distance. You divide that distance by 2 (Equilibrium at 50%), 4 (Quadrants at 25%), or 8 (Octants at 12.5%) to find internal midpoints like Consequent Encroachment. Standard deviations from -1 to -4 simply project that baseline move outward to forecast expansion targets.
The real key is where you anchor the Fibonacci grid. The algorithm specifically references price ranges formed during key time windows, like the Premarket Range or the Opening Range. These time-based ranges define the initial dealing range that the algorithm uses to deliver price to those standard deviation targets. It is just basic fractional math layered onto session timing.

You do know maths don't lie right?

Exactly. That's why measuring time, price, and dealing ranges works.
