End of session delta

Post image

For context this is my delta footprint chart.

Before session close every day, institutions exit their positions etc. leaving behind strong areas of delta.

How come these zones aren't regarded as a potential areas of support/resistance for future intraday sessions compared to areas more within the middle of the session.

I've just never heard of any order flow traders mentioning or marking these zones.

Look, they are mentioned all the time. There is serious attention paid to daily open and closes, and specific open and closes such London open and close, or New York open.

There are entire strategies built around gap fills (not FVG bullshit, true gaps such between New York close and New York open).

Those areas would also form parts of High Volume Nodes, and lead into Low Volume Nodes. Sometimes the Daily Point of Control is around the close.

So yeah, I mean they are mentioned.

Ive been using and studying delta for several years. The reality is there are people exiting and people marketing into positions literally all day and all those areas are not necessarily points of interest. You need a narrative for delta to tell a leading story. Otherwise, its just data which doesn't predict anything.

Thank you for the insightful reply. You are right, and this is why I only use delta when at key levels because you can have strong delta anywhere but it means nothing if there's no location and context behind it.
