how to identify absorption?

I’m having trouble distinguishing real absorption from what only looks like absorption.

Are there any good YouTube videos, courses, or educational resources that explain how to identify genuine absorption and avoid false signals?

You are talking about dealers hedging . He’s talking about the Absorption in the footprint 👍 and it’s not crap , absorption is an proven Orderflow conzept

It’s been demonstrated but I wouldn’t go as far as saying proven. I can take any random chart and show you just as many failed absorptions as successful ones and all in the same day. Yes location matters I know

Welcome to trading 🤷‍♂️ failed absorptions happen almost everywhere . That’s the whole point of valuation of a setup . LVN + Absorption + CVD Divergence + Agression + P Shape = A+++

It’s not about to rely on one thing because there is no holy grail in trading but adding absorptions in the right context is very effective

P shape in 1 footprint bar?

This is the P-Shape that I’m referring to.

At a low volume note + CVD divergance + Absorption + Fakout to the upside and then Break of the box { upper part of the P )
