What this lesson covers
Price imbalance is closely related to the bank level and this lesson explains where the two differ. An imbalance is formed by a single candlestick, and it is the high of that candle that matters when price has broken to the upside. Structure breaks, a pullback follows, but the pullback does not fully retest the candle, and the untested portion is the imbalance. The lesson works through the formation on the chart and shows precisely what is being measured, since the area is defined by the candle rather than by the swing. It then covers what the imbalance tells you about the move that created it and why price so often returns to fill it before continuing, which is what makes it worth marking.
