Overview
Price action studies how raw OHLC prints shape structure — higher highs/lows vs lower highs/lows, liquidity pockets, and failure swings. Context (session, volatility regime) matters more than patterns in isolation.Practical takeaway
Start with marking swings, then trend vs range regimes. Add indicators only when they answer a specific question the chart hasn’t already.How this connects to Finvestopia
