Price action: divergence, pin bar, FVG, zones

Factors that read the shape of the move itself, not derivatives of it.

Divergence

Price makes a new extreme and the oscillator does not. This is the only factor allowed to argue with the trend, and its weight is higher than the rest (2 against 1 for most).

Divergence does not say "it will turn now" but "the move is losing strength". The difference matters: a divergence can persist for a long time.

Pin bar and rejection at the edge

A candle with a long wick at the edge of a range: price went beyond the level and was rejected. The wick factor in the set is exactly this.

A streak of same-coloured candles

Five or six candles in a row in one direction are statistically more often followed by a pullback. The factor is a reversal one and is more useful in a range than in a trend.

FVG — fair value gap

A stretch price covered so quickly that a "hole" was left between the wicks of neighbouring candles. Such gaps are often filled later, and that is used as a reference.

Order block

The last opposite candle before a strong move — treated as a zone where large interest sat. The factor triggers when price returns to it.

Sweep — a liquidity grab

Price moves beyond an obvious level (yesterday's high, the edge of a range), collects stops and comes back. A sign that the breakout was false.

Fibonacci levels

A bounce off the 61.8 % retracement counts as a separate factor. It works not because the number is magical but because many people place orders at those levels.
