Learning update: I spent yesterday and today studying POI, Order Blocks, and Refinement. I also practiced on some crypto pairs. I’ll add the charts to this post.
Right now, I forgot all my chargers (laptop, power bank, and phone) in another state, so that has slowed me down a bit.
But I’m still taking the class, and from today onward, I’ll be posting my daily lessons here for accountability. 🚀
I started this technical analysis journey two Sundays ago and planned to share my lessons here for discipline, accountability, and consistency. I haven’t been as consistent as I hoped, and I also didn’t post the things I’ve been learning and practicing.
Day 2 — Deep Dive into Market Structure 📚📈
Today, I learnt about two important concepts: Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH).
🔹 BOS happens when price creates:
• A new high above the previous high in an uptrend, or
• A new low below the previous low...
So far, I’m gaining more clarity and correcting a lot of misunderstandings I previously had about Technical Analysis—especially when viewing charts here on X.
Day 3 & 4 – Learning Order Blocks (OB)
Order Blocks are the last opposite candle before a strong impulsive move that breaks market structure — meaning the final bullish or bearish candle before price shifts aggressively and creates a BOS.
✓ A bearish OB acts as a supply zone for possible sell entries.
✓ A Break of Structure (BOS) must occur before confirming a valid OB.
Types of Order Blocks:
🔹 Mitigated OB: Price has returned to tap the zone.
🔹 Unmitigated OB: Price has not yet returned to the zone.
We have two types:
🔹 Bullish OB: Last bearish candle before an impulsive move upward.
🔹 Bearish OB: Last bullish candle before an impulsive move downward.
Key points:
✓ A bullish OB acts as a demand zone for possible buy entries.
...or vice versa.
It’s not a strategy, but a concept that helps you understand market transitions.
Another key lesson: every expansion will always be followed by a retracement for efficient price delivery.

... In a downtrend.
We also have major and minor BOS:
• In an uptrend, the expansion move usually creates the major BOS, while retracements and internal movements form the minor/internal BOS.
🔹 CHoCH marks the point where market direction shifts — from uptrend to downtrend...
Then I moved into Price Expansion vs Price Retracement:
🔹 Price Expansion: Those strong, impulsive moves that push price in a direction 🚀
🔹 Price Retracement: The small pullbacks or corrections before the market continues again 🔄
Day 1: Market Structure 📊🔥
Kicked off Day 1 of my learning journey, and wow… market structure is starting to make sense! 😅📈
Here’s what I learnt today:
🔹 Uptrend: When the market keeps making Higher Highs & Higher Lows — basically, the bulls are in control 🐂✨
