Finding a Bearish Order Block

A bearish order block is a sell zone — where banks loaded up on sells before pushing price down.

What This Means

The mirror image of a bullish OB. You're looking for the last green (bullish) candle before a strong bearish move down. That green candle's body is your bearish order block. When price returns to this level later, banks will sell again, and price drops.

The Rule

Bearish OB = last green candle before a big move down. Mark the body. Sell when price returns.

Same logic as bullish — just the opposite direction.

Common Mistake

Bearish OBs above the current price are resistance. Bullish OBs below current price are support. You're always trading FROM these zones, not INTO them.
