1. Aggressive/Passive

Aggressive = market orders (liquidity taker)
Passive = limit orders (liquidity maker)

Aggressive orders are what moves markets, they are matched with passive orders. Use these to find who is offside and need to puke their position.

2. Delta

The difference between aggressive buying and aggressive selling for a given candle.

candle.buyVol - candle.sellVol = http://candle.Delta 

Shows the intentions behind market participants. Look for imbalances between delta and price.
4/11 - $BTC

3. Cumulative Volume Delta

A running total of delta. Look for divergences to spot where one side of the market may be offside. Shows where the market has been trying to go.

candle.CVD = http://candle.Delta  + prevCandle.CVD
5/11 - $BTC

4. TPO

Time price opportunity. Shows where price has spent the most or least time, allowing you to gauge the intentions/beliefs of market participants. Works based off the idea of market auction theory (price is always looking for "fair value").
6/11 - $BTC

5. Value Area

Range of prices where the most vol. (or time for TPO) was took place (~70% or 1 Std. Dev.). Within this VA, we are close to "fair value", and neither buyers nor sellers look to get aggressive. Any initiative taken could be a clue in a shift of balance.
7/11 - $BTC

6. POC

Point-of-Control: either the price at which the most volume was transacted OR where price spent the most time (TPO). Represents areas of greatest market participation from all time-frame participants, can act as good S/R.
8/11 - $BTC

7. Single Print

Represents a place where price did not remain longer than 30 minutes (1 TPO print). Market participants either aggressively stepped in to reverse price or heavy initiative was taken to move price to a new area of balance.
9/11 - $BTC

8. Poor High/Low

High/low that lacked an immediate response from market participants (unsure about the fair value of price, seen in the lack of a single print tail).

Often comes back to revisit this area to illicit a proper response (unfinished auction).
10/11 - $BTC

9. Acceptance

Buyers/sellers agreeing on a new "fair value" price to transact at. Can be quantified in multiple ways (no immediate reaction, or participants immediately stepping up to transact at this new price, or printing a double print on TPO, etc.)
11/11 - $BTC

10. Absorption

When market participants passively "absorb" incoming aggression from opposition, signaling intention to transact at these prices. Depending on which side is absorbing, can signal both reversal or continuation (context important).

Thanks for reading!

High volume nodes/low volume nodes. Both HVN and LVNs offer great turning points for price. I mainly use HVNs to catch wicks as they offer liquidity for price to turn. You can use LVNs too, but I am still experimenting with those.
Shameless shill for the beauties over at @BlockRoots_. @Josh_Rager and @CanteringClark have been instrumental to my success. If you want the best fundamentals, they are your guys!
