Expansion → Repair → Pressure Rebuild

87
Markets rarely move in straight lines. Most impulses are followed by a repair phase where price compresses and participation cools.
In this example, price enters a range near Value Area High while Pressure Wave shows pressure contracting and flattening — a sign the market is digesting the prior move rather than committing to a new one.
As the range matures, pressure begins rebuilding internally before price attempts to move again. This shift in participation is what Pressure Wave is designed to visualize.
The goal isn’t prediction — it’s clarity.
Seeing when pressure is expanding, repairing, or rebuilding helps traders better understand the current phase of the auction.
