How to Spot a Potential Reversal Using Order Flow and Structure

124

This is a BTC 15m chart example.

The idea is to wait until multiple pieces of context start pointing in the same direction.

Price was pressing into a key area around the Month-to-Date VWAP and the NPOC zone. That area matters because it can act like a decision zone where liquidity gets absorbed and bigger participants may step in.

What caught my attention first was the REKT bubble printing near the lows, right around that MTD VWAP + NPOC area, while price was forming a triple-bottom structure.

For me, a REKT bubble is not an automatic entry. It is a warning that aggressive traders may be getting trapped. In this case, sellers were pushing into the lows, but price stopped accepting lower. That was the first sign that downside pressure could be exhausting.

Then AlphaShell gave the long signal.

The green triangle printed after the fast trend structure started to shift. One of the internal triggers was the 1m EMA 200 crossing back over the 2m EMA 200, showing short-term momentum starting to flip back in favor of buyers.

After that, price broke structure to the upside.

The target was the next 15m FVG above.

That made more sense than targeting a random resistance line, because FVGs represent inefficient price movement. When price starts reversing with strength, those imbalance zones often become natural magnets.

The sequence was:

REKT bubble near MTD VWAP + NPOC
Double-bottom behavior
AlphaShell long signal
1m EMA 200 crossing over 2m EMA 200
Break of structure to the upside
Target: next 15m FVG above

That is how I like to read potential reversals.

Not one signal alone.
Not guessing the bottom.
Confluence between order flow, structure, VWAPs, FVGs, and momentum.
