What Order Imbalance Is and How To Use It in a Trading Strategy

Understanding the nuances of order imbalances is key for traders looking to navigate the ebb and flow of asset prices. Order imbalances provide a clear window into the supply and demand dynamics at play, offering strategic insights. This article delves into the intricacies of order imbalances, their causes, and a practical strategy for leveraging these market phenomena.

Understanding Order Imbalances

Order imbalance, a fundamental concept in forex, crypto*, commodity, and stock markets, refers to a situation where there is a disproportionate number of buy or sell orders for a particular asset. This imbalance of orders can significantly influence asset prices, pushing them up or down depending on the direction of the imbalance. Known also as fair value gaps, they offer a window into the underlying supply and demand dynamics shaping the market at any given moment.

Nasdaq Composite: Worst Session Since Late 2022

As indicated by the Nasdaq Composite chart (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen), yesterday's decline was -2.62% in a single session.

Thus, tech stocks experienced the sharpest drop since late 2022, with around 75% of companies in the Nasdaq Composite index closing in the red.

Alphabet (GOOG) shares, the parent company of Google, fell by 4.9% due to higher-than-expected AI expenses and disappointing YouTube advertising revenues.

Tesla (TSLA) shares dropped by 12% due to a 7% decline in automotive revenue, missed earnings, and delays in the Robotaxi project.

Chipmaker stocks also suffered losses.

What is the reason for the Nasdaq Composite (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) price decline?

According to Business Insider, renowned Wall Street investor Ed Yardeni believes that:

→ Major market players started exiting tech stocks on July 11, as news of low inflation motivated them to rotate and shift capital into stocks sensitive to the anticipated interest rate cuts;

→ The stock market is overbought and undergoing a minor correction.

Analysis of USD/JPY: Yen Strengthens by 5.5% Against US Dollar in 2 Weeks

On Thursday, 11 July, the USD/JPY exchange rate was above 161, and today it is below 153.

According to Reuters, this could be attributed to effective intervention by the Bank of Japan.

While intervention was anticipated when the yen weakened to extreme levels not seen since 1983, Tokyo authorities were cryptic in their comments, maintaining uncertainty, making it harder for investors to predict when and how they might intervene.

Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks and How To Trade Them

In the intricate world of trading, especially within the forex markets, understanding the mechanics behind order blocks and breaker blocks is paramount. These concepts, rooted in the actions of institutional participants, offer a window into the potential future price movements. In this article, we'll explore what these critical areas are and how to use them effectively.

What Is an Order Block in Trading?

An order block, also known as a supply or demand zone, represents a significant area on the price chart where large market participants, such as banks or institutional traders, have placed substantial buy or sell orders. They're crucial in understanding the flow and direction of an asset, as they often precede notable movements in price. Particularly in the realm of forex, where the magnitude of transactions can be immense, identifying these zones can provide traders with a strategic edge.

Analysis of AMZN Stock: Price at 1.5-Month Low

As shown in the AMZN chart, the stock price dropped below:

→ the psychological level of $180;

→ the mid-June interim low.

The last time AMZN traded below $180 was in early June.

Thus, AMZN has faced sell-offs, similar to other tech stocks whose charts we've published this week. A widely mentioned reason for the sell-offs is investor rotation, moving capital from overbought tech stocks to shares in other sectors.

Will AMZN's price drop further?

Fundamentally, bulls might find hope in speculation that:

→ the company might start paying dividends. Rumours suggest the company has accumulated $100 billion in cash;

→ Amazon in Austin, Texas, is developing its own AI chip to compete with Nvidia.

Analysis of AUD/USD: Exchange Rate Falls to Early May Low

As indicated by the 4-hour AUD/USD chart today:

→ the rate fell below 0.652, a level last seen on May 2;

→ the RSI indicator dropped below 15, a level last seen during the panic over the spread of COVID-19 in spring 2020.

The weakening of the Australian dollar could be linked to participants' expectations of upcoming news:

→ the US Core PCE Price Index will be published today at 15:30 GMT+3;

→ next week, Australian inflation data and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision (both events scheduled for Wednesday) will be released.

Is further decline in the AUD/USD rate possible?

It is possible that the release of significant news could trigger a surge in volatility, causing the AUD/USD rate to fall below the recent monthly low of 0.652.

The Price of Natural Gas Finds Support. But for How Long?

On 21 June, we wrote that the trend in the market was weakening, noting that:

→ Forecasts of a hotter summer, published during April-May, led to a sustained bullish trend in the natural gas market.

→ According to the technical analysis of the 4-hour XNG/USD chart and the signs of weakness that have formed on it, the level of 3.160 appears to sufficiently account for the risks of an extremely hot summer.

→ Bears might push the price to the lower boundary of the ascending trend channel.

McDonald's Share Price Rises Despite Disappointing Report

On Monday, before the start of regular trading, McDonald's reported its second-quarter results:

→ Earnings per share: actual = $2.97, expected = $3.07;
→ Gross revenue: actual = $6.49 billion, expected = $6.62 billion;
→ Net profit for the quarter was $2.02 billion, 12% less than the previous year.

The company's management notes that consumers are limiting spending. CEO Chris Kempczinski mentioned that customers are buying fewer items per visit or opting for cheaper products. Many people prefer dining at home, a trend consistent across various regions of the world.

Nonetheless, McDonald's share price rose by 3.7% on Monday's trading, making it the leader of the day among Dow Jones stocks. Investors were encouraged by the following:

→ McDonald's maintains its overall forecast for new stores, capital expenditures, and operating margin for the year, whereas, for example, the Domino's Pizza chain announced it would reduce the number of new openings worldwide;
→ McDonald's is seeking ways to boost sales, such as the $5 combo meal. Initially launched for just a month, this promotion has been extended through the end of summer.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will announce its monetary policy decision today at 21:00 GMT+3. Wall Street expects the FOMC to keep the rate unchanged at 5.25%.

MSFT Share Price Plummets After Earnings Report, But It's Not All Bad

Yesterday, after the main trading session on the Nasdaq, Microsoft released its second-quarter report:
→ Earnings per share: actual = $2.95, forecast = $2.93;
→ Gross revenue: actual = $64.72 billion, forecast = $64.38 billion.

Despite key figures exceeding analyst expectations, MSFT's share price plummeted, falling below the psychological threshold of $400 in after-hours trading.

Investor disappointment may have been caused by the slowdown in growth of its cloud business and significant financial investments in AI infrastructure—a long-term investment with delayed payback.

Could the decline continue?

Smart Money Concept and How To Use It in Trading

In the world of forex trading, understanding the movements and strategies of the market's most influential players like banks and hedge funds—termed "smart money"—can provide retail traders with a significant advantage. This FXOpen article offers a deep dive into the Smart Money Concept, discussing how institutional investors influence market trends and how retail traders can align their strategies with these market movers for potentially better outcomes.

Understanding the Smart Money Concept

The Smart Money Concept (SMC) centres on the principle that the movements of large institutional investors in financial markets can offer valuable clues to retail traders about future market trends.

These institutional investors, often referred to as "smart money," include banks, hedge funds, and investment firms, wielding significant capital power to influence market directions.

What Is a Darvas Box Theory and How Does It Work in Trading?

The Darvas Box Theory, pioneered by Nicolas Darvas in the 1950s, has transcended its stock market origins to become a valuable tool for forex traders. This method leverages specific price movements and patterns, known as the Darvas Box, to track market trends and make strategic trading decisions. In this article, we'll break down Darvas's theory, its rules, and how to apply it to the forex market.

Background of Darvas Box Theory
The Darvas Box Theory originated from the practices of Nicolas Darvas, a dancer turned investor, in the late 1950s. While touring, Darvas sought a method to grow his investment portfolio, leading to the development of his unique strategy. This approach, later known as the Darvas Box Theory, was primarily designed for the stock market but has since been adapted for various asset types, including forex.

The strategy's effectiveness hinges on the identification of specific price movements and patterns—collectively referred to as the Darvas Box pattern. Nicolas Darvas's strategy was meticulously detailed in his 1960 book, How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market.

USD/JPY Falls Below 150 Yen per Dollar

The yen was last this strong in mid-March this year. News from central banks contributed to the decline in USD/JPY.

Yesterday, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates to levels not seen in the past 15 years. Conversely, the Fed kept rates unchanged as expected but "opened the door" for a possible cut in September, according to Reuters. This news weakened the USD and provided a bullish boost to U.S. stock markets.

This shift highlights the collapse of the "carry trade" strategy, where high U.S. rates and low Japanese rates supported the rise of USD/JPY. From early 2023 to the July peak in 2024, USD/JPY rose by about 23%, but it started declining amid news of Bank of Japan's currency interventions.

On July 25, analysing the USD/JPY chart, we:
→ Constructed a descending channel (shown in red);
→ Predicted a scenario with a technical rebound from the lower boundary of the red channel.

Since then, USD/JPY climbed to the psychological mark of 155 yen per dollar on July 30, where the downtrend resumed after a false breakout.

How might the USD/JPY situation develop?

Market Reacts Mildly to Fed Decision, Focus Shifts to NonFarm Payrolls

Late July and early August are packed with significant macroeconomic events. This week has already seen rate decisions from the Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve, with the Bank of England meeting today and the U.S. monthly labour market report due tomorrow. As the U.S. regulator left the rate unchanged at 5.50% yesterday, market participants will now focus on incoming macroeconomic data for further clues on the Fed's future policy.

GBP/USD

Ahead of today's Bank of England meeting, the GBP/USD pair remains firmly above the significant support level of 1.2820. The price has tested the 1.2820-1.2800 range three times in recent sessions, so far without breaking through.

Technical analysis of the GBP/USD pair indicates potential for continued growth towards June highs if it holds above 1.2900. A break below 1.2800 could lead to a downward correction towards the crucial range of 1.2700-1.2600.

META Shares Rise Above $500

Yesterday, after the close of the main trading session, social media giant META reported its second-quarter results, significantly exceeding analysts' expectations:

→ Earnings per share: actual = $5.16, forecast = $4.72;
→ Revenue: actual = $39.07 billion, forecast = $38.26 billion;
→ Daily active users increased by 7% year-on-year to 3.3 billion;
→ Ad impressions grew by 10%, and ad prices increased by an average of 10%.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that the integration of AI across all platforms, including Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, is driving engagement growth.

Investors were undeterred by the fact that Reality Labs, the division focused on metaverse development, reported a loss of around $4.5 billion for the second quarter, bringing its total loss since its inception in 2020 to $50 billion.

As a result, during after-hours trading, META's share price rose by 7%, surpassing the psychological $500 level.

What Could Happen Next?

On 19 July, our analysis of META's chart identified an ascending channel (shown in blue) and highlighted the importance of support at the $455 level.

Since then, the share price attempted to break this level on 25 July, but this led to a surge in demand, with META's price rising sharply and forming a candle with a long lower wick.

In pre-market trading today, META's price is above $505, and the main session is likely to open around these levels.
