Price movement: points A and B

Price always travels from liquidity to liquidity — from point A to point B. Point A is where a move begins; point B is the external liquidity price is drawn toward. Understanding this route answers where the market is headed next and where it still has unfinished business.

Price movement has only two fundamental causes: the SWING (liquidity) and the IMBALANCE (price inefficiency). There are no others. A swing is a local high or low with stop orders banked beyond it — a liquidity target; an imbalance is a stretch covered too quickly that the market tends to return to in order to restore balance. The entire A→B route unfolds between these two drivers.

Every other zone — Order Flow (OF), Rejection Block (RB), Most Traded Volume (MTV), order block (OB), imbalance (FVG) — is a DERIVED way to reflect a participant's strength, NOT a cause of the move. They help confirm which side is stronger and refine the entry, but they do not move price on their own: only the pull toward liquidity and the urge to fill an imbalance do. The Trade Model indicator maps structure and ranges, helping you see the A→B route clearly.
