20 / 50 EMA trend context
When the 20-day average is above the 50-day average, the daily trend is supportive. A crossover is only a context change—look for a confirmed price/volume move too.
PRICE ACTION ACADEMY
Read the chart. Then wait for proof.
These labels organize what price and volume did. They are not buy or sell signals, and none can promise a result.
△
Triangles, pennants, flags, and wedges
A tight range after a strong move can show compression. The useful part is the break and follow-through, not the drawing by itself.
≋
Inversion fair-value gap
A recent three-candle imbalance that is crossed the other way can be a reversal clue. The scanner calls it an inversion-gap proxy and waits for the next completed candle; a gap is not guaranteed support or resistance.
9·21·50
9 / 21 / 50 EMA intraday context
When completed 5-minute bars are available, the scanner shows whether the three EMAs are aligned or mixed. It is extra trend context only—never an automatic entry.
15m
First 15-minute range
The separate opening-range plan waits for the first 9:30–9:45 AM ET candle to close, then studies later completed closes above or below its range. See the day-trading opening-range guide.
⇄
Support, resistance, and structure
Support is a prior reaction area below price; resistance is one above it. A break of structure needs a completed close beyond the level. A later retest/hold is stronger evidence.
⤴
Structure shift / CHoCH
“Change of character” is not one universal pattern. WallStreetHustler uses the plain version: a completed break of a recent swing range against the prior trend context, then waits for another candle to confirm.
▣
Supply / demand language
The scanner shows prior reaction zones, not proof of institutional orders. Treat a zone as a place to watch how price reacts—not as a guaranteed turn.
↟
How strong is a zone response?
Weak, strong, and stronger describe visible wick rejection, where the candle closes, and relative volume when price tests a prior support or resistance area. The next completed candle still matters.
🕯
Rejection candles
Bearish engulfing, shooting stars, and gravestone doji can show rejection near resistance. They need the next completed candle and nearby structure to matter.
🕯🕯🕯
Confirmation candles
Three white soldiers and a tweezer bottom can support a bullish structure. They are not automatic entries, especially after a large move or below major resistance.
▥
Volume footprint
A real footprint needs trade-by-trade bid/ask order-flow data. The scanner does not label a footprint until that data is connected; regular volume and options-flow summaries are not the same thing.
HOW THE SCANNER USES THIS
Evidence, not a shortcut.
Price-action labels are shown as supporting context. The scanner still checks trend, volume, liquidity, extension risk, and data availability before it changes from WAIT to WATCH or TRIGGER.
SIMPLE RULE
One candle is never enough.
Use a plan: zone to watch, proof to wait for, line that disproves the idea, and a maximum loss you can afford.
