The core goal of the Expansion Model is to capture daily candle expansions. Framework and confirmation are applied to create the best possible chance of anticipating these moves.

It is equally important to recognize the nuances in development that signal the likelihood of a true expansion. The way the market trades before releasing the expansion of the day provides hints of what is to come.

The main idea being held throughout all these signatures is that true expansion days trade with intention and without much resistance to where it is moving towards. Expansion takes place in market with momentum. Any loss or force against that momentum is considered negative for an expansion condition.

Respecting Intraday Reversals

Respecting Intraday Reversals
The first ideal signature in the development is that when price establishes and confirms a valid intraday reversal, we want to see price stay off of that point. It is assumed that the continuation has began and it should remain in the continuation to sustain the move away. Price returning back through the established intraday reversal is a negative condition for expansion as it shows a lack of intent to move in the intended direction.

Once the continuation begins, price should remain in continuation to sustain the move away. Holding above or below the confirmed reversal shows strength and intent to expand.

If price returns back through the established intraday reversal, it becomes a negative condition for expansion. This behavior shows a lack of intent to move in the intended direction and weakens the expectation for continuation.

The second ideal signature is support from the main volatility drivers within the daily candle. Volatility drivers serve the purpose of accelerating price movement, and their behavior plays a crucial role in confirming expansion.

Volatility drivers should align with the expected expansion. They may create brief opposing runs before closing back in the intended direction, or immediately expand price in favor of the bias. Both behaviors confirm support for expansion and increase the probability of sustained follow-through.

If the main volatility drivers produce deep opposing runs or fail to generate momentum and simply fade through time, this creates a negative condition for expansion. In these cases, the expectation for an expansion weakens.

Both of these signatures tie into one central idea. Deep opposing retracements are negative conditions within the daily candle for expansion. This concept applies to established intraday reversals and volatility drivers as the main anchor points. The daily candle should build momentum once an intraday reversal is confirmed, with volatility drivers accelerating the move in the expected direction. If price retraces deeply back into the intraday reversal, or if volatility drivers push against momentum or fail to generate speed, the conditions for expansion weaken and the daily candle loses the intent needed to carry through to its objective.
