Expansion occurs when multiple timeframes are aligned in a single direction. Ideally, expansion candles exhibit small wicks across these timeframes. In the example below, the lower timeframe has created a protected swing. Its timeframe pairing is aligned for expansion, as it displays a small wick. The higher timeframes also show small wicks, indicating that expansion is supported across multiple timeframes, creating the conditions for a true expansion move.
