Definition
"This is my ICT suspension block." (0:17)
"I've never taught it before. I've never given it to anybody." (0:09-0:11)
"This is extremely strong. It's one of the most powerful." (1:07-1:09)
Structure & Formation
"Whenever you have one single candle that has a volume of bounce to the low and a volume of balance to the high, that is going to act just like a fair value gap." (0:43-0:52)
"It's being suspended between two volume imbalances. That's why I named it suspension block." (1:00-1:07)
"The creation of this is again a volume of bounce at the top, a volume of bounce at the bottom." (2:31-2:35)
Characteristics
"It does not matter if there's wicks that had already crossed over that to the left of it. You simply don't even worry about it." (0:52-0:58)
"If it looks like it's been redelivered or it's back and forth in the same area, it's still inefficient and it's being highlighted algorithmically because there's a volume of bounce to the lower and the higher end of it." (2:38-2:47)
"The suspension block is extremely bullish or bearish if it's reversed and it's a down close candle and you have narrative and orderflow moving is lower reaching for liquidity." (1:28-1:36)
Visual Pattern Recognition
"You would never look at that as a fair value. Not by the definitions of it initially given. This is a bullish fair gap, but this is not a bullish sphere gap up in its classic sense." (0:22-0:34)
"And if you look real close, there is a volume of bounce at the top and a volume of bounce at the bottom. Even though this wick goes higher..." (0:36-0:43)
Example 1: Basic Bullish Suspension Block
Example 2: Multiple Re-entries to Suspension Block
"It trades down to it here and then consequent encroachment over here and then one more time it dies down into it here." (3:29-3:34)
Example 3: Bearish Suspension Block (Inverted)
"The suspension block is extremely bullish or bearish if it's reversed and it's a down close candle and you have narrative and orderflow moving is lower reaching for liquidity." (1:28-1:36)
Example 4: Suspension Block with Body Respect
"Notice the body respecting it here." (3:39-3:41)
Example 5: Inversion - Suspension Block as Premium Array
"Because we had a reversal when we come back down in, it's going to act as what? Just like an inversion fair value gap. It changes its characteristic." (4:15-4:22)
"It's very, very easy to spot. If you start scouring through your charts, you're going to see these things. They never have been noticed by you before." (2:50-2:57)
Price Behavior
"Rallies up, supports at the low of this suspension block there. So there's discount sensitivity rallies up discount sensitivity at the high of it." (4:37-4:45)
"Notice the body respecting it here. It trades to the 24,819 and a quarter." (3:39-3:46)
"It trades down to it here and then consequent encroachment over here and then one more time it dies down into it here." (3:29-3:34)
Inversion Characteristics
"See this lower volume of balance, upper volume imbalance, but because we had a reversal when we come back down in, it's going to act as what? Just like an inversion fair value gap. It changes its characteristic." (4:13-4:22)
"And because it's changed its character to that of being a premium array, the body's respecting it here. Look at the bodies." (4:53-4:57)
"That's technical science. And realize, oh, look at the body stopping right there. That's technical science." (4:58-5:04)
