Open Drive

A strong directional open where price moves swiftly without testing prior references; signals institutional participation.
Open Drive conditions show immediate conviction from the session's start, with price moving directionally on strong volume without testing prior references. This pattern typically indicates institutional participation and often leads to trend day scenarios. The absence of early two-sided trade suggests a significant imbalance between buyers and sellers that may persist throughout the session.
