Why Price Can Rise Even When Selling Is Aggressive

One thing I find interesting about order flow is that aggressive selling doesn't always push price lower.

Imagine sellers keep hitting the bid, but NQ refuses to break support. Price then starts moving higher.

This may suggest that the selling is being absorbed by buyers willing to take the other side.

But absorption alone isn't enough to confirm a reversal.

I watch whether price actually moves away from the level and whether buyers begin gaining control.

The important question isn't just who is aggressive. It's whether that aggression is producing results.
