Why a Strong Footprint Signal Can Fail at Resistance

A bullish footprint imbalance can look convincing, but location still matters.

If it appears directly beneath a major resistance area, buyers may face substantial opposing liquidity.

The market could break through, or the buying could fail to produce further progress.

I look at whether price accepts above resistance and whether follow-through develops.

The footprint gives me information about executed activity. It doesn't tell me that resistance must break.

Even a strong-looking signal needs a clear risk plan.
