Rotational marketPrice oscillates within the range of an accepted value area regardless of timeframe or extent, effectively rejecting trade outside that range to maintain the established consensus.

Buy/Sell levelsPrice ranges where increased participation is expected and risk/reward is maximised, provided the level maintains its integrity.

Bullish/Bearish refsReferences expected to provide buy/sell side action, without being important enough to support a regime.

TargetsPrice levels representing the partial or full conclusion of a move, where profit-taking may trigger a counter-reaction without being treated as an expected trend reversal location.
