Balance Zone — a price area where the market has established equilibrium between buyers and sellers, characterized by overlapping value areas across multiple sessions. Also known as a trading range. Traders watch for breakouts from balance zones as they often lead to strong directional moves once the equilibrium is resolved.
Example
“Price consolidated within the balance zone for three sessions before finally breaking out to the upside with strong volume.”
