Interpretive research — not trading advice
Open Test Drive (الافتتاح مع الاختبار)
A strong exit from fair value, followed by a calm retest of a key level (VAH or VAL) before price launches to new prices — extra confirmation of the imbalance direction.
Theoretical foundation: Auction Market Theory (AMT)
The market is a continuous auction between buyers and sellers, always searching for "Fair Value." From this principle come the concepts of Balance, Imbalance, the Value Area, and the Point of Control (POC) — the tools used to read the retest in this scenario.
Beginner-friendly explanation
Here price breaks out of the value area with strength, but unlike Open Drive it doesn't run away immediately — it calmly returns to retest a key level (VAH or VAL) before launching again. That calm retest is extra confirmation the breakout was real, not a trap; if the level holds without a deep break, the Imbalance continues with greater conviction.
بالعربية: يخرج السعر بقوة من منطقة القيمة، لكنه لا يستمر مباشرة كما في الافتتاح المندفع، بل يعود بهدوء ليختبر أحد المستويات الرئيسية (VAH أو VAL) قبل أن ينطلق من جديد. إذا صمد المستوى، فالاختلال يستمر بقوة أكبر.
