Extreme Zone

A supply or demand zone at the very edge of a structural range

An extreme zone is a supply or demand zone that sits at the outermost boundary of a structural range — the highest supply zone or the lowest demand zone. Extreme zones offer the best price for entry, the highest probability of a strong reaction, and the best risk-to-reward ratio. Institutions prefer these levels because they represent the optimal price for filling large orders.

How to Recognize

  • Zone sits at the very top (supply) or bottom (demand) of the structural range
  • Represents the best possible price within the current range
  • Strong impulsive move departs from this level
  • Tight stop loss placement just beyond the range edge

How to Avoid

  • Confusing a decisional zone in the middle of the range with an extreme
  • Assuming all zones at a range boundary are automatically valid
  • Trading an extreme that has already been tested multiple times
  • Ignoring the structural range context when evaluating zone location
