Market structure
Premium and discount explained
Every range has a cheap half and an expensive half. Most retail buys the expensive one.
Split the range
Take any clear range and mark the high, the low, and the 50% midpoint. That midpoint is equilibrium, the 0.5 on a fib. Below it is discount. Above it is premium. That single line is your entire buy and sell map.
The rule
Buy in discount, sell in premium. Smart money accumulates below equilibrium and distributes above it. Retail does the opposite: it buys after a big green move, deep in premium, right before the reversal, and calls it a dip.
Stack it
Equilibrium alone is not a signal. It matters when something else lands there: a demand zone in discount, the higher-timeframe trend pointing up, hidden liquidity below. A fib level with no confluence is just a line on a chart.
What your smooth brain needs to remember
Price has a cheap half and an expensive half. Stop buying the expensive one and calling it a dip.
