What is Stacked imbalance?
Several imbalances on the same side in consecutive price rows of one footprint bar (commonly three or more). "Three stacked imbalances make a certain level" is a popular claim, not proven.
In context
A stacked imbalance is a run of imbalances in the same direction on consecutive rows within one bar — for example, buy imbalances at 4210.6, 4210.7 and 4210.8. The number of rows needed is a convention, not a law of nature; three consecutive rows is the most common definition, and some tools start counting from two. A row with no trades, or a row that is not an imbalance, breaks the chain.
