Who's In Control

This is the written companion to Saint's video on reading who's in control of a high timeframe balance. AMT gives you the shape of a range, not the outcome, so the document walks through the actual reads that fill that gap: whether price arrived at an extreme aggressively (likely to be defended) or slowly (likely to be broken), and how to use a previous balance's breakout followed by a genuine retest, not the breakout alone, to confirm who actually holds control.

Two live examples run through the full method: trapped buyers on the higher timeframe whose exhaustion on Delta fuels the move against them, and a session where the higher timeframe gave nothing conclusive, so the read dropped to the 15 minute for confirmation before any trade was taken. The document closes on the point the whole video is built around, a higher timeframe bias is a guess until a lower timeframe agrees with it.
