8AM 1H Range & Breaks

8AM 1H Range & Breaks turns the first hour of the day into a complete intraday framework. It boxes the high and low of a defined opening range (8:00 to 9:00 New York time by default), then waits for a close beyond either boundary. Once the range gives way, the tool maps the structures that matter in the new direction: bullish order blocks and bearish inversion fair value gaps after an upside break, their mirrors after a downside one.

How to Trade the 8AM 1H Range & Breaks?

• Bullish break: a close above the session high triggers the signal; the highlighted Bullish Order Blocks and Bearish Inversion FVGs become candidate entry zones for the move.
• Bearish break: a close below the session low flips the bias, with Bearish Order Blocks and Bullish Inversion FVGs marking the pullback areas.
• Zone hygiene: mitigation logic deletes each zone once it has been tested or invalidated, so the chart only ever shows fresh, untested liquidity.

An inversion gap qualifies only when price trades back into a pending FVG and closes on its opposite side in the direction of the breakout; order blocks are engulfing patterns aligned with the break, projected forward a set number of bars.
