Quantitative Order-Flow & Mitigation Assessment
Desk tracking flags bearish displacement on ⛽ Gasoline RBOB (RB) at 2.57 (-1.50%); the recent MSS at 3.06 keeps sellers in control across the Discount regime (2.74 midpoint). Active Bearish Order Block (-OB) supply is defending 3.22–3.32, leaving downside liquidity exposed toward the 1.96–1.99 demand zone. An open Bearish Fair Value Gap (2.57–2.82) reinforces overhead supply on relief rallies. Session Follow-Up: Sellers defended overhead supply throughout the session; staying below 2.71 preserves the drawdown trajectory toward 2.32.
