Bullish Trend
In the EUR/USD 1-hour chart, the break of the Major High Level signals a Change of Character (ChoCH) or a Market Structure Shift (MSS).
During this scenario, Demand Order Blocks (Demand OBs) act as support zones, reinforcing the bullish trend. The formation of Break of Structure (BOS) further confirms trend continuation.

Bearish Trend
The price breaks the Major Low Level in the 15-minute Ripple (XRP) chart, leading to a Market Structure Shift (MSS). The formation of MSS often signals a potential trend reversal.
If the price interacts with bearish order blocks (Bearish OBs) or moves close to these zones, it suggests that lower price targets may be reached.
