Key Level Mapping vs Opening Range Breakout (ORB)

Key level mapping is the pre-session process of identifying and marking significant price zones — including support, resistance, and structural pivots — where important market reactions are most likely to occur during the session.

The Opening Range Breakout (ORB) is a day trading strategy that enters a position when price breaks with volume confirmation above the Opening Range high or below the Opening Range low, anticipating directional continuation.
