Inside / Outside Bar

An inside bar sits wholly within the previous bar’s range (pause); an outside bar engulfs it (decision).

An inside bar trades entirely inside the previous bar’s high-low range — the market paused and agreed to disagree within yesterday’s limits. Like the NR7, it is compression, and often precedes a directional move.

An outside bar does the opposite: it trades beyond BOTH the previous high and low. Whoever won that fight (green close = buyers) made a statement across the whole prior range.

Inside bar: neutral — trade the break of its own high/low, not the bar itself.

Outside bar closing near its extreme is a strong one-bar verdict.
