Order-flow imbalance measures the net pressure between bids and asks at the top of the book. Persistent imbalance, more aggressive buying than selling or vice versa, tends to precede short-term price moves.
Sustained positive OFI (buyers lifting offers, bids refilling) supports a move up; the signal degrades when the imbalance flips.
