Many people ask me about the meaning of BU and BB on the chart, so this time I want to explain these two important concepts that often appear in technical analysis and supply and demand.



So, here’s the thing, if you’ve started to get serious with trading and supply and demand techniques, you’ve probably seen these terms everywhere. I was also confused at first, but after understanding the logic, everything becomes clearer.

First, BU-BB. It means "Buy Up to Break Base" or bullish breakout base. It means you buy from the demand area or accumulation zone, then follow the price movement until it breaks through that base. So, BU is more specific — buy from the demand area with the target to break the base. This is a solid entry strategy if you can identify the demand area accurately.

Second, BB-OB. This stands for "Break Base to Order Block." After the price breaks the base, the next movement is toward the nearest order block, whether it’s a stronger supply or demand area. So, BB-OB is a continuation play; you follow the momentum from the base break toward the next target.

Now, if combined, this strategy becomes powerful. You first understand the meaning of BU for entry timing, then proceed with BB-OB to manage the next move. With the right understanding of BU-BB and BB-OB, you can identify entries and exits that are much more accurate on the chart.

My tip: don’t just memorize the terms, but understand the logic behind each move. Supply and demand and order block analysis are game changers when combined with solid money management. Try practicing on your own chart, and see how these concepts work in real market movement.
