NR7 in Action - Baidu.com, Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:BIDU)

Intraday NR7 bars are easier to spot on the longer timeframes such as 30 and 60 minutes. Here is a great example. BIDU opens strong and succumbs to market weakness at the 10:00 reversal. After a 5 point swoon, it starts to consolidate in a narrow range below its 10 and 20 period MAs. During lunch, it carves out an NR7 bar (narrowest range bar) on extremely low volume - price and volume contraction. Throughout the consolidation, BIDU was not able to close above the MA. After lunch price and volume expanded resulting in a 6 point move to the downside on increasing volume.
