# Liquidity Concepts **Liquidity Concepts** identify key zones where price grabs or flows toward liquidity. {% embed url="" %} *** ## Liquidity Magnets **Liquidity Magnets** highlight areas on the chart where a *large concentration of traded volume* previously occurred. These zones tend to act like **price magnets**, often attracting future price action for reactions, retests, or continuation moves.

### What the Liquidity Magnets Show * **Horizontal liquidity zones** plotted above and below price * **Color-graded blocks** representing the relative strength of each zone * **Percentage labels (%)** that rank liquidity zones by importance Each zone represents a historical area where market participation was significantly higher compared to surrounding price levels. ### How to Read the Percentages * **100%** → strongest liquidity zone on the chart

{% hint style="info" %} **100% represents the strongest liquidity zone on the chart for that side.**\ Buy-side and sell-side liquidity are ranked **independently**, meaning both sides can display their own 100% zone at the same time. {% endhint %} * **Lower % values** → comparatively weaker liquidity concentration * Percentages are **relative**, not absolute volume numbers * Darker / more intense color = stronger liquidity presence Think of the % as a **liquidity strength score**, not a probability. ### How Traders Use Liquidity Magnets

* **Targets**\ Price often gravitates toward high-percentage liquidity zones. * **Reaction Zones**\ Expect potential pauses, reversals, or accelerations when price enters a magnet. * **Context, not signals**\ Liquidity Magnets are best used alongside structure, trend, or confirmation tools. * **Bias filtering**\ Strong liquidity above price can act as resistance, while strong liquidity below price can act as support. ## Beluga Liquidity Zones **Beluga Liquidity Zones** visualize key price areas where **significant trading activity occurred**, highlighting both **support-side and resistance-side liquidity** with detailed volume distribution.

{% hint style="info" %} These zones help traders understand *where the market previously engaged the most* and how buyers and sellers interacted inside each level. {% endhint %} ### What Beluga Liquidity Zones Show Each liquidity zone contains multiple layers of information:

* **Liquidity Area (Zone Box)**\ A highlighted price range where strong market participation occurred. * **Buy vs Sell Volume Split**\ Inside every zone, volume is divided into: * ▲ **Buy Volume (%)** * ▼ **Sell Volume (%)** * **Delta Value**\ Shows the imbalance between buyers and sellers within the zone. * **Total Volume Strength (%)**\ A percentage label that ranks each zone relative to other zones on the chart. ### How to Read the Percentages * **Buy / Sell % inside the zone**\ Indicates how volume was distributed between buyers and sellers *within that liquidity area*. * **Total Volume % (zone strength)**\ Represents how important the zone is **relative to all other displayed zones.** ### How Traders Use Beluga Liquidity Zones * **Support & Resistance Context**\ Strong liquidity zones often act as reaction areas where price may pause, reverse, or accelerate.

* **Bias Awareness**\ Buy-heavy zones suggest stronger demand, while sell-heavy zones highlight supply pressure.

* **Retests & Reactions**\ When price revisits a liquidity zone, it often responds due to previously concentrated activity. * **Confluence Tool**\ Best used alongside structure, trend, or confirmation tools — not as a standalone signal. ## Liquidity Grab This **Liquidity Grab Indicator** highlights areas where price briefly moves in one direction to "grab" liquidity before reversing. When a liquidity grab occurs through a large candle’s wick: ### Upward Liquidity Grab (Trend Continuation) An upward liquidity grab occurs when the price forms a large upper wick, signaling the market's attempt to break higher but quickly retracting before continuing to rise. This pattern usually indicates a situation where short traders are liquidated as the price breaks above the previous high, forcing a continuation of the bullish trend.

The liquidity above this high is grabbed as the price breaks that level and moves upward. {% hint style="info" %} The chart marks this pattern with a triangle below the wick to highlight the bullish trend continuation as it signals the absorption of short positions. {% endhint %} ### Downward Liquidity Grab (Trend Continuation) A downward liquidity grab happens when the price forms a large lower wick, briefly moving lower before reversing and continuing the downtrend. This pattern represents the liquidity absorption where long traders are forced out of their positions, confirming the continuation of a bearish trend.

The market takes the liquidity below the previous low before moving lower, indicating that the bearish momentum remains intact. ### Reversal and Liquidity Zones Large wicks, especially those at reversal points, can indicate areas of high liquidity where significant buy or sell pressure is present. These wicks often suggest that a large number of market orders were filled at these levels, and the price may either reverse from these points (in the case of a failed liquidity grab).

{% hint style="info" %} These liquidity grabs provide key insights into market behavior, as they show where the market failed to continue in one direction before reversing or where it successfully absorbed the liquidity to push further in the direction of the trend. {% endhint %} *** ## Liquidity Flow ### Midline range This feature highlights significant swing moves with high liquidity, emphasizing the midline of these ranges as potential significant levels where price could react in the future.

### Green Boxes (Post-Downtrend) **Possible Pump:** After a downtrend, a green box signals a potential pump. The market may react positively around the midline of this range, indicating the possibility of upward price movement as liquidity shifts from the previous downtrend.

### Red Boxes (Post-Uptrend or During Red Liquidity Flow) **Possible Dump:** A red box appears after an uptrend or during periods of red liquidity flow, indicating the potential for a dump. The price is likely to react at the midline of this range, potentially moving downward as liquidity shifts out of the previous uptrend.

These high liquidity swing areas offer critical levels to watch for future price reactions, with the midline acting as a key support/resistance level.

{% hint style="info" %} These levels can guide traders in identifying likely points where price may consolidate, reverse, or continue its trend. {% endhint %} *** ## Buy & **Sellside** The **Buyside & Sellside** feature introduces a clear visualization of recent **support and resistance levels** on the chart, accompanied by a percentage indicator showing the strength of each side. * **Buyside Levels**: Represent areas of strong buyer interest (support zones), highlighted in green, showing where price may find a floor. * **Sellside Levels**: Highlight areas of significant seller pressure (resistance zones), shown in red, indicating potential price ceilings.

### Strength Percentage Each zone includes a percentage metric to quantify the relative strength of buyers or sellers in that region, aiding decision-making.

This feature enhances the ability to anticipate price reactions at key levels, making it an essential tool for technical analysis and trade planning. *** ## Settings
