Liquidity Heatmap

The liquidity heatmap paints the resting order book directly onto the chart: brighter cells mean more size resting at that price. It shows where the walls are - the support and resistance that real orders, not lines, are defending.

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

Every price level is shaded by how much size is resting there right now. As orders are posted and pulled, the heat shifts - so a thick band that holds is a defended level, and one that evaporates as price approaches is liquidity being pulled ahead of a move.
