The Liquidity Levels/Voids (VP) indicator offers traders a powerful tool to identify liquidity voids and levels by analyzing traded volume across different price points in the market. By evaluating these volumes between two swing points, traders can pinpoint distribution areas of liquidity voids and levels, providing insight into market dynamics.

How to Trade Using Liquidity Levels/Voids Indicator?

Liquidity is a cornerstone of market movements, influencing the path of asset prices. A liquidity level arises from an initial supply and demand imbalance, leading to what is known as a swing high or swing low. As more traders enter the market, they often look at these levels for setting stop orders. When these levels are revisited, the market might breakout past these points or revert to a mean value.

Liquidity voids present themselves as sudden price shifts that occur with minimal trading activity (indicative of low volume) between distinct price levels. This creates a price imbalance, often resulting in a retest or filling of these void areas by the market. Traders leverage this price gap information to recognize where institutional trades have likely influenced the market.

Understanding liquidity voids provides valuable trading insights. They indicate where significant orders have impacted the market, thereby creating these imbalances that the market aims to correct.
