Liquidity Levels
By LuxAlgoSep 27, 2021
Liquidity Levels builds support and resistance from volume peaks: whenever volume spikes over the lookback, the price where it happened is stored and drawn as a level. The premise is that heavy participation marks prices the market cared about (the same reasoning that makes pools of resting orders worth tracking), and a built-in histogram then shows how price behaved between neighboring levels, counting closes and the bullish share among them.
How to Trade the Liquidity Levels?
- Volume-peak levels: each detected peak flags its price as potential support or resistance; levels that history shows were tested before carry extra weight.
- Retest validation: on a return to a level, further volume analysis helps judge whether a bounce is genuinely being defended.
- Histogram bins: each bin counts the closing prices that fell between two levels and how many were bullish, revealing where price was accepted and which side drove it.
- Bin shape: a wide but short bin means price crossed those levels quickly with few closes, a hint of elevated volatility over a short stretch.
It sits naturally beside the rest of the levels toolkit.
