Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap
By LuxAlgoSep 17, 2025
Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap combines two complementary volume studies. Bubbles summarize each higher-timeframe period (sized by total volume, colored green or red by which side dominated), while a liquidity heatmap divides the chart into horizontal price zones and shades each by the volume transacted there. The bubbles answer who is in control; the heatmap answers where price is most likely to react.
How to Trade the Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap?
- Bubble color and size: green for buyer dominance, red for sellers; larger bubbles mean heavier participation in that period.
- Delta mode: the net of buying minus selling per bubble. A weakening delta from one period to the next hints at a changing of the guard.
- Red heatmap cells: the most liquid price zones, prime candidates for support, resistance, and rejection; blue cells mark thin territory.
- Confluence: price holding above liquid zones with positive delta favors continuation, while heavy negative delta pressing into a high-liquidity zone raises reversal odds.
The chart timeframe and the bubble timeframe are deliberately independent: weekly bubbles on an hourly chart, for instance, spread out cleanly and stay legible. By default the tool plots daily bubbles across the last 2,000 bars, and it does not repaint: bubbles and zones are built from historical volume with fixed logic.
Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap Settings
- Execute on last X bars: how much history the tool processes.
- Bubble Mode / Bubble Timeframe: Total, Buy & Sell, or Delta volume, aggregated per chosen period.
- Bubble Size % / Bubble Shape: overall scale and vertical stretch for readability.
- Heatmap Rows / Cell Minimum Size: the number of price divisions and each cell's minimum size.
- Labels, separators, the heatmap toggle, and all colors are adjustable.
