To detect price movement through the analysis of market and limit orders, you need to monitor the order book (Order Book) and time and sales (Time & Sales). Here are the key principles:

1. How orders work

- Market orders

They are executed immediately at the current price, "eating" liquidity from the order book.

Example: A buyer places a market order → the price sharply rises if there are few sellers.

- Limit orders

They leave a "mark" in the order book, forming support/resistance levels.

Example: A large limit order to buy at $100 → the price will slow down its fall at this level.

2. How to detect movement: 4 methods

(1) Order book analysis (Level 2)

- Accumulation of limit orders at one level → strong support/resistance zone.

Example: 500 BTC to buy at $115,000 → the price will "bounce" off this zone.

- Disappearance of a large order → signal of a change in direction (the player canceled the order).

(2) Cluster charts (Volume Profile)

- Shows where limit orders are concentrated:

- POC (Point of Control) — level with maximum volume → magnet for price.

- Volume gaps — zones with a minimum of orders → the price quickly passes through them.

Example of a cluster chart for BTC.

(3) Time & Sales (Tape of trades)

- Large market orders are visible as large candles on the chart:

- Green volume > 100 BTC → signal of aggressive buying.

- Red volume > 100 BTC → signal of sell-offs.

- Order combinations:

A series of small limit orders + a large market order = manipulation ("stop hunt").

(4) Liquidity depth

- "Walls" in the order book:

- Sell order for 1000 BTC at $117,000 → the price will not break through without news.

- If a wall suddenly disappears → a sharp jump may occur.

4. Tools for analysis

- TradingView: Scripts for the order book (for example, `Order Flow Analytics`).

- CoinGlass: Aggregator of cryptocurrency exchange liquidity.

- Bookmap: Real-time order visualization.

- Indicators:

- `Cumulative Delta` (balance of market orders).

- `Volume Profile Visible Range`.

Key rule

> Price moves to where there is less liquidity. Market orders "break through" weak levels, while limit orders create reversal zones. Monitor the order book at key prices ($118K for BTC, $4K for ETH) — these are decision-making points.

For the cryptocurrency market, it is especially important to monitor CEX exchanges (Binance, Bybit), where 70% of liquidity is concentrated. Data from DEX (Uniswap) is useful for altcoins but less relevant for BTC/ETH.
