HOW TO READ A LIQUIDITY MAP?
(also known as limit order heatmap or order book heatmap).
🧠 What is a liquidity map?
It is a visual representation of the order book of a trading pair, such as BTC/USDT, that shows you where the buy and sell orders are located and how much "strength" they have at each price level.
🟠 What do the colors mean?
Brighter or more intense colors (orange, red, yellow):
indicate that there is more liquidity at that price level (more limit orders).
In other words, more people want to buy or sell at that point.
Dark or colorless colors:
Little or no liquidity at that price.
There is no strong interest at that level.
📊 How to interpret it?
1. Resistance zones (sellers)
If you see a bright line above the current price, there are many wanting to sell there.
That acts as resistance: it will be difficult for the price to rise because it will encounter many sell orders.
2. Support zones (buyers)
If you see a bright line below the current price, there are many wanting to buy there.
That acts as support: it will be difficult for the price to fall because it will encounter many buy orders.
