Core concept

Supply & Demand Zones

Price areas where a strong imbalance between buyers and sellers previously caused a sharp move — and may again.

What it is

A demand zone is an area buyers stepped in aggressively and price rallied away from; a supply zone is where sellers overwhelmed and price dropped. Unlike a single support line, they are zones with width, drawn from the base a move launched from.

What it signals

When price returns to a fresh zone, unfilled orders can drive another reaction — a bounce from demand or a rejection from supply — offering potential entries with defined risk.

How to spot it

Find a tight consolidation (the base) immediately before a strong, fast departure, and mark that base as the zone. The stronger and faster the departure, the more significant the zone.

One caveat

Zones weaken each time they are tested and eventually break. They are a probability tool, not a wall — combine them with trend and confirmation.
