What this chart measures
Bid notional divided by combined bid and ask notional describes displayed liquidity. It is different from aggressive trade delta and does not prove buyer identity.
Select the asset, exchange and timeframe before comparing readings. Each venue response is normalized to the selected spot market. The chart shows completed candles and labels snapshot age; missing or stale observations remain visibly unavailable.
Use the other evidence without conflating it
Current order-book depth represents displayed resting liquidity. Candle volume is completed activity over the selected interval. CMF and OBV are disclosed price-and-volume proxies. They are useful for describing different parts of an observation but do not identify whale holdings or guarantee a direction.
The detailed book below the chart lets you check quantities and quote notionals behind the overlay. Compare a proposed size against available displayed depth, then account separately for fees, price changes, cancellations and fragmented venue liquidity.
Controls and reproducibility
Change the visible range, zoom or pan, choose a secondary study and switch the price scale. Export the available data or a chart SVG to preserve a research record. Session liquidity data must first be collected or imported; chart history is not manufactured from price candles.
Make an imbalance comparison reproducible
Resting-order pressure compares displayed bid and ask notional within a chosen range. It is sensitive to the distance around the midpoint, the available depth and the moment of the snapshot. Record those settings when comparing two readings; a pressure change after widening the range is not necessarily a change in nearby market conditions.
A positive reading means the supplied bid notional exceeds the supplied ask notional under that calculation. It does not measure aggressive buying, identify an owner or prove demand will persist. An order can be canceled before another trader reaches it. Hidden orders, liquidity outside the returned range and changes between requests are absent from the measure.
Ask whether the observation changes an actual execution estimate. For a buy, the relevant path consumes asks, even if the bid side looks unusually large. For a sell, the relevant path consumes bids. Compare a proposed quantity with both the top quote and the deeper levels, then add fees and an adverse-price scenario before interpreting the imbalance as useful context.
The structure layer uses confirmed candle pivots and ATR-based grouping to show reference zones. Two completed bars to the right are required for confirmation. Touch counts describe the observed sample, not bounce probabilities. Previous UTC day and week levels appear only when the required candle coverage is complete.
