Supply and Demand Zones: How Whales Leave Their "Footprints" on the Chart

Abstract generation in progress

Have you ever wondered why the price of BTC bounces back and forth at the same levels? It's not magic, it's Supply and Demand.

The big players (whales) cannot put all their volume in at once. So the price returns to those areas for them to complete their orders. What you see on the chart? Those are their footprints.

The two zones that matter:

Demand Zone: Where buyers said “you shall not pass”. The price dropped, reached here, and bounced back. The big players were accumulating.

Supply Zone: Where sellers dominate. The price rose, reached here, and turned around. The whales were distributing.

How to find them ( without complicating things ):

1. Order Block: Look for the last candle of the opposite color before a strong movement. That is the area where the whales entered. When the price returns, it almost always bounces.

2. FVG (Fair Value Gap): A gap in the chart that the market did not balance. The price returns to “close the gap” as if it were a magnet.

3. Wyckoff: The price moves sideways → accumulation/distribution → then comes the explosion. Simple.

4. Footprint: Look where the heaviest volume occurred. That's pure gold for finding areas.

How to operate this:

  1. Wait for it to arrive: Do not do anything until the price approaches the area.
  2. Look for confirmation: Pin bar, high volume, divergence. Something that tells you “today something is happening”.
  3. Enter: Buy on demand ( if it goes up ). Sell on supply ( if it goes down ).
  4. SL below/above: Your stop loss goes beyond the zone.
  5. TP at the next level: Resistance for purchases, support for sales.

The key? Patience + practice + combining methods. A single zone won't make you a millionaire. But understanding how whales think? That changes the game.
