What are Demand and Supply zones?
The zones are actually the sideways price action that come before an explosive moves, Demand zone forms before an uptrend and supply zone forms before a downtrend. In this strategy entry and exit depends upon price returning or testing to these zones.
Why this Demand and Supply zone Forms?
The Big players can’t just put their whole order into the market at once because they are accumulating so much that it would move the price. So instead, they buy within a specified price range. This causes what we see on the chart as a ‘demand zone’. Equally, when they are selling their position, it can’t be all done at once because the selling pressure would send the price sharply lower and reduce their profits. So again they sell over a period of time to minimise the market impact of their trades, which creates the ‘supply zone’.
How this Demand & Supply Zones Forms?
Every Zone is formed by Explosive candle + Base candle + Explosive candle.
Types of Demand and Supply Zone patterns-
There are two types of pattern, which are Reversal patterns and Continuation patterns.
Reversal Patterns
The Drop-Base-Rally- a bullish reversal pattern.
The Rally-Base-Drop- a bearish reversal pattern
Continuation Patterns
The Rally-Base-Rally- a bullish continuation pattern.
The Drop-Base-Rally- a bearish continuation pattern
Strong Zones-
• Like in any form of technical analysis or trading strategy, there are strong signals and weak signals. To get the best trading results, we need to ignore the weak signals and take the strong ones.
• The perfect Demand or Supply trade setup will have all of these features:
-
-
- Less than 3 Base candles- The demand or supply zone should ideally contains 1 to 3 base candles. Accumulation and distribution can take a while, but too long zone may get exhausted before the re-test later.
- Strong Price move- The demand or supply zone should ideally contains more than 2 explosive candles. This shows a strong price move that has significance.
- Fresh / Untested Zones- The best zones are when the price has not revisited it since the breakout. Just like support and resistance, the more times supply zones and demand zones are test, the more likely they are to fail.
