i) Premise The primary reason price of any asset moves is because of an imbalance between supply (sellers) and demand (buyers). The larger the imbalance, the stronger the move. • Supply > Demand: Price falls • Demand > Supply: Price rises • Supply = Demand: Consolidation

ii) Types There are several types of supply/demand zones, but broadly speaking they fall into two categories: • Reversal: Price rallies (falls), consolidates, and reverses to fall (rally). • Continuation: Price rallies (falls), consolidates, and continues to rally (fall).pic.twitter.com/gZjWRmCI15

iii) Identification As noted above, supply/demand zones always from during the consolidation (the base) b/w rallies and drops. Method 1 (Clusters): • Demand: Use the low of the base and the highest candle body. • Supply: Use the high of the base and lowest candle body.pic.twitter.com/EwkhPgIqET

Method 2 (Single Candles): More commonly known as order blocks (OB), you'd have seen these all over Twitter in the past few weeks. • Demand: A down candle before an up move that leads to a higher high. • Supply: An up candle before a down move that leads to a lower low.pic.twitter.com/28jd1HlOkJ

Replying to @HsakaTrades
Is there a reason why you don’t include the upper wick in the demand OB and lower wick in the supply OB? Or just preference?

Just preference. It's completely discretionary. Some use the full candle, some only the bodies. My reasoning behind it is that if there's a lower wick, price was pushed up, that means there's demand there. Viceversa for upper wicks. Also, I prefer using the wicks to manage risk
