How to Identify Potential Supply Zones in a Chart:
Overhead Resistance and Previous Selling Pressure
When looking to identify potential supply zones in a chart, there are two things
you want to look for: overhead resistance and previous selling pressure.
Overhead resistance is an area where the price has repeatedly tested and failed
to break through. This is typically an area where there is a lot of supply (sellers)
and not much demand (buyers). Previous selling pressure is an area where the
price has previously struggled to move higher. This could be an area where there
was significant selling pressure and the price was unable to break through. By
looking for these two things, you can get a better idea of where the supply and
demand are in the market and where potential trading opportunities may exist.
When it comes to supply and demand, traders often look at price action to get
clues as to where these imbalances may be. Price action is simply a way of
looking at a chart and trying to identify patterns that can give clues as to where
the market may be headed. There are many different price action patterns that
traders use, but some common ones to look for when identifying potential supply
and demand areas are Bollinger Bands®, support and resistance levels, and
Fibonacci retracements.
Trading Tools and Indicators for Supply and Demand Zones
Bollinger Bands® are a technical analysis tool that consists of a simple moving
average (SMA) and two standard deviations. The standard deviation is a
measure of how much the price has moved around the SMA. The Bollinger
Bands® are used to help identify periods of low volatility and high volatility. Low
volatility periods are typically consolidation periods where the market is coiling
up for a move. High volatility periods often see sharp moves in price as supply
and demand imbalances are quickly resolved. By looking at Bollinger Bands®,
traders can get an idea of when the market is ripe for a breakout or reversal.
Support and resistance levels are another important technical analysis tool that
traders use to try and identify potential supply and demand areas. These levels
represent areas where the market has previously found support or resistance and
are often key turning points in the market. When the market is testing a support
or resistance level, it is often an indication that supply and demand are becoming
more evenly balanced. If the market breaks through a support or resistance level,
it can often signal a change in trend.
Fibonacci retracements are another tool that traders use to try and identify
potential supply and demand areas. Fibonacci retracements are based on the
Fibonacci sequence, which is a series of numbers where each number is the sum
of the previous two. The most common Fibonacci retracement levels used by
traders are 23.
By looking for these various technical indicators, traders can get a better idea of
where potential supply and demand imbalances may be. By identifying these
areas, traders can then make more informed decisions about their trading
strategies.
