█ Overview The Liquidation Volume (Zeiierman) indicator highlights real-time long and short liquidations across all timeframes on TradingView. The indicator assists traders in identifying potential liquidation points in the market based on volume and price movements. Liquidation, in this context, refers to the forced closure of a trader's position due to insufficient margin in their account to support open positions, often occurring during significant price movements.
█ How It Works The indicator operates primarily through the computation of a MomentumAdjustedPrice function, which is applied to volume-weighted prices (open, high, low, close) adjusted for volatility.
█ How to Use Identifying Support and Resistance Levels: Liquidation data can provide valuable insights into key market levels where significant trading activities occur. These levels often act as support or resistance in the price chart. Support levels are typically where an asset's price finds a floor, as buying interest is significant enough to outweigh selling pressure. Conversely, resistance levels are where an asset's price may find a ceiling, with selling interest outweighing buying pressure. By analyzing liquidation data, traders can identify these critical points.
Start of a New Trend: The initiation of a new trend can often be identified by a significant shift in liquidation volumes near breakout levels.
Trend Continuations: Trend continuations are periods where the current trend is sustained and further confirmed by liquidation patterns. For example, in an uptrend, continuous short liquidations might occur, suggesting that the trend is strong and likely to persist as bearish traders keep getting squeezed out. In a downtrend, continuous long liquidations can serve as confirmation that the trend is still in place. Recognizing these patterns in liquidation data can help traders to stay aligned with the prevailing trend and avoid premature exits or entries against the trend.
Trend Reversals: Patterns in liquidations can be crucial in signaling potential trend reversals. A sudden and significant change in liquidation volumes—like a spike in long liquidations during a downtrend or short liquidations during an uptrend—can indicate that the current trend is losing steam and a reversal may be imminent. This information can be particularly useful for traders looking to anticipate market turns and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Spot Potential Liquidation Points: By observing the liquidation candles and their colors, traders can identify where large liquidations are likely occurring, signaling potential market turning points.
Understand Market Sentiment: Changes in liquidation volumes can provide insights into bullish or bearish sentiment, helping traders gauge the market mood. By observing liquidation patterns and clusters, traders can get insights into prevailing market sentiments and emerging trends.
