Supply and demand zones used to identify institutional market orderflow

Technical analysis concepts regarding supply and demand zones are highlighted as essential tools for identifying institutional market movements. In the context of the NASDAQ-100 (NAS100), these zones represent areas where significant imbalances in orderflow occur, often characterized by sharp, impulsive price movements and strong volume signatures.

Unlike traditional support and resistance levels, supply and demand zones indicate where large institutions, such as hedge funds or market makers, have entered the market. Effective application of these zones requires monitoring price reactions, market structure, liquidity, and momentum. Traders are advised to look for decisive displacement away from a zone and to prioritize untested areas to increase the reliability of potential entries.
