Liquidity is Grabbed
These zones are packed with stop-losses and resting orders. When price reaches them, large volumes are triggered suddenly — a classic liquidity grab or stop hunt.
Volatility Spikes
The execution of clustered orders often causes rapid price movement, large wicks, or fakeouts around the zone.
Possible Price Reactions:
Stall / Consolidation: Price may pause or range as the market digests the move.
Reversal: If weak hands are flushed out, price may reverse sharply — often aligning with institutional positioning.
Continuation: Price may break through the zone and continue with momentum, using it as a launchpad.
