Order book heatmap

Resting liquidity painted behind the candles, so you can see the walls price is trading into and whether they hold or get pulled.

Order book heatmap behind a 1 minute BTC chart

What you see

  • Heat. Brighter means more size resting at that price, at that moment.
  • Marks. Walls that were pulled or eaten, icebergs and iceberg levels, and sweeps.
  • Trade dots. Binance taker orders on the candles, sized by volume. Perp book only, off by default.

What to look for

  • A wall that keeps getting refilled as price trades into it. That is real interest.
  • A wall that vanishes just before price arrives. That is a pull, not support.
