Liquidity void / volume imbalance

ICT · Timeframe: H1 / M15 · Sessions: —

Stretches covered with almost no trading that price tends to come back and fill.

How it works

A liquidity void is a move of one or several large candles with barely any overlap; a volume imbalance is the gap between the bodies of two consecutive candles. Both indicate inefficiency and often act as a magnet or as support/resistance when revisited.

Step-by-step rules

1. Mark the stretch without candle overlap.
2. Wait for the pullback into that zone.
3. Look for lower-timeframe confirmation before entering.
