Supply & Demand Zones Explained
Supply and demand zones are areas on the chart where price moved away sharply, revealing an imbalance between buyers and sellers. A demand zone is where strong buying appeared (potential support); a supply zone is where strong selling appeared (potential resistance). They're the foundation behind order blocks.
How to find zones
- Look for a sharp, impulsive move away from an area.
- The base it left from is the zone (demand if price rallied, supply if price dropped).
- Fresh, untested zones tend to react best.
- The origin candle is essentially the order block.
How to trade them
Wait for price to return to the zone, look for a reaction, and trade in the direction of the original move with a stop beyond the zone. Confluence with liquidity and structure improves the odds.

Supply and demand vs support and resistance?
S&R are lines/levels; supply and demand are zones based on where price moved away sharply. They overlap a lot.
Is supply and demand the same as order blocks?
Order blocks are a more precise, structure-based version of the same idea.
