7 techniques to master demand and supply zones ( and made money in trading )

We all talk about “waiting for the demand zone” but, do you really know how to find them? Here is the reality: 80% of traders fail because they do not know how to identify where the whales enter and exit the market. The demand and supply zones are exactly that: the points where the big players leave their “fingerprints” on the chart.

Why do these zones work?

Simple: whales cannot put 100 million dollars into the market at once without spiking the price. So they do it in stages. When the price returns to these zones, large participants reappear to complete their orders. The result: predictable bounces.

The 7 methods that professional traders use

1. Order Block (OB) - The most obvious

Look for the last candle of the opposite color before a strong move. If you see a red candle just before BTC explodes upwards, that red candle is your demand zone. Whales started to accumulate there.

2. Fair Value Gap (FVG) - The one that fills gaps

An FVG is a gap on the chart where prices were not traded. The market HATES gaps. 70% of the time, the price returns to “close the gap” before continuing. If you see a big jump, mark that gap: it's pure gold.

3. Wyckoff Method - The whales' strategy

Accumulation: Flat price before rising = demand zone. Whales are quiet, buying. Distribution: Flat price before dropping = supply zone. The whales are calm, selling.

The golden rule: when the price breaks that lateral zone upwards or downwards, it is the confirmation.

4. Market Profile - Look where everyone is trading

The Market Profile shows where the price has spent the most time. If there is a level with tons of historical volume, that is a zone where the market is “comfortable”. When the price returns, it often bounces.

5. Footprint Charts - The whale detector

This chart shows the exact volumes at each price. If you see a level with abnormally high volume, the whales are there. Mark it.

6. Renko and Tick Charts - Noise-free

These charts eliminate the garbage from the market. Renko are built by price changes, not by time. Result: you see the reversal zones much more clearly.

7. Liquidity - Where are the stops

Look for where the price reversed sharply. Those levels have accumulated stop orders. The whales “clean” them to collect liquidity, then continue in the original direction.

How to mark the zones ( step by step )

1. Look for a strong reversal in the history - If BTC fell and bounced back from the same price 3 times, that is a zone.
2. Check the volume - Are there volume spikes in that zone? Then yes, it is real.
3. Draw a rectangle - Mark from the highest point to the lowest point of that zone. That is your range.

The trading strategy (the complete system)

Step 1: Wait. Don't panic. Let the price reach your zone.

Step 2: Look for confirmation:

• Is there a (pin-bar, engulfing) candle pattern?
• Does the volume increase when the price touches the zone?
• Do the indicators diverge?

Step 3: Enter:

• In demand: buy when it rises.
• On sale: sell when it drops.

Step 4: Protect yourself:

• Stop loss just outside the zone.
• Below demand or above supply.

Step 5: Win:

• Take profit at the next resistance ( if you bought ) or support ( if you sold ).

The brutal truth

These techniques work because the market has memory. Whales return to the same zones over and over again. But here is the secret that no one tells you: 90% of the profit comes from waiting for confirmation, not from making the entry. Most traders fail because they enter too quickly.

Practice is the only cure. Open TradingView, draw zones on historical charts, and watch how the price bounces. After 50 charts, you will see the pattern.

Spoiler: The whales already know. The question is, when will you realize it?
