What Is a Liquidity Void?

Unbalanced pricing zones created by explosive moves

Core Definition

A Liquidity Void is a price area where the market moved very quickly, leaving little to no trading activity between levels. It usually forms during strong displacement, when price moves aggressively in one direction.

Key Differences

• Expansion Phase: Characterized by large impulsive candles with minimal wick overlap.
• 1. Indicates that orders were executed rapidly with little resistance.
• 2. Often associated with strong institutional momentum. Because these zones lack balanced trading, the market may later revisit them to rebalance price and fill inefficiencies.
