What is Sell-Side Liquidity?

The pool of sell orders resting below support — longs' stops and breakout shorts.

The DefinitionSell-Side Liquidity, defined

Sell-Side Liquidity is the cluster of sell orders sitting below obvious lows: swing lows, overnight lows, equal lows, and key support. It's made of longs' stop-losses (which are sell orders) and pending breakout shorts. Smart money buys into sell-side liquidity because it's the deepest pool of willing sellers. A sweep of sell-side liquidity followed by a reclaim is a classic long Reveal in the RRR framework.

Why It MattersWhy Sell-Side Liquidity matters

The overnight low is the most-watched sell-side pool on the board. Watch what price does when it gets there — the reaction tells you everything.
