This indicator provides insights into trader's buying and selling sentiment. It is not directly related to traditional momentum indicators, thereby adding value in decision-making. This may allow traders to better predict price movement for more strategic entry and exit points.


What does the Indicator show?

A drop of Liquidity Sentiment suggests more traders are willing to pay the Ask, as they are keen to buy. (In this situation, the indicator moves towards the Ask label).

A rising Liquidity Sentiment suggests more traders are eager to sell, and willing to accept the Bid. (In this situation, the indicator moves towards the Bid label).


Logic:

Why does a stock go up?
Because more traders want to buy than sell, creating illiquidity.
Why does a stock go down?
Because more traders want to sell than buy, creating liquidity.
