What is Footprint Chart?
A visual representation of traded volume at each price level inside a bar, helping identify control and imbalance.
Footprint charts display volume at each price level within a bar, often color-coded to show buyer/seller aggression. These charts reveal important microstructure details like absorption, exhaustion, and trapped participants. Key footprint patterns include diagonal imbalances (showing aggressive directional flow) and high-volume absorption zones (potential reversal areas).
