Liquidity wall events
Classified from every trade at the wall's own price, not from candles. What is a liquidity wall?
| Event | Wall | Time |

| No clean wall event today. A wall only counts when the trades at its own price prove what happened. | ||
Positioning
Where public open positions would be liquidated, by price: the upper wall, lower wall, flip and fast walls (20x leverage or more). It is an estimate from part of the market's positions. Looking for the call wall, put wall or gamma flip? These are the same kind of levels, built from where traders hold positions rather than from options. Latest snapshot.

Open DepthMethod. Price, volume and order book from perpetual futures. Positioning shows where public open positions would be liquidated, by price; it is an estimate from part of the market's positions. A wall is "held" when trades hit it and price turned, "pulled" when it vanished within seconds with almost nothing traded, "eaten" when most of it was traded away. Times are New York time (ET), with UTC in brackets. Updated 03 Nov 10:06 PM ET the evening before (03:06 UTC).
