The readings: what TapeHawk's footprint and heatmap indicators recorded
The retest was ETHUSDT returning to 2,473.90, a level it had touched 16 times during the clip, where price had turned before and heavy volume traded; the return ran from 2,475.80 at 14:33 UTC to 2,512.85 at 15:33 UTC, 1.50%. Price came back into that zone and the indicators recorded their marks there in the same move: Absorptions on the heatmap chart, buy side, at 33 marks during the retest's hour, Stop Volume on the heatmap chart, buy side, at 19 marks, and Volume Spikes on the heatmap chart, buy side, at 18 marks. Absorptions records a large amount of size piling up while price stayed inside a narrow band, then the band giving way. Stop Volume records a cluster of size forced through several price levels in runs, the shape stop orders leave, finished firing. Volume Spikes records a burst of trading going through: a large amount in a few seconds, across several price levels, pointing the way of the side that traded more. While the marks were recorded, Relative Volume (RVOL) on the candle chart showed the volume of the bars reaching 5.50 times its recent average.
