The readings: what TapeHawk's footprint and heatmap indicators recorded in the day's large moves

The retest came first: price came back to 4,025.72 on the Key Levels of the candle and footprint charts, with 6 touches during the clip, into a level where it had turned before and where heavy volume had traded. From there XAUTUSDT fell 1.29% in 59 minutes, from 4,030.46 at 13:31 UTC to 3,978.49 at 14:30 UTC, a decline of 129 bps; the same market-wide move carried XAUUSDT through 1.30% in 59 minutes and SPCXUSDT through 2.33% in 3 minutes. In the same move the indicators recorded marks: Liquidity Changes on the heatmap, buy side, 165 marks, one of the book's largest resting walls stood and was then pulled without the tape explaining the drop; Stop Runs on the heatmap, sell side, 32 marks, several aggressive orders in a row all one direction, each starting where the last one stopped; and Big Trades on the heatmap, sell side, 28 marks, one very large fill at a single price, a decision rather than the tail of many small trades. In the minutes before the move the tape carried 58 marks at 1.04 times the day's normal, led by Liquidity Changes on the buy side and on the sell side, then Stop Runs on the buy side; during the move it carried 432 marks at 1.94 times the day's normal, led by Liquidity Changes on the buy side, then on the sell side, then Stop Runs on the sell side. While the marks were recorded, Relative Volume on the candle chart showed the volume of the bars reached 11.40 times its recent average.
