- Demand/supply zone: an area price left quickly and strongly; traders watch it if price returns.
- Order block: usually defined as the last opposite candle before a strong move. It is not an official exchange or regulator definition.
- Liquidity: where orders cluster, especially stop orders beyond obvious highs/lows. A stop order becomes a market order when its price is reached.
