Quick Answer

A price area where buying pressure overwhelmed selling, causing a sharp rally—price often reacts bullishly on retests.

What Is the Demand Zone Pattern?

A Demand Zone marks an area where strong buying caused a significant rally away from a consolidation base. When price retraces to this zone, buyers may re-enter, creating support. Demand zones are the bullish counterpart to supply zones and align closely with bullish order blocks in SMC methodology. VaultCharts structure analysis can identify these zones for trade signal confluence.

How the Demand Zone Forms

  1. 1Price consolidates or bases at a level
  2. 2Strong bullish move (drop-base-rally) away from the zone
  3. 3The base/consolidation area defines the demand zone
  4. 4Zone remains valid until fully mitigated by price

How to Confirm the Pattern

Price returns to the demand zone
Bullish rejection (wicks, engulfing, or structure break up)
Increased buying interest on retest
Alignment with higher timeframe bullish bias
