Stacked Imbalance

What it means

Stacked imbalance tries to show that one side is dominating several nearby prices rather than just one isolated print.

What to watch

It can be useful in fast markets, but isolated stacks without context can still fail quickly when the auction reaches a bigger opposing level.

Stacked Imbalance is most useful once it is tied to a concrete page, chart decision, or workflow question.
