Want to catch sniper entries with insane R:R while avoiding fakeouts?
Mastering supply and demand zones on the 15-minute chart, and timing entries on the 5m and 3m, is how pro traders stack consistent wins, even in volatile markets.
In this post, we’ll break down the full system:
- 🔍 How to find high-probability supply and demand zones on the 15m
- 🧠 How liquidity works in these areas
- 📉 How to confirm entries using the 5m and 3m
- 💥 When to avoid traps and wait for real confirmation
🧱 What Are Supply and Demand Zones?
Supply and demand zones represent areas of imbalance where price either:
- Dropped hard (supply) from an area of aggressive selling
- Pushed up (demand) from an area of aggressive buying
These zones mark where institutions moved price, and that’s the exact reason they’re so powerful — they show where smart money is sitting.
📍Step 1: Identify Zones on the 15-Minute Chart
The 15m chart is ideal for plotting strong intraday zones. Here’s what to look for:
🔴 Supply Zone (Short Bias)
- Sharp move down
- Small candle or base before the drop
- Preferably accompanied by high volume
🟢 Demand Zone (Long Bias)
- Sharp move up
- Small candle or base before the pump
- Again, confirmed with volume spikes
🧠 Pro Tip: Look for zones that haven’t been retested yet. Untested zones = stronger probability of a reaction.
🧠 Understanding Liquidity Around These Zones
Here’s where most traders mess up…
They think price will just respect the zone and reverse instantly.
But smart money looks for liquidity grabs, price will often:
- Break slightly above/below the zone
- Trap early buyers/sellers
- Then reverse in the real direction
So what do you do?
📉 Step 2: Use the 5m and 3m Charts for Entry Confirmation
Once price approaches your 15m zone, drop to the 5m or 3m to find:
- Break of structure (BOS)
- Change of character (CHOCH)
- Rejection wicks or engulfing candles
- Divergence (if using RSI or MACD)
This gives you confirmation that the zone is holding.
🎯 Entry Tip:
- Wait for price to break minor structure on 3m or 5m
- Enter on the pullback to the flip zone (previous demand turns supply or vice versa)
🚫 Avoid These Rookie Mistakes
❌ Entering blindly at the edge of the zone
❌ Ignoring volume/price action confirmation
❌ Not waiting for structure shift on lower timeframes
❌ No clear SL/TP planning based on structure
Instead: Let price come to you. Trade reactively, not predictively.
📈 Real Example Setup (Conceptual)
- You spot a clean drop from 72.8k on BTC on the 15m, mark that supply zone.
- Price pushes back up and taps into that zone.
- On the 3m chart, you see:
- A long wick rejection
- A lower high
- Structure break to the downside
- You enter short on the pullback, stop above the wick, TP at next demand zone below.
