In technical analysis, the order block indicator is used to find the supply and demand zones that represent the support and resistance.

Supply and demand zones are a popular analysis technique used in day trading. The zones are the periods of sideways price action that come before explosive price moves.

A supply zone forms before a downtrend.
A demand zone forms before an uptrend.

Demand Zone

A demand zone is the price area at which the traders usually buy. This area is present below the current price, where the highest buying interest or potential. This means the demand zone has many buyers available due to many buying orders at that level. When the price hits this level, the unfilled orders get completed and bring up the price.

Supply Zone

A supply zone is the price area at which the traders usually sell. This area is present above the current price, where the highest selling interest or potential. When the price hits this level, the unfilled orders get completed and bring down the price.
