Yellow = hottest. Bands above = short liq (squeeze fuel up). Bands below = long liq (flush fuel down).

Look for the brightest/most yellow cluster and pick which side it's on.

Hot zone above — brightest cluster above price

Hot zone below — brightest cluster below price

Both sides — significant yellow clusters above and below

Clear — mostly dark purple near price, no dominant cluster

Same screen. Estimate % distance from current price to the nearest bright cluster.

Look at the price axis (right) — note current price and nearest yellow/bright zone price

Rough calc: (cluster price - current price) / current price x 100

< 1% — right on top, extreme immediate volatility

1-3% — close, near-term catalyst if triggered

3-6% — moderate, room to breathe first

> 6% — far away, less immediate pressure
