Chapter 4
Absorption
Why does aggressive volume fail to advance the price?
What does it mean?
Absorption describes aggressive buying or selling being met by passive liquidity while price makes limited progress. Buys failing to lift price suggest possible ask-side absorption; sells failing to push it lower suggest possible bid-side absorption.
How do you read it in CloudCraft?
An EMİLİM alert may show price and execution volume/score. Settings > Detection offers absorption visibility and threshold controls.
The heatmap shows resting liquidity, bubbles show executions, and Execution Regions expose the later response. These layers answer different questions.

How do you use it?
Example: selling volume increases while price remains in a narrow area. Bids may be absorbing those sells. A later rise and a downside break are different outcomes; the initial alert does not predetermine which will follow.
Key points
An alert is not an entry order, guaranteed support/resistance or a direct long/short recommendation. Source interruptions and incomplete history limit interpretation. Examine unsuccessful cases as well as examples that later held.
