Execution Regions and Mini Footprint
Inspect the price response after concentrated trading
What does it mean?
Execution Regions show concentrated aggressive buying or selling within a time/price area together with the subsequent observed price response. Analysis is limited to Binance BTCUSDT perpetual trades.
A footprint separates trades from the same interval into price rows. The mini footprint is neither a new candle type nor a list of participants: it reveals how much aggressive buying and selling occurred at each price in the selected formation interval.

How do you read it in CloudCraft?
Open Regions (Bölgeler), then click a faint horizontal line or an item in the right-hand list. The selected region shows formation time, buy/sell volume, delta, first hold and last observation.
Testing above/below describes an observed attempt. Held above/below means price stayed on that side within the observation window, not permanent support or resistance. An observation gap limits what can be concluded about the missing interval.
The mini distribution shows sells hitting bids on the left, price in the middle and buys lifting asks on the right. The whole interval's volume may differ from the selected price region's volume. Highlighted rows overlap the region.

How do you use it?
Illustrative example: around 79,200, 18 BTC buys and 7 BTC sells produce +11 BTC delta. If price fails to advance and later stays below the region, aggressive buyers have not achieved upward progress. This can be investigated as a possible buyer trap or sell-side absorption; it is not a confirmed long-trap label.
Conversely, heavy selling followed by price holding above the region shows sellers failing to make progress. Read the executions first, the response second and any retest afterwards.

| Sell (BTC) | Price ($) | Buy (BTC) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 79,202 | 8 |
| 1 | 79,201 | 6 |
| 4 | 79,200 | 4 |
Illustrative numbers only: sells 7 BTC, buys 18 BTC, total 25 BTC, delta +11 BTC. Rows show aggressive executions, not resting orders.
Key points
The automatic filter targets the 24 hours before each formation. Its mean uses volume in occupied time/price cells, multiplied by the selected factor. If fewer hours are available, the panel shows the actual observation coverage; missing hours are not counted as zero volume.
To match archive coverage, automatic mode uses trades of at least 0.3 BTC. Manual mode applies your BTC threshold to loaded trades. General trade bubbles may cover more sources.
Historical lines are reconstructed from loaded data. They are not a sent-alert log, a complete backtest or proof of trapped positions.
