Sell Walls

Large accumulations of sell orders at a specific price level, forming a barrier against upward price movement.

What is Sell Walls?

Sell walls manifest as steep red cliffs in depth charts, showing heavy sell orders at one price, such as 30 ETH at $2,020. They indicate resistance, where intense selling halts rises. For ETH/USDT, a sell wall at $60,050 might cap gains if buying pressure is weak.

These help identify exit points near resistance. Like buy walls, they may be spoofed, creating false impressions. In high-demand markets, sell walls can loosen as prices climb, but in low-liquidity scenarios, they increase volatility.
