What's everyone using for order flow analysis on BTCUSD? I've seen mentions of depth charts and footprint charts, but I'm not sure which is more effective for spotting institutional displacement. Trying to improve my entry timing.

@njackson103 I think footprint charts are way better for seeing where the big money is stepping in, especially for spotting those liquidity grabs. You can see the volume spikes more clearly than just depth.
@njackson103 Footprint charts definitely offer more granular detail. I find them most useful when combined with volume profile analysis to spot significant VPVR nodes where large orders might be lurking.

@njackson103 I've been experimenting with footprint charts myself, especially during these London/NY overlaps. What I've found is that they really shine when you look for divergence between price action and volume clusters. You can see pockets of absorption or distribution that aren't obvious on a standard chart, which helps in anticipating reversals or continuations.
