Absorption Intelligence

Passive absorption

Aggression that hits a level and fails to move it.

Absorption Intelligence — The add-on window, drawn by its own code over a hundred seconds of synthetic session — range, buying pressure and absorption. It is not a mock-up, but it is not live market either: it shows what the tool measures, not a trade.

What it is for

Estimates when large one-sided aggressive volume hits a level without producing the displacement it should: the passive side is absorbing it. It quantifies the evidence and how reliable it is, with a lifecycle.

Trades and BBO. Pair it with Iceberg: same question, complementary angle.

How to read it

Score ↑: Heavy aggression and price pinned. Ticks travelled at almost zero is the heart of the reading.
Buy-side: Buy aggression is being absorbed, so passive sellers control the level.
Confidence: How reliable the reading is — not the odds of a trade working.

What it does NOT mean

Buy-side absorption does not mean “sell”. The level can still give way if the episode exhausts.
