What does the Indicator show?

A drop of Liquidity Sentiment suggests more traders are willing to pay the Ask, as they are keen to buy. (In this situation, the indicator moves towards the Ask label).

A rising Liquidity Sentiment suggests more traders are eager to sell, and willing to accept the Bid. (In this situation, the indicator moves towards the Bid label).
