Buyside and sellside liquidity refer to the concentrations of buy and sell orders. That exist in a market, often near support and resistance levels.

This price gap signals potential opportunities, offering insights into bullish or bearish price action.

Conversely, when the market price is lower than the intrinsic value, it's trading at a discount.
