## DESCRIPTION

This heatmap is characterized by having multiple prominent nodes of positive and negative values, in many cases bearing a resemblance to a rainbow. Another distinct feature of this heatmap is the lack of a clear range for price to trade within, heralding choppy and erratic price action.

## HOW TO APPROACH

When positioning is this vague, the map offers little to lean on. Many traders treat it as a reason to stand aside until a clearer structure forms.
