How Whale Markers Reveal the Market’s Next Move

Over the last few days, we’ve been looking closely at the Whale Markers — those yellow blocks with the “W”. Many traders have been asking why they’re so effective and what makes the market react so decisively when they appear.

t’s important to remember — it isn’t the indicator itself that moves the market.
PAT simply reveals what’s already happening beneath the surface.

These Whale Markers highlight the moments when massive volumes of institutional money enter the market — often in anticipation of a larger plan unfolding.

When these markers appear, you’ll often see a strong immediate reaction, or sometimes a delayed one. But the key is what happens next: the market frequently interacts with the Buffer Zones that are automatically plotted by PAT.

Watch how price moves down into a buffer after a Whale Marker appears — that combination often signals where the market’s energy is about to release. From there, the next major move frequently begins. You’ll see this pattern repeat over and over again across pairs and timeframes.

Some traders now focus almost entirely on the whales — waiting for them to appear on their higher timeframes, then aligning their trades accordingly. Whether you’re using the 5-minute chart or a 30-minute overview, the concept remains the same:

Whale Markers show where intent meets liquidity. Buffers show where belief changes hands.

Together, they offer one of the clearest reads on market behavior available — and they’re plotted for you automatically.
