Liquidity Ratios

7 min readUpdated: 2026-08-05

One tab that divides things: volume by liquidity, float by supply, support by resistance. Ratios expose what raw numbers hide, and you can build and alert on your own.

Why ratios beat raw numbers

$500K of volume means nothing until you know how much liquidity absorbed it. $100K of buy walls means nothing until you compare the sell walls above. Raw numbers on their own are how memecoin marketing works; ratios are how positioning works. The Liquidity Ratios tab (first tab on every token page) is CLOBr's division-first view of a token, and the same percentile math ranks every token so you know whether 1.2x is impressive or average.

Liquidity Ratios tab: fee density matrix with volume windows against liquidity bands, each cell showing turnover and percentile rank

The fee density matrix

Rows: how much really traded. Organic volume in three windows: 1H (right now), 6H (sustained), 24H (steady state).

Columns: which liquidity competes with you. Three denominators: the traveled range (pooled dollars where price actually went), the ±10% band (a tight range), and the ±25% band (the standard LP range).

Cell = volume ÷ liquidity. Higher means more fees per pooled dollar. Each cell carries a percentile chip (TOP 10%, TOP 24%...) ranking the token against the whole tracked universe, and clicking any band value explains it on the chart.

Two reading patterns cover most situations:

  • Down a column: is activity accelerating? 1H above 24H means flow is arriving; 1H far below means the day's number is coasting on an earlier burst.
  • Across a row: how tight is the action? Strong in the traveled range but weak at ±25% means fees concentrate in a narrow band; a wide passive range would mostly sit idle.

The ecosystem-wide versions of this number: the LP Fee Cheat Sheet (per token) and the fee density columns on the screener.

Float check

Market caps and per-holder math assume the whole supply trades. It rarely does. The float check reads where supply actually sits so you can discount what never moves: locked or team-held allocations, dormant whales, LP-pooled supply. A "$6M market cap" token whose real float is a fraction of supply moves like a much smaller token, in both directions. Check the float before trusting any per-market-cap comparison.

Support / Resistance profile

The single CLOBr Score compresses buy-side vs sell-side pressure into one number. The S/R profile un-compresses it: directional bias computed per bin window, so you can see where the score comes from. A token can score a neutral 50 overall while being heavily supported close to price and heavily walled far above: tradeable structure the single number hides.

Custom ratios

The builder at the bottom of the tab lets you divide any tracked metric by any other: pick a numerator, pick a denominator, save. Saved ratios compute live on the token page under "Your custom ratios." Combinations traders actually use:

  • Organic volume ÷ holders: real activity per holder; separates communities that trade from communities that hold a bag.
  • Support liquidity ÷ market cap: what fraction of the valuation is defended by real bids. The cushion metric.
  • DCA buy pressure ÷ support liquidity: how much scheduled buying is coming relative to the book it lands on.

Ratio alerts

Any ratio, built-in or custom, can fire an alert when it crosses a threshold. This is the difference between checking a dashboard and being told: save "support liquidity ÷ market cap" and alert below 0.05, and you hear about the cushion thinning before the chart shows it. Channels and delivery are the standard CLOBr Alerts system.

Quick reference

  • Fee density matrix: volume windows ÷ liquidity bands, percentile-ranked
  • Float check: where the tradable supply actually is
  • S/R profile: the CLOBr Score, un-compressed by bin window
  • Custom ratios: any metric ÷ any metric, saved per token
  • Ratio alerts: threshold alerts on any of the above
