# Overview

Market price imbalances arise when there is a sharp discrepancy between supply and demand, causing the asset's price to diverge from its fair value, leading to market inefficiencies.

Generally, prices tend to return to these imbalanced areas in an attempt to restore equilibrium.

The toolkit is able to detect the following imbalances:

These zones often act as support and resistance levels, marking significant points of interest for traders.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/toolkits/imbalance-concepts-tm/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
