A magnet level is a price area where estimated liquidation levels are densely stacked, so reaching it would release a burst of forced orders. The nickname comes from how price often gravitates toward these pockets: forced closures are guaranteed counterparties, and size looking for liquidity is drawn to where liquidity is guaranteed to appear.
Treat a magnet as a level of interest, not a target. The honest framing is conditional: if price approaches this band, the reaction there is likely to be faster and larger than in an empty stretch of chart, because a cascade has material to work with. Whether price goes there at all is a separate question the map does not answer. Because magnet levels are model output, they are worth only as much as their measured track record: how we measure ours, with sample sizes and confidence intervals, is on the proof page.
