Buying and Selling Volume Pressure S/R

hace 4 días

This custom indicator aims to visualize underlying market pressure by cumulatively analyzing where trade volume occurs relative to each candle's price range. By separating total volume into "buying" (when price closes near the high of the bar) and "selling" (when price closes near the low of the bar), the indicator identifies shifts in dominance between buyers and sellers over a defined lookback period.

When cumulative buying volume surpasses cumulative selling volume (a "bullish cross"), it suggests that buyers are gaining control. Conversely, when cumulative selling volume exceeds cumulative buying volume (a "bearish cross"), it indicates that sellers are taking the upper hand.

Based on these crossovers, the indicator derives dynamic Support and Resistance lines. After a bullish cross, it continuously tracks and updates the lowest low that occurs while the trend is bullish, forming a support zone. Similarly, after a bearish cross, it updates the highest high that appears during the bearish trend, forming a resistance zone.

A Mid Line is then calculated as the average of the current dynamic support and resistance levels, providing a central reference point. Around this Mid Line, the script constructs an upper and lower channel based on standard deviation, offering a sense of volatility or "divergence" from the mean level.

Finally, the indicator provides simple buy and sell signals: a buy signal is triggered when the price closes back above the Mid Line, suggesting a potential shift toward bullish conditions, while a sell signal appears when the price closes below the Mid Line, hinting at a possible bearish move.

In summary, this indicator blends volume-based market pressure analysis with adaptive support and resistance detection and overlays them onto the chart. It helps traders quickly gauge who controls the market (buyers or sellers), identify dynamic levels of support and resistance, and receive alerts on potential trend changes—simplifying decision-making in rapidly evolving market conditions.
