Price Action Volumetric Breaker Blocks [UAlgo]

20 sept

The Price Action Volumetric Breaker Blocks indicator is designed to identify and visualize significant price levels in the market. It combines concepts of price action, volume analysis, and market structure to provide traders with a comprehensive view of potential support and resistance areas. This indicator identifies "breaker blocks," which are price zones where the market has shown significant interest in the past.

These blocks are created based on swing highs and lows, and are further analyzed using volume data to determine their strength. The indicator also tracks market structure shifts, providing additional context to price movements.

By visualizing these key levels and market structure changes, traders can gain insights into potential areas of price reversal or continuation, helping them make more informed trading decisions.



🔶 Key Features

Dynamic Breaker Block Identification: The indicator automatically detects and draws breaker blocks based on swing highs and lows. These blocks represent areas of potential support and resistance.

Volume-Weighted Strength Analysis: Each breaker block is analyzed using volume data to determine its bullish and bearish strength. This is visually represented by the proportion of green (bullish) and red (bearish) coloring within each block.

Market Structure Break (MSB) and Break of Structure (BOS): The indicator identifies and labels Market Structure Breaks (MSB) and Break of Structure (BOS) events, providing context to larger market trends.

Customizable Settings:

- Adjustable swing length for identifying pivot points

- Option to show a specific number of recent breaker blocks

- Choice between wick or close price for violation checks

- Toggle to hide overlapping blocks for cleaner analysis

Violation Detection: Automatically detects when a breaker block has been violated (broken through), either by wick or close price, depending on user settings.

Overlap Control: Provides an option to hide overlapping order blocks, ensuring that the chart remains clean and easy to read when multiple blocks are detected in close proximity.

🔶 Interpreting Indicator

Breaker Blocks:

Breaker blocks are key areas where the price moves through and invalidates a previously identified order block. The indicator detects a breaker block when the price violates an order block by exceeding its high or low (depending on whether it's a bullish or bearish block). This violation is determined by either the wick or the close of a candle, depending on the user's selection in the "Violation Check" setting. When a breaker block is detected, the indicator removes the violated order block from the chart, signaling that the zone is no longer relevant for future price action.

Bullish Breaker Block: This occurs when a bearish order block (red) is violated by the price closing above the block’s top boundary or when the wick surpasses this level. It signals that a prior bearish structure has been invalidated, and the market may shift to a bullish trend.

Bearish Breaker Block: This occurs when a bullish order block (teal) is violated by the price closing below the block’s bottom boundary or when the wick drops below it. It suggests that a previous bullish structure has been broken, indicating potential bearish momentum.





Market Structure Labels:

"MSB" (Market Structure Break) labels indicate a potential change in trend direction.

"BOS" (Break of Structure) labels confirm the continuation of the current trend after breaking a significant level.

Block Strength:

A block with more green indicates stronger bullish interest.

A block with more red indicates stronger bearish interest.

The relative sizes of the green and red portions show the balance of power between buyers and sellers at that level.
