Absorption Detector

Absorption Detector is a clean and effective tool designed to identify institutional absorption at key turning points of the market.
It highlights candles where volume surges but the real body remains small, indicating potential absorption of liquidity before a reversal move.
Key Features
Volume Spike Detection – identifies abnormal increases in traded volume
Small Body Recognition – pinpoints candles with low real-body percentage
Delta Simulation (Fake Delta) – uses close–open behavior to approximate bullish/bearish delta
Bullish Absorption – highlights potential low-side absorption (green dots + green candles)
Bearish Absorption – highlights potential high-side absorption (red dots + red candles)
Background Highlighting – visual emphasis on absorption zones
Clean, lightweight and non-repainter
How It Helps
Absorption often occurs before strong moves:
Large players fill opposite orders
Stops are triggered and absorbed
Liquidity on one side dries up
Reversal or continuation moves follow
This indicator makes it easy to spot these moments in real time.
