The script calculates volume moving averages using user-selectable methods like SMA, EMA, or VWMA over a configurable lookback period. It determines volume conditions by comparing current volume against a baseline using custom multipliers, categorizing volume levels as low, high, or extreme based on predefined thresholds.
By utilizing a percentile-based approach, the script identifies exceptional volume spikes and dynamically colors volume bars and optional price candles. The color scheme provides immediate visual feedback about current market volume conditions, with transparency adjusted to reflect relative volume intensity.
Why it may be useful

By highlighting volume conditions through color-coded indicators, traders can more easily identify potential entry and exit points, confirm trend reversals, and gauge market sentiment without requiring complex manual calculations.
When to explore it
