Movement based on Buying/Selling Volume

How it works

The indicator first calculates buying and selling volumes by analyzing price movements within a specified lookback period. It proportionally determines volume contributions by comparing closing prices to candle highs and lows, ensuring accurate volume representation.

The calculated volumes are then normalized and subjected to exponential moving average (EMA) calculations using two different lookback periods. These EMAs help smooth out volume data and reveal underlying market trends by comparing buying and selling pressures.

Why it may be useful

This indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of market dynamics by quantifying buying and selling pressures through volume analysis. By translating raw volume data into actionable trend insights, it helps traders understand the underlying strength of price movements and potential market sentiment.

The dual-period EMA approach allows for more robust trend confirmation, reducing the likelihood of false signals and providing traders with a more nuanced understanding of market behavior across different timeframes.

When to explore it

The indicator works best in markets with clear volume trends and significant price movements, such as during trending market conditions or around major economic events. Traders can utilize this signal to confirm existing trends and identify potential trend reversals.

It is particularly effective when combined with other technical analysis tools, helping traders make more informed decisions by providing additional context about market momentum and volume-driven price actions.
