The UVOL/DVOL Two-Sided Ratio Histogram calculates the ratio between up volume and down volume dynamically for any selected chart timeframe. When up volume exceeds down volume, the indicator displays a positive bar representing the volume ratio, and when down volume is higher, it shows a negative bar representing the inverse ratio.
The histogram is centered around a zero line, providing a clear visual representation of volume dominance. Positive bars indicate stronger buying pressure, while negative bars suggest increased selling pressure, allowing traders to quickly gauge market sentiment through volume analysis.
