The squeeze candle indicator analyzes price candles by measuring the relationship between their body size and shadow length. It calculates the body-to-shadow ratio and compares the current candle's volume against a predefined threshold to identify potential squeeze conditions.
When a candle meets the specified criteria, the indicator visually highlights it in red and places an 'S' marker above the candle. The detection process involves examining the candle's structural characteristics, focusing on instances where the price movement suggests compressed market dynamics and potential upcoming volatility.
Why it may be useful

By highlighting unique candle formations, it offers insights into market sentiment and potential price acceleration that might not be immediately apparent through traditional analysis.
