Zig Zag/Consecutive Bars [UkutaLabs]

How it works

The Zig Zag/Consecutive Bars indicator analyzes price action by tracking when a candle closes above or below the previous bar's high or low. It dynamically monitors the market's trend direction, identifying new pivot points and marking significant price movements.

As each bar completes, the script checks the current trend and determines if a new high or low has been established. When a pivot point occurs, the indicator calculates and displays the RSI score, providing insight into the trend's momentum and strength. Additionally, it tracks and displays the number of bars that have passed since the most recent pivot point.

Why it may be useful

The visual representation of market movements allows traders to quickly identify periods of strong trending or consolidation. The RSI scores and bar count labels offer additional context, helping traders assess the strength and potential sustainability of a current market trend.
