Volume–Phase Analyzer Pro

Volume–Phase Analyzer Pro – Trend & Institutional Volume Phases

This indicator analyzes how volume behaves relative to price movement to detect whether the market is in Accumulation, Markup, Distribution, or Markdown — the same phases institutions track in professional trading.

Unlike regular volume/MA mashups, this tool combines:

• Institutional volume classification (HighVol Up/Down, LowVol, Confused Vol)
• Price–volume efficiency and wick dominance
• Multi-Timeframe directional filters
• Volatility compression signals using Bollinger Width
• Volume mapped directly into the price chart as candles
• Smart signal engine with cooldown (prevents repeated signal spam)

This helps reveal when Smart Money is accumulating, pushing trends, unloading positions, or flushing liquidity.

How It Works

1️⃣ Volume Strength vs Average Volume
Identifies whether a move is backed by genuine buying/selling power.

2️⃣ Wick & Body Analysis
Confirms whether volume produced meaningful directional pressure — not just noise.

3️⃣ Trend Alignment
Fast EMA vs Slow EMA ensures signals align with active trend.

4️⃣ Higher-Timeframe Confirmation
Confirms if current movement agrees with a larger directional bias.

5️⃣ Compression Detection
When price volatility contracts while high-volume bars appear → phase shift often ahead.

────────────────────────────────────

Signals

BUY → Confirmed bullish demand with trend backing
SELL → Confirmed bearish supply taking control
TRAP → Likely stop-hunt or absorption — often before reversal

Signals only appear when multiple institutional conditions align.

A cooldown prevents repetitive signals like BUY-BUY-BUY.

Markdown phase:
• Meaning: Sellers are in control and the market is trending down
• Background color: Light red

Accumulation phase:
• Meaning: Smart Money quietly buying near the bottom before an uptrend
• Background color: Teal (blue-green)

Distribution phase:
• Meaning: Smart Money quietly selling near the top before a downtrend
• Background color: Light orange/yellow

Consolidation phase:
• Meaning: Sideways movement with low conviction
• Background color: Very light grey

Transition phase:

Quick Usage Notes
• Best trades are Buy signals during Markup and Sell signals during Markdown
• Accumulation and Distribution often come before reversals
• Consolidation is a low-quality trading zone

────────────────────────────────────

How to Trade It
• Take BUY signals during Markup
• Take SELL signals during Markdown
• Expect reversals near Trap signals, especially when phase is changing
• Avoid over-trading Consolidation zones
• Volume candles below price reveal when momentum is increasing or fading

Best applied on 5m–1H for intraday and swing confirmation.
