Highest Volume Candle Analysis @MaxMaserati

# Highest Volume Candle Analysis Indicator - Trading View Publication Summary

## What is the HVC Indicator?

The "Highest Volume Candle Analysis" indicator by MaxMaserati helps traders identify significant volume events and their subsequent breakouts. This tool detects high-volume candles that exceed a customizable threshold above the average volume and tracks how price interacts with these levels.

## Core Principle: Volume-Based Support & Resistance

The fundamental concept behind this indicator is that the highest volume candles represent significant market participation and create powerful support and resistance zones. These high-volume candles should be able to push price up or down, and price should not be able to close above (bearish HVC) or below (bullish HVC) these levels.

While price may temporarily breach these levels with a wick to take liquidity, it should not be able to close beyond them if the original volume-based level is truly significant. When price does close beyond these levels, it signals a violation of supply and demand principles and indicates a significant shift in market strength - a key trading opportunity.

# How to Use the HVC Indicator

## Trading with HVC Levels

- **Support & Resistance**: Green lines mark bullish HVC support levels; red lines mark bearish HVC resistance levels.
- **Respect the Close**: While price may wick through HVC levels to grab liquidity, the key signal is whether it can close beyond these levels.
- **Bounce Trades**: When price approaches but respects an HVC level on close, consider trading in the direction of the rejection.
- **Breakout Trades**: When price closes beyond an HVC level, it indicates a significant shift in market strength - a potential trend change or continuation.
- **Volume Validation**: Check the volume ratio on breakouts; higher relative volume suggests a more reliable signal.

## Quick Tips

1. Use tight stops beyond HVC levels for bounce trades.
2. Look for false breakouts (wicks beyond but closes respecting the level) for counter-trend opportunities.
3. Combine with trend analysis - HVC breakouts in the direction of the larger trend offer higher probability setups.
4. Pay attention to how aggressively price approaches HVC levels - hesitation often indicates the level will hold.
5. The most powerful signals occur when price respects multiple HVC levels or when breakouts happen with exceptional volume.
