+ Breadth & Volumenote* If you've used my "+ Rate of Change Indicator", I am updating that without the OBV, which has been moved here. Just an FYI.
This "indicator" is basically a variety of indicators that measure volume, or accumulation/distribution. There's a bit of a story about how this came about but
it's not that interesting, so I'll spare you.
Indicators from which you may choose here are On Balance Volume (OBV), Money Flow Index (MFI), Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), Chaikin Oscillator, and Positive & Negative Net Volume.
I'll give a brief overview of these below, and if you want to educate yourself further on them you may. There are many web resources for that.
Most people are probably familiar with OBV. It's one of the more commonly used volume indicators, especially in the crypto crowd (at least amongst those traders I follow). It's basically a cumulative (doesn't oscillate around a midpoint) momentum indicator that measures volume of the current period versus volume of the previous period and adds it if price closed higher, but subtracts it if price closes lower. It's another way of using volume to confirm trend.
The MFI is a momentum indicator that measures the flow of money into and out of an asset over some period of time (user input). It's calculated using the RSI, so it can be used similarly to RSI (divergences, overbought, oversold, etc.), but of course unlike the RSI it's calculated primarily using volume and comparing the most recent candle close to the previous one (similar to OBV).
CMF is a volume-weighted average of accumulation and distribution over a some period of time (typically 21). It's a way of measuring accumulation versus
distribution in an asset, and oscillates around a zero line. You would use it similarly to any other oscillator, in that you can look for divergences, and general positive or negative momentum.
Chaikin Oscillator is basically a MACD (without signal line) of the accumulation and distribution index (or line--which is somehow different than simply accumulation and distribution). I haven't looked into these differences deeply, but if you look below at the calculations, and substituted 'ad' for 'accdist' you get very different readings. I actually did that, and what it looks like it would do is turn the actual Oscillator into a MACD signal line. So, by substituting 'ad' for 'accdist' (or the accumulation/distribution index) you produce a signal line of the Chaikin Oscillator.
Anyway, all that confusion out of the way, as I said, it's a MACD on the accumulation and distribution index, therefore it is another zero line oscillator, and similarly to CMF, it's a way of measuring price movements in the chart versus a/d. The zero line isn't just any old zero line, however, it is actually the accumulation distribution line. I've made an OBV version of this by substituting the OBV for AD, so if you prefer OBV maybe you will like that.
Pos. & Neg Net Volume is actually an indicator I had seen made by RafaelZioni. It basically takes net volume, calculates a cumulative of that, then subtracts a moving average of some period from the cumulative net volume in order to create a volume oscillator. Use it like the other oscillators!
Added Donchian Channels, moving averages, Bollinger Bands, colored everything, and alerts.
Enjoy!
Below I will post images with the different indicators, everything on default settings (except for lookback period, which I have adjusted to my personal preferences).
Above is an image with the MFI being compared to the RSI since they are very similar (MFI being basically a volume derivative of the RSI).

NormInvTargetSeekerNormInvTargetSeeker
The NormInvTargetSeeker is a trading tool designed to aid traders in identifying and capitalizing on Distribution and Accumulation zones, highlighting specific price levels that could serve as targets for future price movements. Although the indicator itself is not multi-timeframe, an effective trading strategy might involve signal validation across multiple timeframes.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator identifies Distribution and Accumulation zones, providing potential targets for future price moves.
Traders are encouraged to use these zones as profit targets or potential reversal points.
Confluence Zones
These zones are identified as regions where various factors or levels converge, signaling an increased probability of price reaction.
They can be used to reinforce signals or identify levels where price might encounter significant resistance or support.
🔹 Trading Strategy
First, identify a signal on your primary trading timeframe.
Manually check higher timeframes to ensure the signal aligns with them.
Use the identified zones, whether Distribution or Accumulation, as target zones for your trades.
🔶 Order Blocks
The NormInvTargetSeeker identifies "Order Blocks" by examining a specified number of consecutive candles with a specific condition: the current candle must completely engulf the previous candle. This means that both the high and low of the current candle are higher and lower, respectively, than the high and low of the previous candle, signifying a dominant move in the direction of the current candle.
🔹 Trading Strategy
Target Confirmation: Order Blocks can serve to confirm target points, providing additional validation for identified levels.
Market Insight: They offer crucial insights into whether "big hands" or institutional players are positioned as buyers or sellers in the market.
Traders can use Order Blocks as a means to validate targets or key price levels, observing if the price reacts significantly upon reaching these blocks.
They can also provide insights into the general market direction or underlying market strength by identifying where the major market players are placing their orders.
🔶 SETTINGS
The indicator allows users to adjust various parameters to customize the display and logic of the tool to fit their needs.
🔹 Display Settings
Users can customize the colors and displays of various zones and labels to match their preferences.

MACDVMACDV = Moving Average Convergence Divergence Volume
The MACDV indicator uses stochastic accumulation / distribution volume inflow and outflow formulas to visualize it in a standard MACD type of appearance.
To be able to merge these formulas I had to normalize the math.
Accumulation / distribution volume is a unique scale.
Stochastic is a 0-100 scale.
MACD is a unique scale.
The normalized output scale range for MACDV is -100 to 100.
100 = overbought
-100 = oversold
Everything in between is either bullish or bearish.
Rising = bullish
Falling = bearish
crossover = bullish
crossunder = bearish
convergence = direction change
divergence = momentum
The default input settings are:
7 = K length, Stochastic accumulation / distribution length
3 = D smoothing, smoothing stochastic accumulation / distribution volume weighted moving average
6 = MACDV fast, MACDV fast length line
color = blue
13 = MACDV slow, MACDV slow length line
color = white
4 = MACDV signal, MACDV histogram length
color rising above 0 = bright green
color falling above 0 = dark green
color falling below 0 = bright red
color rising below 0 = dark red
2 = Stretch, Output multiplier for MACDV visual expansion

Hidden Liquidity Shift DetectorPurpose
The Hidden Liquidity Shift Detector identifies candles that indicate potential hidden accumulation or distribution activity based on volume and price action behavior. These setups often represent institutional absorption of liquidity ahead of larger moves.
How It Works
The script detects candles with the following characteristics:
Small real body relative to the total candle range
A strong wick (upper or lower) indicating rejection
Volume significantly higher than the recent average
It flags:
Hidden Selling (Distribution) when a bearish candle has a long upper wick and high volume
Hidden Buying (Accumulation) when a bullish candle has a long lower wick and high volume
These candles are often missed by traditional indicators but may precede significant reversals or breakouts.
Features
Automatic detection of absorption-style candles
Volume spike filtering based on configurable multiplier
Wick and body ratio thresholds to fine-tune signal quality
Non-intrusive signal markers (colored circles)
Real-time alerts for hidden buying/selling signals
Usage Tips
Use on 15m to 4H charts for intraday detection, or Daily for swing setups
Combine with support/resistance or volume profile zones for higher conviction
Clusters of signals in the same area increase reversal probability
Can be used alongside Wyckoff-style logic or smart money concepts
Chaikin Oscillator with EMA and AlertsOverview
This indicator plots the classic Chaikin Oscillator along with an EMA overlay to help identify changes in accumulation or distribution momentum. It includes visual markers and built-in alerts for key crossover events such as crossing the zero line and crossing above or below the Chaikin EMA.
Concepts
The Chaikin Oscillator is calculated as the difference between two EMAs of Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) volume. It is used to measure the momentum behind buying and selling pressure. An EMA is applied to the oscillator itself to smooth out signals and provide an additional layer of trend confirmation. Crossovers above or below zero, and above or below the EMA, are interpreted as potential signals of market sentiment shifts.
How to Use the Indicator
Apply the indicator to any chart and select your preferred short, long, and EMA lengths. The script will plot the Chaikin Oscillator in teal and its EMA in red. Triangles and labels will appear on the chart when the oscillator crosses above or below the zero line, or when it crosses its EMA. Green triangles indicate bullish zero-line crossovers, while red triangles indicate bearish ones. Lime and maroon labels signal EMA crossovers. Use these signals to assess momentum shifts and potential entry or exit points.
Interpretation
When the Chaikin Oscillator is above zero and rising, it suggests strong buying pressure. When it is below zero and falling, it suggests strong selling pressure. A crossover above the EMA may indicate an emerging bullish trend, while a crossover below the EMA may suggest increasing bearish momentum. Using both the zero line and EMA crossover together helps filter noise and improves reliability of momentum-based signals.
Notes
The indicator includes four alert conditions that can be enabled in TradingView to notify you of Chaikin Oscillator crossovers. It works across all asset classes and timeframes. This tool is especially useful for identifying momentum shifts ahead of price moves and for confirming volume-based signals in trend continuation or reversal scenarios. Adjust input lengths to suit your trading style or the volatility of the instrument you are analyzing.

Fractal Deviation Bands idea by @XeL_Arjona
CHANGE LOG:
ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION CLOUD: I decided to change it's name from the Buy to Sell Pressure. The code is essentially the same as older versions and they are the center core (VORTEX?) of all derived New stuff which are:
MORPHIC NUMBERS: The "Golden Ratio" expressed by the result of the constant "PHI" and the newer and same in characteristics "Plastic Number" expressed as "PN". For more information about this regard take a look at: HERE!
CUSTOM(K) EXPONENTIAL MOVING AVERAGE: Some code has cleaned from last version to include as custom function the nEMA , which use an additional input (K) to customise the way the "exponentially" is weighted from the custom array. For the purpose of this indicator, I implement a volatility algorithm using the Average True Range of last 9 periods multiplied by the morphic number used in the fractal study. (Golden Ratio as default) The result is very similar in response to classic EMA but tend to accelerate or decelerate much more responsive with wider bars presented in trending average.
FRACTAL DEVIATION BANDS: The main idea is based on the so useful Standard Deviation process to create Bands in favor of a multiplier (As John Bollinger used in it's own bands) from a custom array, in which for this case is the "Volume Pressure Moving Average" as the main Vortex for the "Fractallitly", so then apply as many "Child bands" using the older one as the new calculation array using the same morphic constant as multiplier (Like Fibonacci but with other approach rather than %ratios). Results are AWSOME! Market tend to accelerate or decelerate their Trend in favor of a Fractal approach. This bands try to catch them, so please experiment and feedback me your own observations.
EXTERNAL TICKER FOR VOLUME DATA: I Added a way to input volume data for this kind of study from external tickers. This is just a quicky-hack given that currently TradingView is not adding Volume to their Indexes so; maybe this is temporary by now. It seems that this part of the code is conflicting with intraday timeframes, so You are advised.
This CODE is versioned as BETA FOR TESTING PROPOSES. By now TradingView Admins are changing lot's of things internally, so maybe this could conflict with correct rendering of this study with special tickers or timeframes. I will try to code by itself just the core parts of this study in order to use them at discretion in other areas. ALL NEW IDEAS OR MODIFICATIONS to these indicator(s) are Welcome in favor to deploy a better and more accurate readings. I will be very glad to be notified at Twitter or TradingView accounts at: @XeL_Arjona
Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO) The Klinger Oscillator (KO) was developed by Stephen J. Klinger. Learning
from prior research on volume by such well-known technicians as Joseph Granville,
Larry Williams, and Marc Chaikin, Mr. Klinger set out to develop a volume-based
indicator to help in both short- and long-term analysis.
The KO was developed with two seemingly opposite goals in mind: to be sensitive
enough to signal short-term tops and bottoms, yet accurate enough to reflect the
long-term flow of money into and out of a security.
The KO is based on the following tenets:
Price range (i.e. High - Low) is a measure of movement and volume is the force behind
the movement. The sum of High + Low + Close defines a trend. Accumulation occurs when
today's sum is greater than the previous day's. Conversely, distribution occurs when
today's sum is less than the previous day's. When the sums are equal, the existing trend
is maintained.
Volume produces continuous intra-day changes in price reflecting buying and selling pressure.
The KO quantifies the difference between the number of shares being accumulated and distributed
each day as "volume force". A strong, rising volume force should accompany an uptrend and then
gradually contract over time during the latter stages of the uptrend and the early stages of
the following downtrend. This should be followed by a rising volume force reflecting some
accumulation before a bottom develops.
Volume Accumulation Oscillator (VAO)The Volume Accumulation Oscillator (VAO) is a powerful momentum-based indicator designed to assess the strength of volume accumulation in a given asset. It helps traders identify periods of intense buying or selling pressure and potential trend reversals.
The VAO calculates the Net Volume Accumulation (NVA) by considering the volume, open, close, high, and low prices. It then applies exponential moving averages (EMAs) to smooth the NVA and calculates the VAO by comparing the smoothed NVA with its EMA over a specified signal period.
The VAO is plotted as a line chart, providing a clear visual representation of its values. Positive VAO values indicate strong bullish volume accumulation, suggesting potential upward price movement. Conversely, negative VAO values indicate significant selling pressure and the possibility of a downtrend.
To enhance the analysis, the indicator includes reference levels such as the zero line and +/-1 levels. These levels serve as important reference points for interpreting the VAO values and identifying key turning points in the market.
Additionally, the VAO histogram is included, which further illustrates the strength and direction of volume accumulation. The histogram bars are color-coded, with green bars representing positive VAO values and red bars representing negative VAO values.
The Volume Accumulation Oscillator is a versatile tool that can be used in various trading strategies. Traders can look for divergences between the VAO and the price chart to identify potential trend reversals. Combining the VAO with other technical analysis techniques can provide valuable insights into market dynamics and help traders make informed trading decisions.
Note: It is recommended to customize the indicator's parameters and conduct thorough backtesting to align it with your specific trading strategy and preferences before using it for live trading.

APC Companion – Volume Accumulation/DistributionIndicator Description (TradingView – Open Source)
APC Companion – Volume Accumulation/Distribution Filter
(Designed to work standalone or together with the APC Compass)
What this indicator does
The APC Companion measures whether markets are under Accumulation (buying pressure) or Distribution (selling pressure) by combining:
Chaikin A/D slope – volume flow into price moves
On-Balance Volume momentum – confirms trend strength
VWAP spread – price vs. fair value by traded volume
CLV × Volume Z-Score – detects intrabar absorption / selling pressure
VWMA vs. EMA100 – confirms whether weighted volume supports price action
The result is a single Acc/Dist Score (−5 … +5) and a Coherence % showing how many signals agree.
How to interpret
Score ≥ +3 & Coherence ≥ 60% → Accumulation (green) → market supported by buyers
Score ≤ −3 & Coherence ≥ 60% → Distribution (red) → market pressured by sellers
Anything in between = neutral (no strong bias)
Using with APC Compass
Long trades: Only take Compass Long signals when Companion shows Accumulation.
Short trades: Only take Compass Short signals when Companion shows Distribution.
Neutral Companion: Skip or reduce size if there is no confirmation.
This filter greatly reduces false signals and improves trade quality.
Best practice
Swing trading: 4H / 1D charts, lenZ 40–80, lenSlope 14–20
Intraday: 5m–30m charts, lenZ 20–30, lenSlope 10–14
Position sizing: Increase with higher Coherence %, reduce when below 60%
Exits: Reduce or close if Score drops back to neutral or flips opposite

Trend Volume Accumulations [LuxAlgo]Deeply inspired by the Weiss wave indicator, the following indicator aims to return the accumulations of rising and declining volume of a specific trend. Positive waves are constructed using rising volume while negative waves are using declining volume.
The trend is determined by the sign of the rise of a rolling linear regression.
Settings
Length : Period of the indicator.
Src : Source of the indicator.
Linearity : Allows the output of the indicator to look more linear.
Mult : the multiplicative factor of both the upper and lower levels
Gradient : Use a gradient as color for the waves, true by default.
Usages
The trend volume accumulations (TVA) indicator allows determining the current price trend while taking into account volume, with blue colors representing an uptrend and red colors representing a downtrend.
The first motivation behind this indicator was to see if movements mostly made of declining volume were different from ones made of rising volume.
Waves of low amplitude represent movements with low trading activity.
Using higher values of Linearity allows giving less importance to individual volumes values, thus returning more linear waves as a result.
The indicator includes two levels, the upper one is derived from the cumulative mean of the waves based on rising volume, while the lower one is based on the cumulative mean of the waves based on declining volume, when a wave reaches a level we can expect the current trend to reverse. You can use different values of mult to control the distance from 0 of each level.
Exchanges Combined Volume📊 Exchanges Combined Volume
(Aggregated Multi-Exchange Volume: Binance, OKX, Bybit, etc.) by BIGTAKER*
🔍 Purpose
The Exchanges Combined Volume indicator aggregates real-time trading volumes from multiple global exchanges for a specific asset (e.g., a cryptocurrency).
Instead of relying on a single market, it provides a broader view of market activity, helping users detect abnormal volume behavior and increased participation across the entire market.
⚙️ Supported Exchanges
* USDT Markets
`Binance`, `OKX`, `Bybit`, `Bitget`, `Gate.io`
* USD Markets
`Coinbase`, `Bitfinex`, `Bitstamp`
* Default
Includes the current chart symbol’s native volume by default.
🧮 Core Calculation Logic
1. 📛 Symbol Normalization (cleanSymbol)
Prefixes such as `1000`, `10000`, `100000`, or `1M` (common in leveraged tickers) are automatically removed to extract the base token.
> Example:
> `1000PEPEUSDT` → `PEPEUSDT`
2. 📈 Volume Requests from External Exchanges
Volume is retrieved using the `` format (e.g., `'BINANCE:PEPEUSDT'`, `'COINBASE:BTCUSD'`).
Invalid or delisted pairs are safely ignored using `ignore_invalid_symbol=true`.
3. 📊 Total Volume Calculation
totalVolume = usdtVolume + usdVolume + currentSymbolVolume
The indicator sums the volume from all target exchanges plus the volume from the current chart symbol.
4. 📏 Comparison to Average Volume
* Period: `length = 60` (Simple Moving Average over 60 candles)
* A candle is considered **high-intensity** if:
5. 🎨 Visual Styling
| Condition | Color | Meaning |
| -------------------------- | --------------------- | ----------------------- |
| High-volume Bullish Candle | Light Green (#30db78) | Strong Buying Activity |
| High-volume Bearish Candle | Bright Red (#ff0000) | Strong Selling Activity |
| Normal Bullish Candle | Dark Green (#3c7058) | Regular Buying Volume |
| Normal Bearish Candle | Dark Red (#682e2c) | Regular Selling Volume |
📌 Use Cases
* Detect synchronized volume surges across major global exchanges.
* Identify pre-pump accumulation phases on altcoins.
* Combine with premium gap indicators (e.g., Kimchi Premium) to identify leading market sentiment.
* Confirm breakout momentum with multi-exchange volume validation.
📘 Notes & Warnings
* Listing differences across exchanges may result in **zero volume** on some platforms.
* Prefixes like `1000`, `1M`, etc., are automatically removed to **improve symbol matching accuracy**.
* As volume units are not standardized, this indicator is best suited for **absolute value analysis**, not ratio-based comparisons.
Farley's Accumulation-Distribution Accelerator (ADA)Farley's ADA (From The Master Swing Trader)
What it is :
ADA is designed to track volume oscillations in the market and reduce the impact of shock events.
It observes the supply-demand dynamics within the market, which can trigger natural levels of price reversals.
How It Works
Volume and Price Relationship: ADA measures the lag between price and volume movements. It highlights when volume leads or lags behind price changes, helping traders identify potential reversals or trends.
Signal Generation: ADA can generate faster and cleaner signals compared to traditional indicators like On-Balance Volume (OBV).
Usage
Support and Resistance: ADA formations can help identify support and resistance levels and trendlines.
detect natural levels where price reversals might occur.
Trend Identification: Look for significant divergences between ADA and price action to identify potential trend reversals.
Volume Analysis: Use ADA to anticipate pauses in price movements when volume leads, and expect dynamic trends when ADA significantly moves ahead of price action.
Volume DockThis oscillator has two different modes:
The first one called RSIs is a comparison between the Relative strength index of the Accumulation/Distribution (and the On Balance Volume) and the normal price, to analyze the differences in momentum between the price with volume and without.
The second one, called Dock, is similar except for the fact that the lines are smoothed using the hull moving average formula, this mode is great to signal entries and for reversal analyzing.

OBV Accumulation / Distribution combination v2OBV takes difference between old close and new close and multiplies by volume without considering high and low.
This assigns the entire volume into a single direction even tho movement could've been in both.
Accum/dist takes difference between close and high and low without considering previous close or open. This causes huge deviation from OBV when you have close or open far from high or low and price moving in the other direction like in a series of descending hammers.
This is attempt to combine both so relative motion between candles is detected and volume direction is assigned based relative to movement within a candle to account for volume in both directions.
+ and - depends if close is above previous close (+ if above, - if below)
Maximum upward volume counts if close = high and previous close = low, this makes multiplier 1 and thus entire volume is counted upwards
Maximum downward volume counts if close = low and previous close = high, this makes multiplier -1 and thus entire volume is counted downwards.
Zero volume movement occurs when close = previous close.
Half upward volume movement occurs if close-previous_close is half the range from high-low.
Update:
Open used instead of previous close due to issues with grabbing previous close on some charts. This seems more accurate for gaps without volume.

Money Flow Indicator (Chaikin Oscillator) Indicator plots Money Flow Indicator (Chaikin). This indicator looks
to improve on Larry William's Accumulation Distribution formula that
compared the closing price with the opening price. In the early 1970's,
opening prices for stocks stopped being transmitted by the exchanges.
This made it difficult to calculate Williams' formula. The Chaikin
Oscillator uses the average price of the bar calculated as follows
(High + Low) /2 instead of the Open.
The indicator subtracts a 10 period exponential moving average of the
AccumDist function from a 3 period exponential moving average of the
AccumDist function.

Fib,Guppy Multiple MA(FGMMA)(A/D & Volume Weight,SMA,EMA)[cI8DH]Features:
- 3 + 12 MAs (12 is chosen because Guppy has 12 MAs)
- MA types can be set to Simple, Exponential, Weighted, and Smoothed
- Volume weight can be applied to all available MAs (the built-in VWMA uses Simple MA)
- It is possible to count in only effective portions of the volume in the equation by using Accum/Dist Volume Weight
- Secondary smoothing (useful when volume weight is enabled)
- Predefined MA sets based on Fibonacci sequence (2,3,5,8,.., 377), Guppy (3,5,8,10,12,15 &30,35,40,45,50,60), and cI8DH (2,3,5,8,12,17 & 30,34,39,45,52,60)
Recommended settings:
- hlc3 as input source captures all the essential information encapsulated in a candle. I'd use hlc3 as the default option. In uptrend, "low" and in downtrend, "high" might give more relevant results when using MAs for structural analysis of a market. For commonly used MAs (EMA20, SMA50,100,200), "close" should be used due to their self-fulfilling prophecy effect.
- When you have volume weight above 0, you may want to use secondary smoothing.
- Try not to use Simple MA for smaller lengths (below 20). Sharp changes in the past (right before the period specified by the length) will affect the current value of MA dramatically leading to confusion.
- I am using the first 3 MAs for SMA 50,100,200. You can disable them from the MA type selector all at once when using Fib or Guppy ribbons.

There are different ways of structuring a market. Geometrical (trend lines, channels, fans, patterns, etc) and Fib retracement-based structuring is very common among traders. MAs give an alternative way of analyzing markets. MA ribbons such as Guppy (6 slow and 6 fast-moving MAs) are popular for analyzing market flow. IMO default Guppy sets are a bit random as the numbers do not have an elegant sequence. So I proposed my sets based on increasing sequene spacing (+1). These two MA ribbons are good for market flow analysis but the spacing of the MAs are not ideal for structuring a market. Ribbons based on the Fib sequence is a better choice for structuring a market. This is the equivalent of Fib channels but in a more dynamic form. Among other things, MA Fib ribbon can be used to assess market momentum and to compare different stages of a market. Here are two "educational-only" examples:

MVRV Ratio [Alpha Extract]The MVRV Ratio Indicator provides valuable insights into Bitcoin market cycles by tracking the relationship between market value and realized value. This powerful on-chain metric helps traders identify potential market tops and bottoms, offering clear buy and sell signals based on historical patterns of Bitcoin valuation.
🔶 CALCULATION The indicator processes MVRV ratio data through several analytical methods:
Raw MVRV Data: Collects MVRV data directly from INTOTHEBLOCK for Bitcoin
Optional Smoothing: Applies simple moving average (SMA) to reduce noise
Status Classification: Categorizes market conditions into four distinct states
Signal Generation: Produces trading signals based on MVRV thresholds
Price Estimation: Calculates estimated realized price (Current price / MVRV ratio)
Historical Context: Compares current values to historical extremes
Formula:
MVRV Ratio = Market Value / Realized Value
Smoothed MVRV = SMA(MVRV Ratio, Smoothing Length)
Estimated Realized Price = Current Price / MVRV Ratio
Distance to Top = ((3.5 / MVRV Ratio) - 1) * 100
Distance to Bottom = ((MVRV Ratio / 0.8) - 1) * 100
🔶 DETAILS Visual Features:
MVRV Plot: Color-coded line showing current MVRV value (red for overvalued, orange for moderately overvalued, blue for fair value, teal for undervalued)
Reference Levels: Horizontal lines indicating key MVRV thresholds (3.5, 2.5, 1.0, 0.8)
Zone Highlighting: Background color changes to highlight extreme market conditions (red for potentially overvalued, blue for potentially undervalued)
Information Table: Comprehensive dashboard showing current MVRV value, market status, trading signal, price information, and historical context
Interpretation:
MVRV ≥ 3.5: Potential market top, strong sell signal
MVRV ≥ 2.5: Overvalued market, consider selling
MVRV 1.5-2.5: Neutral market conditions
MVRV 1.0-1.5: Fair value, consider buying
MVRV < 1.0: Potential market bottom, strong buy signal
🔶 EXAMPLES
Market Top Identification: When MVRV ratio exceeds 3.5, the indicator signals potential market tops, highlighting periods where Bitcoin may be significantly overvalued.
Example: During bull market peaks, MVRV exceeding 3.5 has historically preceded major corrections, helping traders time their exits.
Bottom Detection: MVRV values below 1.0, especially approaching 0.8, have historically marked excellent buying opportunities.
Example: During bear market bottoms, MVRV falling below 1.0 has identified the most profitable entry points for long-term Bitcoin accumulation.
Tracking Market Cycles: The indicator provides a clear visualization of Bitcoin's market cycles from undervalued to overvalued states.
Example: Following the progression of MVRV from below 1.0 through fair value and eventually to overvalued territory helps traders position themselves appropriately throughout Bitcoin's market cycle.
Realized Price Support: The estimated realized price often acts as a significant
support/resistance level during market transitions.
Example: During corrections, price often finds support near the realized price level calculated by the indicator, providing potential entry points.

The MVRV Ratio Indicator provides traders with a powerful on-chain metric to identify potential market tops and bottoms in Bitcoin. By tracking the relationship between market value and realized value, this indicator helps identify periods of overvaluation and undervaluation, offering clear buy and sell signals based on historical patterns. The comprehensive information table delivers valuable context about current market conditions, helping traders make more informed decisions about market positioning throughout Bitcoin's cyclical patterns.
Stock vs SPY % ChangeStock vs SPY % Change Indicator
This Pine Script indicator helps you compare a stock's price performance to the S&P 500 (using SPY ETF) over a user-defined period. It calculates the percentage price change of the stock and SPY, then displays the difference as a relative performance metric. A positive value (plotted in green) indicates the stock is outperforming SPY (e.g., dropping only 3% while SPY drops 10%), while a negative value (plotted in red) shows underperformance.
Features:
Adjustable lookback period (default: 20 days) to analyze recent performance.
Visual plot with green/red coloring for quick interpretation.
Zero line to clearly separate outperformance from underperformance.
How to Use:
Apply the indicator to your stock's chart.
Set the "Lookback Period" in the settings (e.g., 20 for ~1 month).
Check the plot:
Green (above 0) = Stock's % change is better than SPY's.
Red (below 0) = Stock's % change is worse than SPY's.
Use on daily or weekly charts for best results.
Ideal for identifying stocks that hold up better during market downturns or outperform in uptrends. Perfect for relative strength analysis and to spot accumulation.
