Pressure Visualization on Each Candle
This indicator overlays a visual meter on every candlestick showing the balance between buying and selling pressure. Rather than interpreting candle color alone, you see a proportional breakdown of which side - buyers or sellers - controlled the majority of activity within that bar.
Simple Meter Format
The meter format distills complex volume data into an easy-to-read overlay. A candle dominated by buy pressure shows a larger green portion, while sell-heavy bars display more red. This immediate visual feedback saves time compared to analyzing separate volume panels or indicators.

Confirming Candle Signals
A green candle with mostly sell pressure underneath is a warning sign - it suggests the move up lacks genuine buying support and may reverse. Conversely, a red candle with heavy buy pressure hints at accumulation and a potential reversal to the upside on the next bars.
Intraday and Swing Applications
Day traders use the overlay to confirm breakout candles - a strong breakout bar should show overwhelming pressure from the breakout direction. Swing traders check daily candles at key support or resistance levels to validate whether the reaction has genuine volume conviction behind it.

Common Questions About Buy/Sell Pressure Overlays
Common Questions About Buy/Sell Pressure Overlays
Visualizing buying and selling pressure within each candle adds depth to price analysis, but traders often wonder how the calculations work. Here are common questions answered.
Visualizing buying and selling pressure within each candle adds depth to price analysis, but traders often wonder how the calculations work. Here are common questions answered.
How does the indicator determine buy versus sell pressure within a candle?
Most buy/sell pressure indicators estimate pressure based on where the close falls relative to the high and low. A close near the high suggests buyers won the bar. Tick-level data or bid/ask volume provides more precision but requires a data feed that supports it.
What does it mean when a green candle shows mostly sell pressure?
A green candle with heavy sell pressure warns that buyers struggled despite the higher close. Sellers were active throughout the bar. This divergence often precedes a reversal, as the apparent strength lacks genuine buying conviction.
Can I use this indicator on daily charts or only intraday?
The indicator works on any timeframe, but intraday charts provide more granular pressure readings. On daily charts, the meter summarizes the entire session's tug-of-war. Both applications help confirm whether moves have volume conviction behind them.
