HOW TO USE "Price Volume Correlation (PVC) Indicator

PVC Indicator – Sideways Market, Weak Bullish Volume & Liquidity Sweeps at Range High

📌 Market Context (BTCUSDT – 15m)

Bitcoin continues to trade in a well-defined sideways range, with price oscillating between the previous day’s High, Low, Close, and VWAP levels.
What stands out is that most short-term moves — especially bullish attempts — lack meaningful volume confirmation. On the PVC indicator, this shows up as gray candles, which indicate no correlation between price direction and volume participation.

This lack of price-volume alignment is typical of a range-bound market, where price fluctuates but institutional participation remains muted.

1️⃣ Multi-Day OHLC Levels Acting as Strong Support & Resistance

The Multi-Day OHLC module plotted on the chart is playing a major role in revealing why the market has been stuck in a range:

• Previous Day High (PDH) → Strong Resistance

Price repeatedly tapped and rejected from PDH, showing liquidity hunts and seller absorption, especially during the large top-side sweep.

• Previous Day Low (PDL) → Reliable Support

The market bounced multiple times from the PDL region, confirming buyers defending the lower boundary of this range — but without strong volume, which prevents any sustained rally.

• Previous Day Close & VWAP → Mid-Range Magnet

These acted as mean reversion points:
• Price frequently returned to Daily Close/VWAP
• PVC candles stayed gray
• No volume expansion occurred

This behavior confirms that the market is rotating inside a fair value zone, not trending.

Conclusion from OHLC Levels:

The repeated interaction with these levels — without breakout volume — indicates classic sideways behavior, where price respects previous day key levels and rotates between them without a directional follow-through.

2️⃣ Liquidity Sweep at the Top – Clear Stop-Hunt & Reversal

A clean bearish liquidity sweep formed at the top of the range:
• Price spiked above PDH
• Collected stop-losses
• Closed back inside the range
• PVC turned red with strong volume alignment

This confirms the sweep was real, and sellers stepped in exactly at a major resistance level.

⸻

3️⃣ Weak Bullish Volume → No Momentum Follow-Through

Across the last 24 hours:
• Very few green PVC candles (True Bull Moves)
• Majority of candles remain neutral/gray
• BUY signals trigger but lack follow-through because volume does not expand

This indicates no aggressive demand — price moves up occasionally, but without participation.

⸻

4️⃣ Bearish Moves Have Volume Support

Interestingly, PVC shows:
• Red candles where volume rises during declines
• SELL signals aligning with volume spikes
• Bearish sweeps occurring at key resistance

This means sellers are more active than buyers, even though the overall structure is sideways.

⸻

🎯 Summary
• Market: Sideways / Range-bound
• OHLC Behavior: Daily High–Low–Close acting as clean support & resistance
• Top Sweep: Strong rejection from PDH with volume confirmation
• Volume Trend: Weak on bullish moves, stronger on declines
• PVC Reading: Mostly gray → no real correlation → low conviction environment
• Bias: Neutral to slightly bearish until PVC prints green confirmation (Price Up + Volume Up)

PVC helps to clearly distinguish between fake rotations and true momentum, while the OHLC levels provide a structural map of where liquidity sits.
