Buying & Selling Pressure

fract Updated   
Buying and selling pressure is a volatility indicator which denotes the balance between buyers and sellers inside candlestick.
You set the length to average it just like ATR. But This offers further break down of participants of the market.
Pretty much at any condition of the market the indicator can filter out interesting details to make trading decisions faster or confirm them.

So keep it simple we have two lines
🟢 Green → buying pressure
🔴 Red → selling pressure

If green is rising → Price most likely will grow
If green is rising and red is falling → Price will grow at higher probability
If red is rising → Price most likely will fall
If red is rising and green is falling → Price will fall at higher probability

When they both grow or fall → wait till one of them goes opposite way.

╳ Crossings can indicate turning points for bigger price swings.
Technically by very act of intersecting means that Buying and Selling Pressure are equal.

Can be used for Demand/Supply analysis and evaluate the support/resistance levels.

For example capture of covid19 lockdown 📉 bearish wave.
