Volume by Price
Description:
This Pine Script v6 indicator displays a chart that multiplies the volume by the closing price for each bar. It's often referred to as "monetary volume" or "traded value." This allows for the visualization of monetary activity on a price chart.
Technical Insights:
- Calculation: The indicator simply multiplies the volume of each bar (volume) by its closing price (close).
- Display: The result is plotted as a line in a separate pane below the main price chart. The height of the line at each point represents the product of the volume and the closing price at that time.
- Interpretation:
- Spikes in Volume * Price: Indicate significant monetary activity. This can signal strong interest in the asset at that price level.
- Low Volume * Price: Suggests a lack of interest or conviction.
- Divergences: If volume * price increases while the price decreases (or vice versa), it may signal a weakening of the current trend.
How to Use:
1. Identify Areas of Interest: Look for significant spikes in the volume * price chart. These areas may coincide with key support or resistance levels.
2. Confirm Trends: A price movement upwards (or downwards) accompanied by an increase in volume * price strengthens the validity of that trend.
3. Spot Divergences: Pay attention to situations where the volume * price does not confirm the price movement. This could indicate a potential reversal.
4. Combine with Other Indicators: Use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools (moving averages, RSI, MACD, etc.) for a more comprehensive view.
Potential Applications:
- Breakout Confirmation: A breakout of a price level (support or resistance) accompanied by increased volume * price is a stronger signal than a breakout with low volume.
- Identifying High Activity Zones: This indicator can help pinpoint price levels where a lot of trading has occurred, potentially indicating future support/resistance areas.
- Analyzing Market Participation: High volume * price suggests strong participation, while low volume * price indicates a lack of interest.
- Detecting Divergences: Divergences between volume * price and price can signal potential trend reversals.
- Momentum Trading: Combined with other momentum indicators, it can help identify entry and exit points.
Important Notes:
- This indicator is based on the closing price. It does not take into account the highs and lows of each bar.
- Volume * price is an analysis tool, not a standalone trading system. It should be used in conjunction with other indicators and strategies.
- The interpretation of volume * price may vary depending on the market and the time frame being analyzed.
