Volume-Price Shift Box (Lite Version)

Description

This indicator is a clean and intuitive visual tool designed to help traders quickly assess the current balance of bullish and bearish forces in the market.
It combines volume, price movement, VWAP, and OBV dynamics into a compact on-chart table that updates in real time.

This version focuses on the core logic and visualization of momentum and volume shifts, making it ideal for traders who want actionable insight without complex configuration.

How It Works

The script measures the combined strength of multiple market components:

• VWAP trend indicates price bias relative to fair value.
  
• OBV (On-Balance Volume) tracks volume flow to confirm or contradict price movement.
  
• Volume ratio compares current volume to its recent average.
  
• Momentum evaluates directional price movement over a configurable lookback period.
  
• Accumulation / Distribution (A/D) Line estimates buying or selling pressure within each candle:
  ↑ — A/D is rising (buying pressure is increasing)
  ↑↑ — A/D is rising faster than before (acceleration of buying)
  ↓ — A/D is falling (selling pressure is increasing)
  ↓↓ — A/D is falling faster than before (acceleration of selling)
  

Each of these components contributes to an overall shift score.
Depending on this score, the box displays:
🟢 Bullish Shift — strong upward alignment
🔴 Bearish Shift — downward alignment
⚪ Neutral — mixed or indecisive conditions
