Volume Shelf Breakout Watcher
This indicator detects potential breakout opportunities from high-volume price shelves (HVNs) using a custom volume profile engine. It scans the past 100 bars (adjustable) to identify price ranges with heavy volume accumulation, then monitors for a breakout when price is near the top of that range.
To increase accuracy, it optionally confirms momentum using:
✅ MACD bullish crossover
✅ RSI > 55
✅ Volume spike above 20-bar average
When all enabled conditions are met, the indicator highlights the bar with a green label and background shading, and can trigger alerts for trade setups.
Use this indicator to:
Identify volume-based consolidation zones
Anticipate price surges through low-volume areas ("volume gaps")
Catch breakouts with momentum confirmation
Inputs:
Volume Profile Range (bars)
HVN Sensitivity (top % of volume)
MACD confirmation toggle
RSI level toggle
Volume spike toggle
Ideal for:
Traders looking to enter early on momentum moves as price escapes compression zones into areas of less resistance.
