DESCRIPTION (Copy below for TradingView publication)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dynamic Support Resistance Zones indicator identifies key price levels where potential reversals may occur by analyzing candlestick behavior and volume dynamics together.
▶ CONCEPT AND METHODOLOGY
This indicator detects support and resistance levels through a specific combination of three market conditions occurring simultaneously:
1. Candlestick Body Expansion: The current candle's body (distance between open and close) must be larger than the previous candle's body. This signals increased price commitment from market participants.
2. Direction Reversal: The current candle must close in the opposite direction of the previous candle. A bullish candle following a bearish candle suggests potential support formation, while a bearish candle following a bullish candle suggests potential resistance formation.
3. Volume Contraction: The current candle must have lower volume than the previous candle. This condition filters out high-volume breakout moves and focuses on exhaustion patterns where price reverses on decreasing participation.
When all three conditions align, the indicator marks the opening price of the previous candle as a significant level.
▶ HOW LEVELS ARE CLASSIFIED
Support Zones (Green Lines): Form when a bullish reversal candle appears with an expanded body on declining volume. These represent areas where buying pressure overcame selling pressure.
Resistance Zones (Red Lines): Form when a bearish reversal candle appears with an expanded body on declining volume. These represent areas where selling pressure overcame buying pressure.
▶ DYNAMIC LEVEL MANAGEMENT
The indicator continuously monitors each level and updates its status:
- Active Levels (Solid Lines): Levels that have not been broken by a closing price. These extend forward automatically as new bars form.
- Broken Levels (Dashed Lines): When price closes beyond a level, it converts to a dashed line. These broken levels remain visible for potential retest scenarios.
- Level Removal: Broken support levels are removed if price closes back above them. Broken resistance levels are removed if price closes back below them. This keeps the chart clean and focused on relevant levels.
▶ TRADING APPLICATIONS
Reversal Trading: Look for price approaching active support or resistance levels for potential bounce trades.
Breakout Confirmation: When a solid level converts to dashed, it confirms a breakout. The dashed level then becomes a potential retest zone.
Trend Analysis: Multiple support levels stacking below price suggests bullish structure. Multiple resistance levels above price suggests bearish structure.
Risk Management: Active levels provide logical areas for stop-loss placement just beyond the identified zones.
▶ WHY THIS COMBINATION WORKS
The three-filter approach (body expansion + direction change + volume decline) identifies exhaustion reversals rather than continuation patterns. Large body candles show conviction, direction change shows momentum shift, and lower volume suggests the prior move is losing steam rather than breaking out with strength.
▶ SETTINGS
This indicator uses fixed detection logic with no adjustable parameters to maintain consistency. The colors are preset: green for support zones and red for resistance zones.
▶ BEST PRACTICES
- Works on all timeframes but higher timeframes typically produce more reliable levels
- Combine with trend analysis for directional bias
- Not all levels will hold; use proper risk management
- More effective in ranging or mean-reverting conditions than strong trending markets
