Overview:Volume Imbalance occurs when there's a noticeable gap between the bodies of two consecutive candlesticks, with no overlap between them. While the wicks of the candles might intersect, the candle bodies remain entirely separate. This phenomenon often signifies that the algorithm driving market activity did not evenly distribute prices between these two levels, leaving behind a small Volume Imbalance (VI).
- A Bullish Volume Imbalance forms when the body of a green candlestick gaps above the previous candle's body, with no overlap, indicating strong upward momentum and insufficient sell-side liquidity.
- A Bearish Volume Imbalance forms when the body of a red candlestick gaps below the previous candle's body, with no overlap, signaling intense downward pressure and a lack of buy-side liquidity.
This indicator can automatically identify volume imbalances by scanning candlestick patterns and detecting gaps between consecutive candle bodies. These volume imbalances act as price magnets, often attracting the market back to fill the gap before resuming its original direction. Recognizing and leveraging these gaps can be a powerful tool in technical analysis for predicting price movements.
