By converting raw Cumulative Volume Delta into a responsive oscillator, it reveals hidden accumulation and distribution phases that traditional volume bars completely miss.

How to Read VolumeFlow

The indicator oscillates around a baseline, separating bullish and bearish control:

  • Above 0 Line (Green Waves): Dominant aggressive buying pressure.

    • Bright Green: Fast volume expansion; strong bullish momentum.
    • Dark Green: Buying pressure is cooling off.
  • Below 0 Line (Magenta Waves): Dominant aggressive selling pressure.

    • Bright Magenta: Fast volume expansion; strong bearish momentum.
    • Dark Magenta: Selling pressure is cooling off.
