SNIPERS CANDLESSNIPERS CANDLES
SNIPERS CANDLES is an enhanced PVSRA volume analysis indicator that classifies candles according to relative trading activity while introducing a configurable Volume Participation Baseline for additional market participation analysis.
The indicator combines traditional PVSRA candle classification with an independent participation threshold, allowing traders to compare current trading activity against both recent market behaviour and configurable average volume levels within a single visual tool.
How the Indicator Works
The indicator analyses volume using the PVSRA methodology and classifies each candle into one of three participation levels.
Normal Volume
Represents standard market participation.
150% Volume
Highlights candles where volume exceeds approximately 150% of the recent average, indicating increasing market participation.
200% Volume (Vector Candle)
Highlights candles where volume exceeds approximately 200% of the recent average or produces exceptional volume relative to recent price range activity, identifying significant market participation.
Bullish and bearish candles are colour coded independently to preserve directional context.
Volume Participation Baseline
In addition to standard PVSRA candle classification, SNIPERS CANDLES includes a configurable Volume Participation Baseline.
The Participation Baseline calculates an average volume over a user-defined lookback period and applies an optional multiplier to create a dynamic participation threshold.
This allows traders to compare current trading activity against configurable average participation levels rather than relying solely on fixed PVSRA classifications.
The Participation Baseline is designed to complement the original PVSRA methodology by providing additional context when market participation transitions between below-average and above-average volume.
Instrument Override
For cryptocurrency markets, the indicator can automatically retrieve volume data from the equivalent Binance Perpetual Futures contract when available.
Where an equivalent perpetual contract is unavailable, the indicator automatically falls back to the chart's native volume data.
A manual symbol override is also included for users who wish to specify an alternative volume source.

Indicator
Volume Flow MatrixVolume Flow Matrix is a relative volume histogram that helps identify how strong or weak current market participation is compared to recent volume activity.
The indicator measures current volume against a fixed 300-bar volume baseline. Instead of showing raw volume only, it converts volume into a relative reading. This makes it easier to see whether the current candle is trading below average volume, around normal activity, with increased participation, or at an unusually high volume level.
On historical candles, the calculation uses completed candle volume. On the live candle, the indicator uses realtime volume projection. This means the current candle’s volume is estimated based on how much time has passed in the candle. As a result, the histogram can react during the candle instead of only after the candle closes.
The histogram is divided into five volume conditions:
Dry Volume shows candles with weak participation. These bars appear when relative volume is below 0.75. Dry volume can be useful for spotting quiet market phases, low-interest candles, or areas where price is moving without strong volume support.
Default Volume represents normal volume conditions. These candles do not meet the requirements for dry, directional, or extreme volume. Default volume helps separate ordinary market activity from more important volume events.
Bull Volume appears when relative volume is elevated and the candle also shows bullish pressure. For a candle to qualify as Bull Volume, relative volume must be at least 1.55, the candle must close above its open, and the close must be positioned in the upper part of the candle range. This can help highlight candles where stronger participation supports upward pressure.
Bear Volume appears when relative volume is elevated and the candle shows bearish pressure. For a candle to qualify as Bear Volume, relative volume must be at least 1.55, the candle must close below its open, and the close must be positioned in the lower part of the candle range. This can help highlight candles where stronger participation supports downward pressure.
Extreme Volume marks unusually high relative volume at or above 2.30. These candles show that volume is significantly above the recent baseline. Extreme Volume does not automatically mean bullish or bearish continuation. It should be read together with price location, candle structure, support and resistance, liquidity zones, or the broader market context.
Each candle is assigned to only one volume condition. The script checks the conditions in a fixed order so the histogram remains clean and does not stack multiple volume types on the same bar.
How to use it:
Use Dry Volume to identify low-participation areas where price movement may be less reliable.
Use Bull Volume and Bear Volume to confirm whether directional candles are supported by stronger participation.
Use Extreme Volume to mark important high-activity candles that may appear near breakouts, liquidity grabs, absorption areas, reversals, or strong continuation moves.
Use Default Volume as the neutral background state between low-volume and high-volume conditions.
Volume Flow Matrix does not provide trade entries or exits by itself. It is designed to support analysis by making volume behavior easier to read. The strongest use case is combining it with price action, market structure, key levels, liquidity, trend context, or any existing trading plan.

Crypto Breadth Engine [alex975]
A normalized crypto market breadth indicator with a customizable 40 coin input panel — revealing whether rallies are broad and healthy across major coins and altcoins or led by only a few.
📊 Overview
The Crypto Breadth Engine measures the real participation strength of the crypto market by analyzing the direction of the 40 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
⚙️ How It Works
Unlike standard breadth tools that only count assets above a moving average, this indicator measures actual price direction:
+1 if a coin closes higher, –1 if lower, 0 if unchanged.
The total forms a Breadth Line, statistically normalized using standard deviation to maintain consistent readings across timeframes and volatility conditions.
🧩 Dynamic Input Mask
All 40 cryptocurrencies are fully editable via the input panel, allowing users to easily replace or customize the basket (Top 40, Layer-1s, DeFi, Meme Coins, AI Tokens, etc.) without touching the code.
This flexibility keeps the indicator aligned with the evolving crypto market.
🧭 Trend Bias
The indicator classifies market structure as Bullish, Neutral, or Bearish, based on how the Breadth Line aligns with its moving averages (10, 20, 50).
💡 Dashboard
A compact on-chart table displays in real time:
• Positive and negative coins
• Participation percentage
• Current trend bias
🔍 Interpretation
• Rising breadth → broad, healthy market expansion
• Falling breadth → narrowing participation and structural weakness
Ideal for TOTAL, TOTAL3, or custom crypto baskets on 1D,1W.

📊 Panoramica
Il Crypto Breadth Engine misura la partecipazione reale del mercato crypto, analizzando la direzione delle 40 principali criptovalute per capitalizzazione.
Non si limita a contare quante coin sono sopra una media mobile, ma calcola la variazione effettiva del prezzo:
+1 se sale, –1 se scende, 0 se invariato.
La somma genera una Breadth Line normalizzata statisticamente, garantendo letture coerenti su diversi timeframe e fasi di volatilità.
🧩 Mascherina dinamica
L’indicatore include una mascherina d’input interattiva che consente di modificare o sostituire liberamente i 40 ticker analizzati (Top 40, Layer-1, DeFi, Meme Coin, ecc.) senza intervenire nel codice.
Questo lo rende sempre aggiornato e adattabile all’evoluzione del mercato crypto.
⚙️ Funzionamento e Trend Bias
Classifica automaticamente il mercato come Bullish, Neutral o Bearish in base alla relazione tra la breadth e le medie mobili (10, 20, 50 periodi).
💡 Dashboard
Una tabella compatta mostra in tempo reale:
• Numero di coin positive e negative
• Percentuale di partecipazione
• Stato attuale del trend
🔍 Interpretazione
• Breadth in crescita → mercato ampio e trend sano
• Breadth in calo → partecipazione ridotta e concentrazione su pochi asset
Ideale per analizzare TOTAL, TOTAL3 o panieri personalizzati di crypto.
Funziona su timeframe 1D, 4H, 1W.
