How the Indicator Works

Zone Colors
  • 🟣 Purple Zones
    Indicate areas where the path of least resistance is to the downside (bearish pressure).

  • 🟢 Green Zones
    Highlight areas where the path of least resistance is to the upside (bullish pressure).

These zones help identify directional bias and potential continuation areas.
