Volume HeatMap Divergence [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Volume HeatMap Divergence is a smart volume visualization tool that overlays normalized volume data directly on the chart. Using a color heatmap from aqua to red, it transforms raw volume into an intuitive scale — highlighting areas of weak to intense market participation. Additionally, it detects volume-based divergences from price to signal potential reversals or exhaustion zones. Combined with clear visual labeling, this tool empowers traders with actionable volume insights.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Normalized Volume Heatmap : Volume is normalized to a 0–100% scale and visually represented as candles below the chart.
float vol = volume / ta.percentile_nearest_rank(volume, 1000, 100) * 100
Bar Coloring : Price candles are dynamically colored based on volume intensity.
Volume Divergence Logic :
Bullish Divergence : Price forms a lower low, but volume forms a higher low.
Bearish Divergence : Price forms a higher high, but volume forms a lower high.
Dynamic Detection Range : Customizable range ensures divergence signals are meaningful and not random.
Volume Labels : Additional info on divergence bars shows both the actual volume and its normalized % score.
🔵 FEATURES
Volume Heatmap Plot : Normalized volume values colored using a smooth gradient from aqua (low) to red (high).
Price Bar Coloring : Candlesticks on the main chart adopt the same heatmap color based on volume.
Divergence Detection :
Bullish divergence with label and low marker
Bearish divergence with label and high marker
Dual Divergence Labels :
On the volume plot : Direction (Bull/Bear), raw volume, and normalized %
On the price chart : Shape labels showing "Bull" or "Bear" at local highs/lows
Custom Inputs :
Divergence range (min & max), pivot detection distance (left/right)
Toggle to show/hide divergence labels, volume, and % text
Clear Bull/Bear Coloring : Fully customizable label and line colors for both bullish and bearish signals.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the indicator as an overlay to monitor real-time volume strength using the heatmap color.
Watch for divergence markers:
Bullish divergence: Candle shows higher volume while price makes a new low
Bearish divergence: Candle shows lower volume while price makes a new high
Use the volume info labels to verify the context of divergence:
Actual volume at divergence candle
Normalized % of that volume compared to past 1000 bars
Adjust pivot sensitivity using "Pivot Left" and "Pivot Right" to tune signal frequency and lag with a right pivot length.
Use divergence zones as early warnings for potential reversals or trend shifts.
Disable or customize labels in settings depending on your charting preferences.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volume HeatMap Divergence merges heatmap-style volume visualization with intelligent divergence detection — giving traders a clean yet powerful edge. By revealing hidden disconnections between price and participation, it helps users spot exhaustion moves or hidden accumulation zones before the market reacts. Whether you’re a scalper, swing trader, or intraday strategist, this tool offers real-time clarity on who’s in control behind the candles.
