How It Works
The indicator calculates the average of the high and low for each candlestick, plotting:· A midpoint dot for the current candle
· Another for the previous candle
These colored dots are placed directly on the chart and serve as a visual representation of market pressure.
Interpretation:
· Midpoint below the candle body → Buying pressure (bullish sentiment)· Midpoint above the candle body → Selling pressure (bearish sentiment)
Uptrend Example
On the 1-hour chart of GBP/CAD, when a red midpoint dot appears below the candle body, it signals that price action has remained mostly above the midpoint—a clear sign of bullish momentum and a potential buy entry zone.Visual cue: Midpoint below the candle = Strong buyer presence
Downtrend Example
In the 1-minute chart of the Dow Jones Index (DJI), the midpoint dot appears above the candle body, showing that the price is concentrated in the lower half. This implies selling dominance and could signal a bearish reversal or continuation.Visual cue: Midpoint above the candle = Growing seller strength
