Updated Swing Point PnL Pressure
This indicator visualizes the cumulative profit potential of bulls and bears based on recent swing highs and lows — offering a unique lens into trend maturity, sentiment imbalance, and exhaustion risk.
🟢 Bull PnL rises as price moves above prior swing lows — reflecting unrealized gains for long positions
🔴 Bear PnL rises as price drops below prior swing highs — capturing short-side profitability
Over time, these curves diverge during strong trends, revealing which side is in control. But when they converge, it often signals that the dominant side is losing steam — a potential turning point where profit-taking, traps, or reversals may emerge.
This tool doesn’t predict tops or bottoms — it tracks the emotional and financial pressure building on each side of the market. Use it to:
Spot trend exhaustion before price confirms it
Identify profit parity zones where sentiment may flip
Time accumulation or distribution phases with greater confidence
Whether you’re swing trading or analyzing macro structure, this indicator helps you see what price alone can’t: who’s winning, who’s trapped, and who’s about to give up.
