The Relative Volume Bollinger Band % indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders seeking insights into volume, Bollinger band and relative strength dynamics. This indicator assesses the deviation of a security's trading volume relative to the Bollinger band % indicator and the RSI moving average. Together, these shed light on potential zones of interests where market shifts have a high probability of occurring.

Key Features:

Period: Tailor the indicator's sensitivity by adjusting the period of the smooth moving average and/or the period of the Bollinger band.

How it Works:

Moving Average Calculation: The script computes the simple moving average (SMA) of the relative strength over a defined period. When the higher SMA (orange line) is in the top grey zone, the security is in a zone where it has a high probability of becoming bullish. When the higher SMA is in the lower grey zone, the security is in a zone where it has a high probability of becoming bearish.
-Bollinger Band %: The script also computes the BB% which is primarily used to confirm overbought and oversold areas. When overbought, it turns white and remains white until the overbuying pressure is released indicating that the security is about to become bearish. The script indicates a bearish reversal when the BB% and RVOL bars are both red or when there are no more yellow RVOL bars, if present. When the BB% is<0 and rising, it will also appear white with yellow RVOL bars above. This is a good indication that bulls are beginning to enter buying positions. Confirmation here is indicated when the yellow RVOL bars change to green.

Relative Volume: The indicator then also normalizes the difference volume to indicate areas of high and low volatility. This shows where higher than normal volumes are being traded and can be used as a good indication of when to enter or exit a trade when the above criterions are met.

Visual Representation: The result is visually represented on the chart using columns. Bright green columns signify bullish relative volume values that are much greater than normal. Green columns signify bullish relative volume values that are significant. Red columns represent bearish values that are significant. Blue columns on the BB% indicator represent significant bullish buying in overbought areas. Red columns on the BB% indicator that are < 0 represent a bearish trend that is in an oversold area. This is there to prevent early entry into the market.

Enhancements:
Areas of Interest: Optionally, Areas of interest are represented by red, yellow and green circles on the higher SMA line, aiding in the identification of significant deviations.
