Update from 24-Jan-2021,
The script now also plots high and low of heavy volume candle which acts as support and / or resistance.
high / low values are plotted for next 7 calendar days (max 5 working days, without holidays) which can be changed to your wish.
Conventions:
navy color indicates support, maroon indicates resistance
