Liquidation Bubbles [OmegaTools]🔴🟢 Liquidation Bubbles — Advanced Volume & Price Stress Detector Liquidation Bubbles is a professional-grade analytical tool designed to identify forced positioning events, stop-runs, and liquidation clusters by combining price displacement and volume imbalance into a single, statistically normalized framework. This indicator is not a repainting signal tool and not a simple volume spike detector. It is a contextual market stress mapper, built to highlight areas where one-sided positioning becomes unstable and the probability of forced order execution (liquidations, stops, margin calls) materially increases. --- ## 🔬 Core Concept Market liquidations do not occur randomly. They emerge when price deviates aggressively from its volume-weighted equilibrium while volume itself becomes abnormal. Liquidation Bubbles detects exactly this condition by: * Estimating a **dynamic equilibrium price** using an *inverted volume-weighted moving average* * Measuring **directional price stress** relative to that equilibrium * Measuring **volume stress** relative to its own adaptive baseline * Normalizing both into **Z-score–like metrics** * Highlighting only **statistically extreme, asymmetric events** The result is a clear visual map of stress points where market participants are most vulnerable. --- ⚙️ Methodology (How It Works) 1️⃣ Advanced Inverted VWMA (Equilibrium Engine) The script uses a custom Advanced VWMA, where: * High volume bars receive less weight * Low volume bars receive more weight This produces a **robust equilibrium level**, resistant to manipulation and volume bursts. This equilibrium is used for **both price and volume normalization**, creating a consistent statistical framework. --- 2️⃣ Price Stress (Directional) Price stress is calculated as: * The **maximum deviation** between high/low and equilibrium * Directionally signed (upside vs downside) * Normalized by its own historical volatility This allows the script to distinguish: * Aggressive upside exhaustion * Aggressive downside capitulation --- 3️⃣ Volume Stress Volume stress is measured as: * Deviation from volume equilibrium * Normalized by historical volume dispersion This filters out: * Normal high-volume sessions * Illiquid noise And isolates abnormal participation imbalance. --- 4️⃣ Liquidation Logic A liquidation event is flagged when: * Both price stress and volume stress exceed adaptive thresholds * The imbalance is directional and statistically extreme Optional Combined Score Mode allows aggregation of price & volume stress into a single composite metric for smoother signals. --- 🔵 Bubble System (Signal Hierarchy) The indicator plots **two tiers of bubbles**: 🟢🔴 Small Bubbles * Early warning stress points * Localized stop-runs * Micro-liquidations * Often precede reactions or short-term reversals 🟢🔴 Big Bubbles * Full liquidation clusters * Forced unwinds * High probability exhaustion zones * Frequently align with: * Intraday extremes * Range boundaries * Reversal pivots * Volatility expansions Bubble color: * **Green** → Downside liquidation (sell-side exhaustion) * **Red** → Upside liquidation (buy-side exhaustion) Bubble placement is **ATR-adjusted**, ensuring visual clarity without overlapping price. --- 🔄 Cross-Market Volume Analysis The script allows optional **external volume sourcing**, enabling: * Futures volume applied to CFDs * Index volume applied to ETFs * Spot volume applied to derivatives This is critical when: * Your traded instrument has unreliable volume * You want **institutional-grade confirmation** --- 🧠 How to Use Liquidation Bubbles This indicator is **not meant to be traded alone**. Best use cases: * 🔹 Confluence with support & resistance * 🔹 Contextual confirmation for reversals * 🔹 Identifying fake breakouts * 🔹 Liquidity sweep detection * 🔹 Risk management (avoid entering into liquidation zones) Ideal for: * Futures * Indices * Crypto * High-liquidity FX pairs * Intraday & swing trading --- 🎯 Who This Tool Is For Liquidation Bubbles is designed for: * Advanced discretionary traders * Order-flow & liquidity-based traders * Macro & index traders * Professionals seeking **context**, not signals If you want **where the market is fragile**, not just where price moved — this tool was built for you. --- 📌 Key Characteristics ✔ Non-repainting ✔ Statistically normalized ✔ Adaptive to volatility ✔ Works on all timeframes ✔ Futures & crypto ready ✔ No lagging indicators ✔ No moving average crosses --- Liquidation Bubbles does not predict the future. It shows you where the market is most likely to break. — OmegaTools
