Candle Patterns with Volume Validation

Hey Guys !

█ This indicator shows validated Hammer and Shooting Star candle patterns based on volume.
This indicator identifies Hammer and Shooting Star patterns and validates them using volume analysis.
Hammer and Shooting Star patterns are candlestick patterns that signal potential reversals in the market.

█ Usages:
A hammer is formed when in a session, the price has fallen, only to reverse and recover to close back near the opening price. This is a sign of strength with the selling having been absorbed in sufficient strength for the buyers to overwhelm the sellers, allowing the market to recover. The hammer is so called as it is ‘hammering out a bottom’, and just like the shooting star, is immensely powerful when combined with Volume Price Analysis (VPA).

The shooting star is a bearish reversal pattern that appears at the top of uptrends. It signifies that prices have peaked and a downward reversal is likely. The presence of high volume strengthens this signal, indicating that the insiders are offloading their positions.

When combined with volume analysis, these patterns become powerful signals. The volume provides context to the price action, helping traders confirm the validity of the pattern. For example, a hammer with high volume suggests strong buying interest, whereas a shooting star with high volume indicates strong selling pressure.
