Sideways Zone Breakout

Sideways Zone Breakout – Advanced Consolidation Breakout Indicator
Created by: Syed Aman Ali

The market spends most of its time moving sideways, trapping traders with false signals and unpredictable whipsaws. This indicator is designed to identify those consolidation phases with precision and highlight confirmed breakout moments where strong momentum is most likely to follow.

🔍 What This Indicator Does

This tool automatically scans recent price action and detects tight sideways zones using a volatility-based measurement. Whenever the market enters a compression phase, the indicator marks the exact upper and lower boundaries of the zone.

Once price closes beyond this range, the indicator instantly triggers a BUY or SELL breakout signal — clean, simple, and highly effective.

🎯 Why This Works

Sideways phases often represent institutional accumulation or distribution. When a breakout occurs, it usually leads to a powerful expansion move. This indicator is specifically built to catch those high-probability moments.

Core logic:

Detects the highest and lowest price within a chosen lookback period

Measures range tightness relative to price

Plots a visual zone only when the market is truly sideways

Generates Buy signals on breakout above the zone

Generates Sell signals on breakdown below the zone

No repainting.
No complex settings.
Pure breakout confirmation based on candle close.
