Shows who has more influence on the price within a specific candle and helps understand the current balance of power between buyers and sellers:

* The color of the circle shows who is dominating at the moment: <mark style="color:green;">**green circle**</mark>🟢 - buyers' pressure, <mark style="color:red;">**red circle**</mark>🔴 - sellers' pressure
* **Circle size** shows the strength of the pressure: small circle - weak pressure, large circle - strong pressure
* Use for additional confirmation when opening trades - when the dominant side changes, a trend reversal is possible
* As long as there is pressure in the direction of the trade - it's early to take profit; when pressure from the opposite side appears, you should either take profit or reduce risks.

## Pump signal

Analyzes volumes and volatility and helps detect zones where large players are accumulating their market positions, which may indicate a possible impulsive rise:

* Shows the moment **of possible growth**
* Helps to take profit on a trade in time and avoid false breakouts
* Shows how large market participants act, helping to trade more consciously

## Dump signal

Analyzes volumes and volatility, helps detect zones where large market participants intentionally create false moves to confuse small traders and shake out "weak hands":

* Is a strong sell signal - opening long positions is definitely not worth it, better to wait it out <mark style="color:red;">**manipulations**</mark>, until the market calms down
* May indicate an upcoming <mark style="color:red;">**price dump**</mark> - you can open short trades if there are additional confirmations
* Helps avoid trading in conditions of false breakouts or sharp <mark style="color:red;">**"price washouts"**</mark>

## Divergences

This is one of the strongest technical analysis signals - it indicates the fading of a trend and a possible reversal in advance by analyzing divergences between price and the readings of 11 oscillators:

* **The number in the circle** shows how many divergences the indicator found - the more divergences, the stronger the signal of trend fading
* **Circle color** shows the sentiment: <mark style="color:green;">**green color**</mark> - bullish divergences, <mark style="color:red;">**red color**</mark> - bearish divergences
* If the circle **is filled** - divergences are confirmed by money flow - the "king of divergences" - this is a strong signal
* Helps to see in advance when a trend loses strength and predict a reversal
* Helps to take profit in time and open a trade in the right direction
* Works best in a sideways market and along the trend (it is noisy against the trend)
