HTF Volume Spike & Imbalance Projection

HTF Volume Spike & Imbalance Projection opens a higher timeframe candle up and shows what happened inside it. Two blocks are projected beside live price: the prior (ghost) candle and the forming one, each combining the candle itself, a scatter of bubbles marking lower timeframe volume spikes, and a histogram of how volume distributed across the candle's range. When three or more same-direction spikes stack at one price, that level is boxed as a stacked imbalance.

How to Trade the HTF Volume Spike & Imbalance Projection?

• Bubble size and color: larger bubbles mean stronger volume events; green leans buying pressure, red selling.
• Stacked imbalance boxes: repeated one-sided participation at a price. Watch for support (bullish) or resistance (bearish) on the retest.
• Volume profile: high-volume areas mark accepted value that price often revisits for targets or reversion trades.
• Sparse bubbles: a move with little spike activity carries weak participation and gives ground back more easily.

Ghost-bar zones are the natural starting point: an imbalance left in the completed candle, retested during the current one, confirmed on the chart timeframe before entry. The same bubbles can print on your live candles too, a useful bridge to the rest of the volume and order flow tools.
