Peak Activity Range
By LuxAlgoJun 1, 2026
Peak Activity Range is an indicator on Vela, our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.
Peak Activity Range turns confirmed volume spikes into tradeable structure. When a volume pivot confirms, the high and low of the candle that produced it become a range, mapped with an internal volume profile, a solid midpoint line, and a dashed point of control marking the heaviest high-volume node inside. Each range then acts as a support and resistance zone with context attached: not just where price reacted, but where participation ran unusually strong.
How to Trade the Peak Activity Range?
- Breakout mode: a bullish triangle prints on a close above the range high, a bearish one on a close below the range low: momentum escaping a high-volume zone.
- Retest mode: signals wait for confirmation: a candle opening above the range high and closing back below it prints the bullish triangle, and a candle opening below the range low and closing back above it prints the bearish one.
- Solid midpoint line: the average of the spike candle's range; crossing it resets the signal state so a new setup can arm.
- Dashed POC: the most-traded price inside the range, a magnet and reaction level in its own right.
The state-based logic keeps signals honest: after one fires, price must return to the midpoint before another can trigger in the same direction, filtering chop around the boundaries.
