Smart Money Volume Matrix [Ata]
The Smart Money Volume Matrix (SMV Matrix) is an advanced volume-spread analysis (VSA) dashboard and charting tool designed to identify significant market anomalies by analyzing the relationship between price extremes and volume flow.
Unlike traditional indicators that rely solely on moving averages or oscillators, this tool performs a "Snapshot Analysis" of a defined lookback period (default: 100 bars) to rank price action based on Order Flow Dominance. It isolates the Top 10 Highest and Lowest Close prices and scrutinizes the volume behind them to categorize market sentiment into four distinct phases: Distribution, No Demand, Absorption, and Exhaustion.
Core Logic & Methodology
The script operates on a Zero-Lag Snapshot Engine. It does not print historical signals bar-by-bar; instead, it evaluates the current market structure relative to the recent history (Lookback Period).
1. Ranking Engine: The script scans the lookback period to find the Top 10 Highest Closes and Top 10 Lowest Closes.
2. Volume Classification: For each ranked bar, it calculates the "Intrabar Buy/Sell Volume" (or approximates it using candle geometry if Intrabar data is unavailable).
3. Dominance Detection: It compares Buying Volume vs. Selling Volume to determine who is in control at critical price levels.
Signal Classifications (VSA Logic)
The indicator generates labels on the chart and updates the dashboard table based on the following logic:
1. At Price Tops (Resistance Areas):
- Distribution (Supply): High Price + High Total Volume + Sellers Dominant.
Interpretation: Indicates heavy institutional selling into rising prices. Often precedes a reversal.
- Buy Climax: High Price + High Total Volume + Buyers Dominant.
Interpretation: Extreme buying frenzy. While bullish, it often marks a "trap" or temporary top due to exhaustion.
- No Demand: High Price + Low Volume.
Interpretation: Prices drifted higher but lack institutional participation. A sign of weakness.
2. At Price Bottoms (Support Areas):
- Absorption: Low Price + High Total Volume + Buyers Dominant.
Interpretation: Institutional money is absorbing selling pressure (passive buying). A strong sign of accumulation.
- Panic Sell: Low Price + High Total Volume + Sellers Dominant.
Interpretation: Extreme fear. High volume at lows typically indicates capitulation and potential hands-changing.
- Exhaustion: Low Price + Low Volume.
Interpretation: Selling pressure has dried up. The market may float upward due to lack of sellers.
Key Features
- Dashboard Matrix Table:
Displays the exact Close Price, Buy/Sell Volume, and Market State (Group) for the Top 10 ranking bars.
Smart Footer: Automatically detects the active "Resistance Zone" (derived from G1 Distribution levels) and "Support Zone" (derived from G3 Absorption levels) and reports the current price status relative to these zones (e.g., "Testing Resistance", "Breakout", "At Support").
- Smart Zones (Auto S/R):
Automatically draws Support and Resistance boxes extending into the future based on the most significant volume clusters found in the rankings. Includes logic to detect "Flips" (e.g., when Support breaks, it is labeled as a flip to Resistance).
- Average Trend Channels:
Calculates a Linear Regression trend line based specifically on the coordinates of the Top 10 Highs and Top 10 Lows, providing a "Best Fit" channel for the current market structure.
- Visual Clarity:
Labels utilize a "Smart Stacking" algorithm to prevent overlap on the chart. Guide lines connect labels to their respective candles for precise identification.
Settings & Configuration
- Matrix Settings: Lookback Period (default 100 bars) and Top Rank Count.
- Volume Engine: Choose between "Intrabar (Precise)" for accurate order flow or "Geometry (Approx)" for standard volume estimation.
- Visuals: Toggle Table, Labels, Lines, Zones, and Trend Lines. Adjust transparency and font sizes.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON SNAPSHOT LOGIC
This indicator is designed as a Real-Time Dashboard. It continuously updates the "Top 10" list as new candles form. Therefore, a label that appears on a candle may disappear if that candle falls out of the Top 10 ranking or leaves the lookback window. This is intended behavior to ensure the chart always reflects the current most critical levels, rather than a historical record of past signals. It is best used for live market analysis rather than historical back testing.
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only. Volume analysis is subjective and should be used in conjunction with other methods of technical analysis.
