Pressure Reversal Engine [JOAT]Pressure Reversal Engine
Introduction
Pressure Reversal Engine is an open-source pressure and absorption indicator. It estimates buy and sell participation from candle location, body behavior, direction, and volume, then looks for cases where aggressive participation fails to produce continuation.
The script is designed for traders who want to identify absorption, pressure mismatch, reclaim/reject behavior, and stacked imbalance areas without relying on true bid/ask data.
Core Concepts
1. Estimated Buy/Sell Pressure
The pressure model uses close position within the candle, candle body, direction, and volume. This creates a deterministic approximation that works on symbols where true bid/ask volume is not available.
2. Absorption Detection
Absorption is identified when strong estimated pressure fails to move price in the expected direction. Demand absorption and supply absorption are tracked separately.
3. Pressure Profile
A rolling profile divides the recent price range into rows and estimates where buy and sell pressure accumulated. The profile highlights skew, POC, value area, and imbalance zones.
4. Reclaim and Reject Logic
Swing references help identify whether price reclaimed a prior level or rejected from it. These events can combine with pressure mismatch to create long or short setup states.
5. Stacked Pressure Clusters
Consecutive bars with strong pressure and volume expansion create cluster boxes. These show areas where participation repeatedly appeared.
Features
Buy/sell pressure estimation: Uses candle anatomy and volume to approximate directional participation.
Absorption states: Detects when demand or supply fails to follow through.
Rolling pressure profile: Displays POC, value area, and pressure skew.
Stacked pressure boxes: Highlights repeated pressure bursts over several bars.
EMA regime filter: Optional trend filter for long and short setups.
Entry and exit state zones: Shows confirmed pressure reversal and risk-off states.
ATR stop/target rails: Uses volatility-adjusted projections for setup review.
Pressure candle coloring: Bars can reflect active pressure state.
Dashboard: Shows pressure state, profile skew, POC, value area, absorption, regime, volume, and stack status.
Alerts: Long setup, short setup, long exit, short exit, demand absorption, and supply absorption.

How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Read the pressure state
Use the dashboard to see whether bid pressure, ask pressure, absorption, or idle conditions dominate.
Step 2: Watch for failed participation
The strongest reversal information appears when pressure is high but price fails to continue in that pressure direction.
Step 3: Use value area and POC as context
Reversals near the pressure POC or value area edge can have different meaning than signals in empty areas.
Indicator Limitations
Pressure is estimated from candle and volume data; it is not true exchange order flow.
Rolling profiles are approximations and depend on lookback and row settings.
Signals can be delayed by confirmed-bar logic.
Markets with poor volume data can reduce profile usefulness.
Originality Statement
Pressure Reversal Engine is original in the way it combines candle-derived pressure, rolling pressure profile rows, absorption logic, reclaim/reject behavior, stacked pressure clusters, and ATR risk projections into one open-source Pine Script v6 tool.
