Climax Volume

Climax Volume is a powerful tool designed to identify volume-driven turning points in the market.

Climax Volume (Zeiierman) is a powerful tool designed to identify volume-driven turning points in the market. By pinpointing moments of volume climax — when price action becomes unsustainable due to extreme activity — the indicator highlights potential reversals, pauses, or price imbalances that often precede key market moves.

Core Concept

This indicator detects volume climax events by scanning for abnormal spikes in activity relative to recent history. These spikes represent moments of exhaustion or acceleration — when one side of the market becomes overly aggressive, often triggering short-term shifts in direction. The tool then tracks the volume-weighted impact of those events using a dynamic Point of Control model.

Climax Points

Climax points are plotted directly on the chart as color-coded circles:

  • 🟢 Bullish Climax Points appear during high-volume moves to the upside

  • 🔴 Bearish Climax Points appear during high-volume moves to the downside

These are often early signals of buyer or seller exhaustion, and they help traders visually identify unsustainable pushes in price.

Climax circles can be enabled or disabled based on your preference.

Volume Point of Control (POC)

Following a climax event, the indicator calculates a volume-weighted Point of Control — the price level where the market concentrated its effort after the spike.

  • The POC is plotted as a curved line on the chart

  • Acts as dynamic support/resistance

  • Moves with price, adjusting as new volume data is added

This feature helps traders identify fair value zones or areas where price may react again in the future.

POC Bands (Optional)

In addition to the core POC, the indicator also plots:

  • 🔼 Upper Control Band

  • 🔽 Lower Control Band

These form a tolerance zone around the Point of Control, helping you interpret range pressure and breakout potential.

You can adjust:

  • The width of the bands (via standard deviation multiplier)

  • The visual color and thickness

  • Whether to include Fibonacci extensions from the POC (customizable)

Smart Price Selection

The POC is calculated using a weighted average price model that responds dynamically to the context of the climax:

  • ✅ In bullish momentum, highs are emphasized

  • ✅ In bearish momentum, lows are prioritized

This allows the indicator to anchor more accurately to meaningful levels, adapting to the behavior that caused the climax in the first place.

💡 Pro Tips

⚠️ Caution

Best Suited For:

  • ✅ Traders looking to spot exhaustion or aggressive volume surges

  • ✅ Intraday and swing traders who want to react to volume-driven imbalances

  • ✅ Those who use volume + structure as a core part of their trading edge

  • ✅ Anyone seeking fair value zones after chaotic price movement
