Reading colors and bar dynamics

Increasing green bars Bullish pressure increasing

Green bars that progressively increase indicate expanding bullish pressure.

The market is accelerating upward with strong participation.

Typical use:

context favorable for maintaining long positions

avoid short operations against growing strength

confirmation of a healthy bullish trend

Decreasing green bars Bullish slowdown

Bars still green but decreasing indicate loss of bullish momentum.

The trend is not denied, but it shows signs of fatigue.

Typical use:

position management

partial profit taking

tighter protective stops

avoid late new entries

Decreasing red bars Structured bearish pressure

Red bars that progressively reduce represent orderly and controlled bearish pressure.

Typical of clean and well structured bearish trends.

Increasing red bars Bearish impulse possible climax

Increasing red bars indicate impulsive bearish acceleration.

Often associated with panic phases or final movements.

Typical use:

Orange bars Transition and neutrality

They often precede a regime change or a sideways phase.

Typical use:

NO TRADE zone

waiting for a new clear structure

filter to reduce overtrading

Advanced reading: slowdown and exhaustion of the long move

Orange after a green phase Long slowing down

When, after a significant sequence of green bars, the histogram turns orange, the bullish movement enters a slowdown phase.

In this condition:

the bullish trend is still valid

buyer pressure decreases

the probability of consolidation increases

Typical use:

active long management

partial profit taking

tighter stops

avoid aggressive new entries

First red bars after orange Long near exhaustion

If red bars begin to appear after the orange phase, bullish pressure is almost exhausted and bearish force begins to emerge.

In this phase:

the long movement is in its final stage

the risk of reversal or correction increases

the probability of bullish continuation decreases significantly

Typical use:

closing remaining long positions

no new long activity

waiting for a new directional context
