Momentum Squeeze Candle [Darwinian]

# Momentum Squeeze Candle [Darwinian]

Professional squeeze detection indicator with Wyckoff accumulation/distribution analysis and multi-method momentum signals.

## Overview

Identifies volatility compression (squeeze) periods and provides intelligent momentum direction signals based on institutional accumulation/distribution patterns.

## Features

6 Squeeze Detection Methods:
• BB + KC (Classic) - John Carter's TTM Squeeze
• ATR Ratio - Volatility compression detection
• Choppiness Index - Ranging vs trending analysis
• BB Width - Bollinger Band contraction
• Volume Contraction - Drying volume detection
• Hybrid Multi-Method - Ensemble approach (3+ methods must agree)

Smart Momentum Direction:
• Priority 1: Wyckoff signals (ATR compression + volume analysis)
• Priority 2: RSI momentum (55/45 thresholds)
• Priority 3: Hybrid slope + momentum confirmation

Visual Indicators:
• Blue candle coloring during squeeze
• Green circles = Bullish momentum (accumulation detected)
• Red circles = Bearish momentum (distribution detected)
• Optional BB/KC band overlay

## How It Works

Wyckoff Accumulation (Bullish):
ATR compressing + volume drying + price holding above MA = Smart money accumulating
→ Green circle signals

Wyckoff Distribution (Bearish):
ATR expanding + volume surging + price failing below MA = Smart money distributing
→ Red circle signals
