Tradingview.com | FVG Positioning Average [LuxAlgo]

 The FVG Positioning Average indicator aims to uncover potential price levels of interest by averaging together recent Fair Value Gap (FVG) initiation levels.

This indicator is grounded in the theory that significant buying or selling activity is the primary catalyst for creating FVGs.

By averaging together the prices where each FVG initiated, we may potentially reveal where major participants are positioned.

By analyzing the average price of bullish or bearish FVGs, users can identify potential support or resistance areas where the larger participants may re-enter or defend their positions.

These areas could be used to adjust entries and exits or assist with risk management such as take-profit or stop-loss levels.

The indicator displays 2 lines, the Bull Average and the Bear Average.

• The Bull Average is only displayed when the price holds above the bull Average.
  
• The Bear Average is only displayed when the price holds below the bear average.
  

When only one average is displayed alone, this level is seen as support or resistance, it is anticipated that this level would be defended for the current trend to stay valid.

When both averages are displayed simultaneously, it can be interpreted as one side attempting to take over the trend.

The movements and reactions during these attempts can be analyzed to provide helpful information about where the price might be headed.

Possible outcomes:

• Trend Confirmation/Re-Entry (From Weak Attempts)
  
• Trend Reversal (Creating Support or Resistance)
  
• Consolidation (Oscillating between/around Bull & Bear Averages)
