MCL1! 1H Update: Volume Polarity Pattern Follow-UpMicro WTI Crude Oil FuturesNYMEX_DL:MCL1!yuzernameLink to the original chart: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/MCL1!/vE6GyjYK-MCL1-Volume-Polarity-is-flashing-the-same-warning-that-preceded/ Yesterday we could see on the Volume Polarity indicator that the 1H MCL1! chart was repeating a pattern from a few days prior. Despite the similar setup, and strong (but temporary) wick down, the move never materialized. Had you not hit your target on the corresponding wick down, how could you have known that the trade idea was dead? Two things... First, the Smooth Volume Differential (Yellow) never flips to the negative, and actually begins expanding to the upside. Second, and this is where the power of a strong companion indicator comes to bear. The Kinetic Bias indicator showed us that the Directional Wave (Aqua) continued to broaden even after the wick down, and never once threatened to flip the Bias Cloud red. Once the Bias Cloud turned back up it was clear that the move wasn't going to materialize and we needed to start managing our position. Having good companion indicators can be a lifesaver in markets that can turn on a dime. This is a perfect real-world example of why I designed these as complementary tools. Together they give much clearer confirmation and early warnings on failed moves.
