The Hidden Gap Volume Indicator is a technical analysis tool for MetaTrader 5 that calculates the average volume of the last 20 pivots and draws a band around it based on two standard deviations.
Each volume bar in this oscillator is categorized based on comparison with previous volumes and the deviation band, and is displayed in one of six defined colors:
- Red: the lowest volume within the observed range
- Yellow: volume lower than the previous candle
- Purple: volume lower than the average of the two previous candles
- Blue: volume higher than the previous candle
- Brown: volume exceeding the upper deviation band
- Green: out of band, but volume lower than the previous candle

Indicator Overview
In the Hidden Gap Volume Indicator, yellow and purple bars signal volume weakening in continuation of price moves and are recognized as hidden gaps in the trend direction.
Additionally, brown bars, which exceed the volume deviation band, highlight overbought or oversold zones, suggesting a high likelihood of reversal or correction.
Uptrend Conditions
The image below shows the GBP/JPY currency pair on the 30-minute timeframe. In uptrends, blue bars indicate rising volume and buyer pressure.
If a new high forms without volume support and yellow or purple bars appear, this indicates a hidden volume gap, signaling a potential buy zone.

Downtrend Conditions
The following 4-hour Solana (SOL) chart illustrates volume behavior in a downtrend.
In this setup, blue bars represent increasing volume, selling pressure, and a favorable condition for entering short positions.

Conclusion
The Hidden Gap Volume Indicator analyzes volume reduction near tops and bottoms and detects volume saturation zones via brown bars, helping determine entry and exit zones with high accuracy.
Does the Hidden Gap Volume Indicator help identify trend reversals?
Yes. When a new high or low is formed but volume declines (yellow or purple bars), the chance of a trend reversal increases.
What is the best timeframe for using the Hidden Gap Volume Indicator?
This indicator works on all timeframes but is more accurate on mid-term timeframes (15 minutes to 4 hours).
