Absorption-Emission Oscillator: New TradingView Indicator

A new technical indicator called the Absorption-Emission Oscillator is currently in development and will be published on TradingView. The concept draws from physics, specifically the idea that energy can be absorbed or emitted by a system, and applies it to market behavior.

In this framework, a market is said to be 'absorbing' energy when it shows signs of compression: long wicks, indecisive candles, tight ranges, and a general lack of directional conviction. These are periods where opposing forces — buyers and sellers — are roughly balanced, and the market appears to be building potential energy.

The 'emission' phase follows when that stored tension is released: large-bodied candles, strong directional moves, and clear momentum impulses. The oscillator aims to measure and visualize this cycle, helping traders identify when a market is transitioning from a low-energy, compressed state into a high-energy, trending move.

Indicators built on physics-inspired metaphors have a long history in technical analysis, and the absorption-emission concept aligns closely with well-established ideas like volatility compression before breakouts. The full release on TradingView is forthcoming, at which point traders will be able to apply it to their charts and evaluate its practical signal quality.
