💥 Ranges and Breakouts by AlgoAlpha is a dynamic indicator designed for traders seeking to identify market ranges and capitalize on breakout opportunities.

How It Works
The indicator detects price ranges by analyzing the highest and lowest prices over a specified period. It confirms a range if these levels remain unchanged for a set number of bars, at which point it visually marks the range with shaded boxes. Pivots are identified within these ranges, and a midline is plotted to help interpret potential breakouts. When price breaks out of these defined ranges, the indicator changes the chart's background color to signal a bullish or bearish trend. Alerts can be set for range formation, breakouts, and take-profit opportunities, helping traders stay proactive in volatile markets.
