Core logic

The script detects pivot highs and pivot lows using a configurable lookback length and compares each new pivot to the previously stored pivot levels. Based on these comparisons, it classifies structure and derives a simple trend state.

Key principles:

* pivot highs and lows are confirmed using a left/right lookback window
* each new pivot high is classified as HH or LH versus the prior pivot high
* each new pivot low is classified as HL or LL versus the prior pivot low
* a trend state is inferred from the progression of pivot points
* trend background reflects bullish structure (higher lows / higher highs) or bearish structure (lower highs / lower lows)

This approach does not predict direction; it labels confirmed structure points to keep the chart objective and consistent.

Visualization

The script plots:

* HH and LH labels above price at confirmed pivot highs
* HL and LL labels below price at confirmed pivot lows
* separate bullish and bearish colors for structure classification
* a subtle background highlight indicating the current inferred trend state

Labels are offset by the pivot length to reflect the confirmation delay inherent to pivot-based structure.

Use case

This indicator is intended for:

* mapping swing structure for discretionary analysis
* identifying trend direction via HH/HL versus LH/LL sequencing
* spotting potential structure shifts and early reversals
* supporting Smart Money Concepts and price action workflows
* improving trade context for breakouts, pullbacks, and liquidity-based setups

It is most effective when combined with key levels, session context, and momentum filters or AI-assisted chart evaluation.
