buying/selling pressure

Quote from spreadem:

It seems to me that when a market moves quickly with with force and strong volume it is exhibiting a greater buying pressure than a market that slowly moves, covering the same distance but over a longer time frame.

Now ... how do you quantify that phenomenon?

Check out this website... They seem to have an indicator that measures the buying/selling pressure which correspond to the support/resistance level.

Quotetracker has pressure bars that you can add to the chart to show you the buy/selling pressure. Their indicator page says:

Pressure Bars
This indicator shows the ratio of the volume of trades going off at ask vs. trades going off at bid for each period of time.
