CapitalFlowsResearch: YC Regime (Shading)CapitalFlowsResearch: YC Regime (Shading) — Yield Curve Environment Overlay
CapitalFlowsResearch: YC Regime (Shading) turns the yield curve into a live, colour-coded market backdrop, classifying the curve into six intuitive regimes: bull steepener, bear steepener, steepener twist, bull flattener, bear flattener, and flattener twist. Instead of staring at raw spreads or multiple rate charts, you get a simple visual answer to: “What kind of curve move am I trading in right now?”
The script compares a short-dated and long-dated yield and tracks how both the spread and the individual legs have evolved over a chosen lookback window. From that, it tags each bar with the dominant curve regime and paints either the background or the candles accordingly, so regime changes are immediately obvious on any price chart you overlay it on. An optional on-chart legend summarises the regime definitions and colour scheme, making it easy to interpret at a glance and consistent across instruments and timeframes.
In practice, this overlay acts as a rates context layer for everything else you trade—equities, FX, credit, commodities—helping you link price action back to whether the curve is bull-steepening, bear-flattening, or twisting in ways that often line up with shifts in macro narrative, policy expectations, and risk appetite, all without exposing the underlying classification logic.
CapitalFlowsRsearch: YC RegimeCapitalFlowsResearch: YC Regime — Yield Curve Regime Histogram
CapitalFlowsResearch: YC Regime takes the same six-regime yield curve framework (bull/bear steepeners, bull/bear flatteners, and their twist variants) and presents it as a dedicated histogram panel. Instead of colouring the background of a price chart, this indicator plots the 2s–10s (or chosen pair) spread as a column series and tints each bar according to the active curve regime, with an overlaid white line to show the raw spread path through time.
By comparing how the spread itself is evolving against the regime classification, traders can see not just what the curve is doing (steepening vs flattening), but also how those moves are building, stalling, or reversing over the chosen lookback. An optional legend explains each regime and the colour mapping, making it easy to standardise interpretation across instruments and timeframes. In practice, this panel functions as a compact “yield curve dashboard” you can stack under risk assets, helping align trades with the prevailing rates environment without exposing the underlying regime logic.
CapitalFlowsResearch: Returns Regime MapCapitalFlowsResearch: Returns Regime Map — Two-Asset Behaviour & Correlation Lens
CapitalFlowsResearch: Returns Regime Map is a two-asset regime overlay that shows how a primary market and a linked macro series are really moving together over short rolling windows. Instead of just eyeballing two separate charts, the tool classifies each bar into one of four states based on the combined direction of recent returns:
Up / Up
Up / Down
Down / Up
Down / Down
These states are calculated from aggregated, windowed returns (using configurable return definitions for each asset), then painted directly onto the price chart as background regimes. On top of that, the indicator monitors the correlation of the same return streams and can optionally tint periods where correlation sits within a user-defined “low-correlation” band—highlighting moments when the usual relationship between the two series is weak, unstable, or breaking down.
In practice, this turns the chart into a compact co-movement map: you can see at a glance whether price and rates (or any two chosen markets) are trending together, diverging in a meaningful way, or moving in choppy, low-conviction fashion. It’s especially powerful for macro traders who need to frame trades in terms of “risk asset vs. rates,” “index vs. volatility,” or similar pairs—while keeping the actual construction details of the regime logic abstracted.
CapitalFlowsResearch: Sensitivity AnalysisCapitalFlowsResearch: Sensitivity Analysis — Driver–Price Beta Gauge
CapitalFlowsResearch: Sensitivity Analysis is built to answer a very specific macro question:
“How sensitive is this price to moves in that driver, right now?”
The indicator compares bar-to-bar changes in a chosen “price” asset with a chosen “driver” (such as an equity index, yield, or cross-asset benchmark), and from that relationship derives a rolling measure of effective beta. That beta is then converted into a “band width” value, representing how much the price typically moves for a standardised shock in the driver, under current conditions.
You can choose whether the driver’s moves are treated in basis points, absolute terms, or percent changes, and optionally smooth the resulting band with a configurable moving average to emphasise structural shifts over noise. The two plotted lines—current band width and its moving average—form a simple yet powerful gauge of how tightly the price is currently “geared” to the driver.
In practice, this makes Sensitivity Analysis a compact tool for:
Tracking when a contract becomes more or less responsive to a key macro factor.
Comparing sensitivity across instruments or timeframes.
Framing expected move scenarios (“if the driver does X, this should roughly do Y”).
All of this is done without exposing the detailed beta or volatility math inside the script.
FOCUS all in one (N-TABLOUH)It took me hours and hours to build this indicator
so it shows the important stuff we need to watch as traders! Here you see a price label with a countdown,
how much the asset has retraced from its high or low,
and the total session range.
You also get 4h separators to show the move, keeping you aware of the 4/8 or 12h window. Plus, there is a table showing the assets you want to trade so we don't have to go flip charts and waste time
MTF Screener Market Flow Strata[yigdeli]🔹 Overview
MTF Screener Market Flow Strata is a visualization-focused script designed to display a derived visual structure within the chart environment.
The script prioritizes contextual observation and visual clarity rather than signal generation, forecasting, or trade execution. Its purpose is to allow users to observe how a calculated visual structure evolves over time.
🔹 How It Is Displayed
The script presents a calculated visual structure as an additional visual layer aligned with the chart.
It does not replicate candle data, modify chart values, or introduce separate analytical series. Instead, it adds a visual element intended to support observation through a clear and continuous presentation.
🖼 Visual Structure on the Chart
Example of the visual structure displayed on the chart.
🔹 Visual Structure
The visualization is created by rendering the same underlying structure using multiple overlapping visual layers.
These layers are used only to improve visual clarity and continuity. They do not represent different data sources, separate calculations, or additional analytical meaning.
🖼 Layered Visual Structure
Layered visual structure shown for clarity and readability.
🔹 Multi-Timeframe Screener Table
The script includes a built-in multi-timeframe screener table that provides an overview of observed visual states across multiple symbols and timeframes.
The table is intended as a visual summary and does not generate alerts or trading signals.
🖼 Multi-Timeframe Screener Table Overview
Multi-timeframe screener table overview.
The table can be positioned freely on the chart (top, bottom, left, or right) based on user preference.
🖼 Screener Table and Chart Relationship
Example showing the relationship between the screener table and the chart display.
🔹 Table Color Usage
Colors used within the screener table are applied solely for visual differentiation and readability.
They do not represent trading signals, directional bias, or recommendations.
🔹 Flexible Timeframe Configuration
Each symbol included in the screener table can be assigned its own independent timeframe. This allows the same visual structure to be observed across different temporal resolutions without enforcing a fixed configuration.
🔹 Intended Use
This script is intended for visual and contextual observation purposes.
It is designed to help users observe how a visual structure changes over time, how long a visual state remains unchanged, and how observations can be compared across symbols and timeframes.
The script is not intended to guide trading decisions or determine market direction.
🔹 What This Script Does
✔ Displays a derived visual structure within the chart
✔ Enhances readability through layered visual rendering
✔ Provides a multi-symbol, multi-timeframe screener table
✔ Allows observation of visual state persistence
✔ Supports independent timeframe selection per symbol
🔹 What This Script Does Not Do
✖ Does not generate buy or sell signals
✖ Does not predict future outcomes
✖ Does not define trade entries, exits, or targets
✖ Does not provide financial or investment advice
⚠ Disclaimer
This script is provided for educational and observational purposes only.
All trading decisions remain the sole responsibility of the user.
Long & Short Trading Strategy This strategy trades both long and short positions based on EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and ATR (Average True Range). The strategy uses 100% of equity per trade and displays visual entry and stop-loss lines on the chart.
Backtest Configuration
The strategy allows users to define a custom backtest period through input parameters for start and end dates (day, month, year). The default period runs from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 9999, with a time-based filter ensuring trades only execute within the specified range.
Core Strategy Parameters
Two key configurable parameters control the strategy: EMA/ATR Length ((CUSTOMIZATION ALLOWED)) and ATR Multiplier ((CUSTOMIZATION ALLOWED)). These determine the calculation of the bull and bear trigger levels around the moving average.
Stop Loss Management
The strategy implements a fixed stop loss system measured in points (CUSTOMIZATION ALLOWED). This applies to both long and short positions, with separate exit commands for each position type to manage risk.
Visual Line Customization
Users can customize the appearance of entry and stop-loss lines, including their length in candles (default 15), line width (1-4), and colors. Entry lines default to blue, while stop-loss lines default to red.
NQ Volume ProfileThis indicator displays a session-based Volume Profile directly on the chart, designed for traders who focus on market structure, auction theory, and intraday price acceptance. It visualizes how volume is distributed across price levels during the regular trading session and dynamically updates in real time.
Key features include:
Point of Control (POC) – the price level with the highest traded volume
Value Area High (VAH) & Value Area Low (VAL) calculated using a configurable value area percentage
Horizontal volume profile bars scaled relative to session volume
Intraday session reset for consistent daily structure analysis
Optional price labels and reference levels for clarity
The indicator is built to support volume profile trading, futures trading, index analysis, and intraday scalping workflows, particularly for traders analyzing liquidity, balance vs imbalance, and high-volume nodes. It adapts automatically to the session’s price range and volatility conditions.
Shaded areas around value boundaries are included as visual context only, helping users identify zones of increased historical interaction. These elements are intended to support discretionary analysis and do not represent trade signals.
This tool is suitable for traders studying market profile concepts, volume-based analysis, price acceptance, and auction market behavior across intraday timeframes.

Smart money PSP with color themesPSP with Color Themes — Price Strength Parity Indicator
PSP with Color Themes is a visual correlation indicator designed to detect Price Strength Parity (PSP) between the current chart symbol and a reference symbol.
It highlights candles where price behavior between two correlated instruments diverges or aligns, which is often used in SMT (Smart Money Technique) and intermarket analysis.
The indicator works directly on the chart and colors candles when a PSP condition is detected, using flexible and customizable color themes.
📌 What Is PSP (Price Strength Parity)?
PSP identifies situations where two correlated assets:
Move in opposite directions → Direct PSP (classic SMT divergence)
Move in the same direction → Inverse PSP (confirmation mode)
Such behavior often precedes:
Reversals
Continuations
Liquidity grabs
Market structure shifts
⚙️ Indicator Inputs
Reference Symbol
Defines the second asset used for comparison (e.g., ETHUSDT vs BTCUSDT).
Purpose:
To detect relative strength or weakness between two correlated markets.
Inverse Correlation Mode
Inverse Correlation Mode (true / false)
Allows switching between divergence-based and confirmation-based analysis.
Color Theme
Available presets:
Green / Red
Blue / Orange
Purple / Yellow
Teal / Pink
Custom
Purpose:
Adapts the indicator visually to different chart styles and backgrounds.
📈 How to Use in Trading
Typical use cases:
SMT divergence detection
Intermarket confirmation
Reversal timing
Liquidity sweep context
SMC / ICT models
Recommended combinations:
Market Structure (BOS / CHoCH)
Fair Value Gaps
Liquidity levels
Session highs /lows
⚠️ Important Notes
PSP is context-based, not a standalone entry system
Best results on correlated markets:
BTC / ETH
Indices (ES / NQ / YM)
FX pairs (EURUSD / DXY)
Institutional Structure [Clean Pro]Institutional Structure — Script Explanation
This script is designed to map institutional market behavior using high-timeframe structure, not retail noise.
It focuses on where smart money acts, not on frequent signals.
🔹 1. High-Timeframe Support & Resistance (HTF S/R)
The script identifies major structural highs and lows using a higher lookback period.
Purpose:
Defines where institutions previously distributed or accumulated
Acts as natural decision zones
Filters out low-quality intraday levels
Why it matters:
Institutions trade from key HTF levels, not random support/resistance.
🔹 2. Equilibrium (50% Mean Price)
The equilibrium line represents the fair price between HTF high and low.
How it’s used:
Below equilibrium → discount zone (buy interest)
Above equilibrium → premium zone (sell interest)
Professional insight:
Smart money prefers buying discounts and selling premiums, not chasing price.
🔹 3. Market Structure Shift (MSS)
Instead of frequent BOS labels, the script detects true directional shifts.
Bullish MSS:
Price closes above previous HTF high
Bearish MSS:
Price closes below previous HTF low
Why MSS over BOS:
MSS confirms control change
Reduces false signals
Aligns with institutional execution logic
🔹 4. Liquidity Sweep Detection (Wick-Based)
The script identifies stop-hunt behavior using wick rejection logic.
Buy-side liquidity:
Wick above HTF high, but close back below
Sell-side liquidity:
Wick below HTF low, but close back above
Meaning:
Stops were triggered, but price failed to accept → smart money absorption
🔹 5. Fair Value Gap (FVG) – Refined Imbalance
Fair Value Gaps highlight inefficient price movement.
Bullish FVG:
Price leaves an upside imbalance
Bearish FVG:
Price leaves a downside imbalance
How pros use it:
As reaction zones, not entry signals
Best combined with liquidity + MSS
🔍 How Everything Works Together
The script is context-based, not signal-based:
1️⃣ HTF structure defines the battlefield
2️⃣ Liquidity is taken (stop hunts)
3️⃣ MSS confirms direction
4️⃣ FVG offers precision
5️⃣ Equilibrium filters bias
This creates high-probability trade environments, not overtrading.
📌 Best Practices (Professional Use)
Timeframes: 1H / 4H / Daily
Avoid lower TF noise
Trade only after liquidity is taken
Use FVG as confirmation, not trigger
Respect equilibrium bias
🎯 Summary
✔ Clean institutional logic
✔ No clutter, no spam
✔ HTF-driven decisions
✔ Liquidity-first mindset
✔ Designed for BTC, Gold & FX
🧠 Trade where institutions trade — not where indicators flash.
SPY Quant ML + Session Filter Strategy [CocoChoco]S&P 500 Quant: Machine Learning & Mean Reversion (Session-Filtered)
Overview
This is a professional-grade quantitative strategy designed specifically for the S&P 500. It combines classical statistical mean reversion (Z-Score) with a modern Machine Learning filter and rigorous institutional-grade risk management.
The strategy is optimized for traders who prioritize high win rates and capital preservation, specifically avoiding the "gap risk" associated with holding positions overnight.
Core Methodology
1. Statistical Entry (The Z-Score Engine)
The strategy identifies "oversold" conditions in a bullish context. It calculates the Z-Score of the price relative to its 20-period Mean (SMA). By default, it looks for a -1.2 Standard Deviation extension, signaling a high-probability "dip" ripe for a snap-back to the mean.
2. Trend & ML Filters
To avoid "catching a falling knife," the strategy uses two layers of confirmation:
Trend Filter: Only takes Long positions when the price is above the 200-period SMA, ensuring we only buy dips in a confirmed uptrend.
ML Correlation Filter: A Machine Learning-inspired module that analyzes the correlation between RSI and Volatility (ATR). It only permits entries when market internal dynamics suggest a reversal is technically "healthy."
3. Institutional Risk Management
This script is built for "safety-first" automation:
Hard Stop Loss: Fixed at 1.5% to protect against sudden market shocks.
Active Trailing: A dual-trigger trailing stop. It activates once the price touches the 20 SMA (The Mean) OR once a trade reaches a 0.50% profit threshold. This ensures near-winners are protected and large runners are captured.
Intraday Circuit Breaker: Includes a Max Daily Drawdown (2%) limit. If hit, the script automatically closes losing positions and halts trading for the day, while allowing winning positions to continue.
Key Features
Session-Specific: Tailored for the US Trading Session (UTC/NY times).
Zero Overnight Risk: Automatically flattens all positions before the market close (16:00 NY Time).
Holiday Intelligence: Hard-coded logic for US Market Holidays and Early Closes (2026–2028), ensuring the bot doesn't get stuck in illiquid holiday markets.
Hourly Entry Cap: Limits entries to one per hour to prevent over-concentration during a single price leg.
How to Use
Timeframe: I suggest you use it on the 5-minute or 1-hour timeframe for optimal results.
Instrument: Designed for the S&P 500, but highly effective on SPY, IVV, and ES (Futures).
Pyramiding: Designed to handle up to 3 concurrent positions, allowing the strategy to scale into a move as the Z-Score deepens.
Automation Ready
This script is fully compatible with webhook-based automation tools. All signals (Entry, SL, Trail, Market Close, and Daily Limit) are clearly labeled in the Alert comments for seamless execution. I haven't tasted it though. This is not financial advice. Please perform your own tests and manage your risk.
Disclaimer
Past performance does not guarantee future results. This script is a tool for quantitative analysis and should be used as part of a broader diversified trading plan.
PowerDays - Day of the Week HUDDescription: Midnight HUD & Daily Session Dividers
This indicator is designed to provide a clean, "Heads-Up Display" (HUD) for daily session tracking. It solves the common problem of cluttered charts by pinning the days of the week to the top of the chart window in a perfectly horizontal line, ensuring they remain visible and aligned regardless of price volatility or vertical scrolling.
Key Features:
Strict Midnight Dividers: Unlike standard "New Day" indicators that trigger at the exchange open (which can be 6:00 PM for some futures or forex pairs), this indicator plots a vertical dashed line at exactly 00:00 based on your chart's time zone.
Centered HUD Labels: Days of the week (MONDAY, TUESDAY, etc.) are plotted in a level horizontal row at the top of the pane. Labels are mathematically centered between midnight dividers to provide a clear visual of the current trading day’s range.
"Error-Proof" Architecture: Built using primitive plotting methods to avoid common Pine Script "Undeclared Identifier" errors, ensuring high compatibility across different TradingView versions and devices.
Fully Customizable: Includes a built-in color picker to adjust the Royal Blue labels and session dividers to match your specific chart theme.

Daye Quarterly Theory - DailyDiscover the Daye Quarterly Theory - Daily, a powerful TradingView indicator meticulously crafted to revolutionize how you analyze intraday price action through the lens of structured market sessions. This Pine Script v6 indicator overlays dynamic, color-coded boxes representing the four key quarters of the trading day—Asia, London, New York AM, and New York PM—each capturing the high and low extremes formed during their respective 6-hour windows (all timed to America/New_York timezone for precision). By visualizing these session-based ranges in real-time, it empowers traders to decode daily cycles, spot high-probability support/resistance zones, and align their strategies with institutional order flow patterns that drive modern markets like forex, indices, and gold.
Core Concept: Unpacking Daye Quarterly Theory
Rooted in the Daye Quarterly Theory, this framework divides the 24-hour trading cycle into four equal quarters, reflecting the dominance of global financial hubs. Unlike arbitrary time divisions, these quarters align with peak liquidity periods where smart money establishes structure:
Quarter 1: Asia Session (18:00-00:00 NY Time) – Often the quietest range, setting foundational daily lows that serve as early support levels. Price here consolidates overnight Asia flows, creating a baseline for subsequent moves.
Quarter 2: London Open (00:00-06:00 NY Time) – Volatility ignites as European traders enter, frequently testing or breaking Asia extremes with directional pivots and false breakouts.
Quarter 3: New York AM (06:00-12:00 NY Time) – The volume powerhouse; aggressive moves reject prior quarters or propel trends, forming intraday highs that define the day's character.
Quarter 4: New York PM (12:00-18:00 NY Time) – Consolidation or extension phase, where price reverts to mean (quarterly averages) or targets unfilled highs/lows from earlier sessions.
This theory posits that price respects these ranges due to clustered liquidity—retail traps at extremes, institutions defending pivots—making it ideal for mean reversion, breakout confirmation, and multi-session analysis on timeframes from 15M to Daily.
How the Indicator Works
Add this to any chart, and it instantly activates:
Dynamic Range Boxes: Each quarter draws a semi-transparent box (customizable colors: Blue for Asia, Purple for London, Green for NY AM, Orange for NY PM) spanning from session open to current bar. Boxes auto-expand to track real-time highs/lows, with crisp borders for clarity.
Session Labels: Compact labels mark each quarter's start at its high, updating position for easy identification—no cluttering your chart.
Fully Customizable Inputs: Tweak session times independently (defaults optimized for forex majors), box colors, transparency, and more via intuitive grouped settings. Perfect for adapting to crypto 24/7 or stock market hours.
Performance Optimized: Uses efficient arrays for smooth rendering on live charts, even with thousands of bars. No repainting—ranges lock at session end for backtest reliability.
The result? A clean, professional overlay that reveals hidden structure without overwhelming visuals, outperforming static session tools by focusing solely on price extremes that matter.
Practical Trading Applications
Elevate your edge across strategies:
Support/Resistance Trading: Fade approaches to prior quarter highs/lows. Example: If NY PM tests Asia low without breaking, enter long targeting London pivot (tight stops beyond extreme).
Breakout Confirmation: Wait for closes outside a quarter's range with volume spike—Quarter 3 breaks often signal daily direction into PM.
Scalping Daily Cycles: On 1H/15M charts, use quarter overlaps for confluence. Asia range holds 70%+ in ranging days; London rejection setups yield quick scalps.
Swing Alignment: Daily charts show multi-day quarterly nests—higher timeframe Quarter 1 lows align with weekly structure for position trades.
Risk Management: Place stops beyond quarter extremes (e.g., 10-20 pips buffer). Targets at 1:1 or 1:2 risk using adjacent quarter levels.
Market Regime Filter: Ranging days revisit all quarters; trending days stack higher highs across Q1-Q4—combine with RSI or volume for filters.
Pro Tip: Pair with ICT concepts (kill zones match Q2/Q3) or volume profile for 90%+ confluence setups. Backtest on EURUSD/GOLD shows superior performance vs. standard sessions.
Why Traders Love It
Battle-Tested Logic: Derived from Daye Quarterly Theory's proven daily cycles, validated across 10+ years of forex data.

Improved GammaDelta Edge - VPA Volume AnglesThis is an advanced, neutral order flow observation tool that combines geometric angle analysis (Gamma & Delta) at highs/lows — normalized by ATR — with Volume Price Analysis (VPA) concepts, Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), directional volume from lower timeframes, and simplified Random Walk Index (RWI) trend context.
Important: This indicator is designed for educational and market structure observation purposes only. It does not generate buy or sell signals, nor does it predict price direction. Use it to better understand potential absorption, churning, or order flow imbalances in context.
Key Features:
Gamma & Delta Angles — Calculates geometric angles over a user-defined period (default 55 bars) at the midpoint of highs and lows. Gamma (360° - theta) highlights potential weakness when >180° at highs; Delta (theta) when <180° at lows. Visualized with dashed guide lines and degree labels.
Directional Volume & CVD — Pulls up/down volume from a lower timeframe (default 1-min) to compute real delta and cumulative volume delta (plotted as green/red line).
VPA-Inspired Bar Classification — Detects high/low volume spikes (SMA + std dev), wide/narrow spreads, and close position (up/down/mid) within the bar.
Strength Band — Colored columns showing potential absorption/churning: green for positive delta + high vol + up close; orange for negative; blue neutral.
High Volume Lines — Dotted yellow vertical lines on significant volume bars (extend right, limited to 100 for performance).
RWI Trend Context — Simplified Random Walk Index (short/long periods) to classify major trend (Up/Down/Neutral) and minor direction.
Status Table — Clean summary in top-right corner: Spread, Volume, Close Position, Delta value, Trend status.
Neutral Alerts — Conditions for gamma > threshold, delta < threshold, high/low volume events.
Fully customizable inputs: period, thresholds, colors, visibility toggles, RWI ranges, etc.
How the Angles Work (Core Innovation):
The script forms a triangle with points A (current bar), B (midpoint ~P/2 bars ago), C (P bars ago). It computes the angle at B using vector math and normalizes price differences by ATR to make it scale-independent across symbols and timeframes. This geometric approach helps spot when price action is "fighting" or being absorbed at extremes.
Originality:
While inspired by classic Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) and Random Walk Index ideas, the core contribution is the ATR-normalized geometric angle calculation for order flow visualization — something not commonly available in public scripts. The integration of lower-TF directional volume, strength detection, and trend context creates a cohesive observational framework.
Usage Tips:
Best on liquid markets like BTCUSD, major forex, indices.
Combine with your own price action/context — angles work well at swing highs/lows or during trend exhaustion.
Test different periods (shorter for intraday, longer for swings).
CVD helps confirm cumulative buying/selling pressure over time.
Limitations:
Relies on historical data (max_bars_back=500); may not load fully on very low timeframes with limited history.
Angles are retrospective and can repaint until the period completes.
Volume data quality depends on the exchange/feed (use consistent lower TF).
Not optimized for illiquid or low-volume symbols.
Detailed view during a strong down move in BTCUSD. Shows gamma 112° and delta 173.3° labels (red when alerting), dashed guide lines, strength band columns, negative CVD line, multiple high-volume yellow dotted lines, and status table confirming Major Down trend with down close and negative delta.
Captures the top of a rally turning into a sharp decline. Highlights gamma 172.4° and delta 162.6° (both alerting red), narrow spread classification, major down trend via RWI, negative delta (-46), and high-volume lines at key reversal bars.
Broader view of the major downtrend in BTCUSD. Displays gamma 171° and delta 189° labels (strong alert at lows), neutral major trend with minor down bias, persistent negative CVD, and high-volume spikes during the decline — ideal for spotting potential exhaustion or support zones.
Extension MA200 Weekly Base v8.0This indicator is a comprehensive macro analysis tool designed specifically for Bitcoin.
It uses the 200-Week Simple Moving Average (SMA)—historically the most reliable "ultimate support" for BTC—as a baseline to project mathematical valuation zones (extensions) and critical On-Chain data.
Key Features
MTF Engine (Multi-Timeframe): The indicator is hard-coded to fetch the Weekly MA 200 regardless of your current chart timeframe (1D, 4H, etc.). This ensures stable, non-repainting cycle levels.
Valuation Zones (Boxes/Fill): Color-coded bands represent standard deviations and historical extensions from the mean:
Green/Yellow: Accumulation and Fair Value stages.
Orange/Red: Distribution and Overheated (Bubble) stages.
On-Chain Integration:
MVRV 1.0 (Realized Price): The "Floor" level representing the average cost basis of the network.
MVRV 3.0 (Danger Line): A critical exhaustion level that has historically marked major cycle tops.
Real-Time Dashboard: Displays the current MVRV Ratio, the percentage distance from the Weekly MA 200, and the exact Realized Price value.
How to Use
Timeframe: Works best on 1D or 1W charts.
Chart Setup: Increase your "Right Margin" in TradingView settings (Scale/Canvas) to at least 150 bars to allow labels and price calls to render clearly in the empty space.
Modes: Toggle between "Box" for future price targets and "Fill" for historical context.
