Fundur - Market Sentiment BIndicator Overview
The Market Sentiment B indicator is a sophisticated multi-timeframe momentum oscillator that provides comprehensive market analysis through advanced wave theory and sentiment measurement. Unlike traditional single-timeframe indicators, Market Sentiment B analyzes 11 different timeframes simultaneously to create a unified view of market momentum and sentiment.
What Makes Market Sentiment B Unique
Multi-Timeframe Convergence : The indicator combines data from 11 different periods (8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987) based on mathematical sequences that naturally occur in market cycles.
Advanced Wave Analysis : The histogram component tracks momentum waves with precise peak and trough identification, allowing traders to spot both major moves and smaller precursor waves.
Sentiment Extremes Detection : When all 11 timeframes reach extreme levels simultaneously, the indicator highlights these rare conditions with background coloring, signaling potential major reversals.
Dynamic Zone Analysis : The indicator divides market conditions into Premium (80+), Discount (20-), and Liquidity zones (40-60), providing clear context for trade entries and exits.
Core Components
1. Market Sentiment B Line (Main Signal)
The primary oscillator line that represents the averaged sentiment across all timeframes. This line uses advanced mathematical filtering to smooth out noise while preserving important trend changes.
Key Features:
Oscillates between 0-100
Color-coded: Green when rising, Red when falling
Shows divergences with colored dots
Premium zone: 80+, Discount zone: 20-
2. Momentum Waves (Secondary Signal)
A smoothed version of the Market Sentiment B line that acts as a trend-following component. This line helps identify the underlying momentum direction.
Key Features:
Blue coloring during bullish expansion (above 50 and rising)
Orange coloring during bearish expansion (below 50 and falling)
Filled areas show expansion and contraction phases
Critical 50-line crossovers signal momentum shifts
3. Histogram (Wave Analysis)
The difference between Market Sentiment B and Momentum Waves, displayed as a histogram that reveals the relationship between current sentiment and underlying momentum.
Key Features:
Green bars: Positive momentum (Market Sentiment above Momentum Waves)
Red bars: Negative momentum (Market Sentiment below Momentum Waves)
Wave height labels show the strength of each wave
Divergence patterns identify potential reversals
4. Divergence System
Advanced divergence detection that identifies both regular and hidden divergences, with special "Golden Divergences" for the strongest signals.
Types:
Regular Divergences : Price makes new highs/lows while indicator doesn't
Hidden Divergences : Continuation patterns in trending markets
Golden Divergences : High-probability reversal signals (orange dots)
5. Zone Analysis
The indicator divides market conditions into distinct zones:
Premium Zone (80-100) : Potential selling area
Liquidity Zone (40-60) : Neutral/consolidation area (highlighted in orange)
Discount Zone (0-20) : Potential buying area
Extreme Conditions : Background coloring when all timeframes align

FAQ & Troubleshooting
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why don't I see any signals on my chart?
A: Check if "Only Show Indicators at Market Sentiment Extremes" is enabled. If so, signals only appear when the indicator is above 80 or below 20.
Q: What's the difference between golden and standard divergences?
A: Golden divergences (orange dots) are higher-probability signals that meet additional criteria for strength and momentum alignment. Standard divergences are regular price/indicator disagreements.
Q: How do I reduce alert noise?
A: Enable "Only Alert In Extremes" in the alert settings, or use "Combine Multiple Alerts" to consolidate multiple signals into single messages.
Q: What timeframe works best with this indicator?
A: The indicator works on all timeframes. For day trading, use 1-15 minutes. For swing trading, use 1-4 hours. For position trading, use daily or weekly.

Sentimentanalysis
Aggregated Open Interest [Alpha Extract]The Aggregated Open Interest indicator provides a comprehensive view of open interest across multiple cryptocurrency exchanges, allowing traders to monitor institutional positioning and market sentiment. By aggregating data from major exchanges like Binance, BitMEX, and Kraken, this indicator offers valuable insights into potential price movements and market shifts.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator processes open interest data through multiple analytical methods:
Exchange Aggregation: Collects and normalizes open interest data from multiple exchanges (Binance, BitMEX, Kraken) with proper currency normalization.
Multi-Mode Analysis: Calculates various metrics including raw open interest values, OI change, OI delta, volume-weighted delta, and OI RSI.
Divergence Detection: Uses pivot point analysis to identify divergences between price action and open interest movements.
Activity Assessment: Tracks bullish and bearish activity patterns by correlating open interest changes with price movements.
Formula:
Aggregate OI = Sum of normalized open interest from selected exchanges
OI Change = Current OI - Previous OI
OI Delta = Net change in open interest across timeframes
OI Delta × Volume = OI Delta weighted by relative volume
OI RSI = Relative Strength Index applied to open interest values
OI Heatmap = Multi-timeframe visualization of OI changes across 7 distinct periods
🔶 DETAILS
Visual Features:
Open Interest: Candlestick representation of aggregated open interest
OI Change: Histogram showing period-to-period changes
OI Delta: Histogram displaying net OI movements
OI Delta × Volume: Volume-weighted OI delta for enhanced signals
OI RSI: Oscillator showing overbought/oversold OI conditions
OI Heatmap: Multi-timeframe visualization showing OI changes across 7 periods (3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and 55 days)
Divergence Detection: Color-coded markers (teal for bullish, red for bearish) highlighting significant divergences between price and open interest
Analysis Table: Real-time summary of key metrics including aggregate OI, recent changes, and bullish/bearish activity.
Interpretation:
Increasing Open Interest + Rising Price: Strong bullish trend confirmation
Increasing Open Interest + Falling Price: Strong bearish trend confirmation
Decreasing Open Interest + Rising Price: Weak bullish trend (potential reversal)
Decreasing Open Interest + Falling Price: Weak bearish trend (potential reversal)
Divergences: Signal potential trend exhaustion and reversals when price moves in one direction while open interest moves in the opposite direction
Heatmap: Provides at-a-glance insight into open interest trends across multiple timeframes, with green bars indicating rising OI and red bars indicating falling OI
🔶 EXAMPLES
Trend Confirmation: Rising open interest accompanying a price increase confirms strong bullish momentum with institutional backing.
Example: During January-February 2025, rising OI during price advances confirms institutional participation in the uptrend.
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high while open interest makes a lower high, signaling potential trend reversal.
Example: Red markers appear at market tops where price continues higher but open interest fails to confirm, preceding significant corrections.
Bullish Divergence : Price makes a lower low while open interest makes a higher low, indicating potential bottoming.
Example: Teal markers appear at market bottoms where price continues lower but open interest fails to confirm, preceding significant rallies.
OI Heatmap Analysis : Multiple timeframes showing consistent red signals across short to long-term periods indicate strong institutional selling pressure.
Example: When all 7 periods (3-55 days) show red during a price uptrend, this signals institutional selling into retail strength, often preceding major corrections.

Money Flow Index Trend Zone Strength [UAlgo]The "Money Flow Index Trend Zone Strength " indicator is designed to analyze and visualize the strength of market trends and OB/OS zones using the Money Flow Index (MFI). The MFI is a momentum indicator that incorporates both price and volume data, providing insights into the buying and selling pressure in the market. This script enhances the traditional MFI by introducing trend and zone strength analysis, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and continuation points.
🔶 Customizable Settings
Amplitude: Defines the range for the MFI Zone Strength calculation.
Wavelength: Period used for the MFI calculation and Stochastic calculations.
Smoothing Factor: Smoothing period for the Stochastic calculations.
Show Zone Strength: Enables/disables visualization of the MFI Zone Strength line.
Show Trend Strength: Enables/disables visualization of the MFI Trend Strength area.
Trend Strength Signal Length: Period used for the final smoothing of the Trend Strength indicator.
Trend Anchor: Selects the anchor point (0 or 50) for the Trend Strength Stochastic calculation.
Trend Transform MA Length: Moving Average length for the Trend Transform calculation.
🔶 Calculations
Zone Strength (Stochastic MFI):
The highest and lowest MFI values over a specified amplitude are used to normalize the MFI value:
MFI Highest: Highest MFI value over the amplitude period.
MFI Lowest: Lowest MFI value over the amplitude period.
MFI Zone Strength: (MFI Value - MFI Lowest) / (MFI Highest - MFI Lowest)
By normalizing and smoothing the MFI values, we aim to highlight the relative strength of different market zones.
Trend Strength:
The smoothed MFI zone strength values are further processed to calculate the trend strength:
EMA of MFI Zone Strength: Exponential Moving Average of the MFI Zone Strength over the wavelength period.
Stochastic of EMA: Stochastic calculation of the EMA values, smoothed with the same smoothing factor.
Purpose: The trend strength calculation provides insights into the underlying market trends. By using EMA and stochastic functions, we can filter out noise and better understand the overall market direction. This helps traders stay aligned with the prevailing trend and make more informed trading decisions.
🔶 Usage
Interpreting Zone Strength: The zone strength plot helps identify overbought and oversold conditions. A higher zone strength indicates potential overbought conditions, while a lower zone strength suggests oversold conditions, can suggest areas for entry/exit decisions.
Interpreting Trend Strength: The trend strength plot visualizes the underlying market trend, can help signal potential trend continuation or reversal based on the chosen anchor point.
Using the Trend Transform: The trend transform plot provides an additional layer of trend analysis, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and continuation points.
Combine the insights from the zone strength and trend strength plots with other technical analysis tools to make informed trading decisions. Look for confluence between different indicators to increase the reliability of your trades.

Rotation Factor for TPO and OHLC (Classic)The Rotation Factor objectively measures attempted market direction(or market sentiment) for a given period. It records the cumulative directional attempts of auction rotations within a given period, thus, helping traders determine which way the market is trying to go and which market participant is exerting greater control or influence.
Theory
The premise is that a greater number of bars auctioning higher contrasted to bars auctioning lower indicates that buyers are exerting greater control over price within the given period(usually daily). In this case, the market is attempting to go higher (Market is Bullish). The same is true for a greater number of bars auctioning lower than higher, which, in this case, indicates that the sellers are exerting greater control over price within the given period and that the market is attempting to go lower (Market is Bearish).
Calculation
Each bar is individually measured in relation to the immediate previous bar, and calculations are reset at the beginning of each period.
For every bar, two variables are utilised: One for the highs and another for the lows. During bar start, these variables are initiated at 0.
As the period progresses, these variables are set accordingly: If the high of the current bar is higher than that of the previous bar, then the bar's highs variable is assigned a "+1". If the opposite is true, it is given a "-1". Finally, if both bar highs are equal, it is, instead, assigned a "0". The same is true for the lows: if the low of the current bar is higher than that of the previous low, then the bar's lows variable is assigned a "+1". Similarly, the opposite is given a "-1", while equal lows causes it to be assigned a "0". All highs and lows are then summed together resulting to a total, which becomes the Rotational Factor.
Presentation
Furthermore, this Rotation Factor Indicator is presented as it is calculated, which is the presentation utilised by classic sources (hence the name classic).
Features
1. Customisable Tick Size/Granularity : The calculation tick size/ granularity is customisable which can be accessed through the indicator settings.
2. Customisable Labels : The colour and sizes used by the labels are customisable the better for accessibility.
3. Period Separator : A separator is rendered to represent period borders (start and end). If separators are already present on your chart, you can remove them from the indicator settings.
Works for both split Market Profile(TPO) charts and regular OHLC bars/candle charts
The Rotation Factor is usually used with a Split Market Profile (TPO). However, if no such tool is available, you will still be able to benefit from the Rotation Factor as the price ranges of Split Market Profiles and OHLC bars/candles are one and the same. In such cases, it is recommended that you set your chart to use a 30 minute timeframe and the indicator's period to "daily" to simulate a Split Market Profile.
Note :
The Rotation Factor is, to quote, "by no means not an all-conclusive indication of future market direction.". It only helps determine which way the market is trying to go by objectively measuring the market's directional attempts.
Williams Vix Fix ultra complete indicator (Tartigradia)Williams VixFix is a realized volatility indicator developed by Larry Williams, and can help in finding market bottoms.
Indeed, as Williams describe in his paper, markets tend to find the lowest prices during times of highest volatility, which usually accompany times of highest fear. The VixFix is calculated as how much the current low price statistically deviates from the maximum within a given look-back period.
Although the VixFix originally only indicates market bottoms, its inverse may indicate market tops. As masa_crypto writes : "The inverse can be formulated by considering "how much the current high value statistically deviates from the minimum within a given look-back period." This transformation equates Vix_Fix_inverse. This indicator can be used for finding market tops, and therefore, is a good signal for a timing for taking a short position." However, in practice, the Inverse VixFix is much less reliable than the classical VixFix, but is nevertheless a good addition to get some additional context.

V3 MAJOR Update on 1-05-2014
tista merged LazyBear's Black Dots filter in 2020:
Extended by Tartigradia in 10-2022:
* Can select a symbol different from current to calculate vixfix, allows to select SP:SPX to mimic the original VIX index.
* Inverse VixFix (from masa_crypto and web.archive.org)
* VixFix OHLC Bars plot
* Price / VixFix Candles plot (Pro Tip: draw trend lines to find good entry/exit points)
* Add ADX filtering, Minimaxis signals, Minimaxis filtering (from samgozman )
* Convert to pinescript v5
* Allow timeframe selection (MTF)
* Skip off days (more accurate reproduction of original VIX)
* Reorganized, cleaned up code, commented out parts, commented out or removed unused code (eg, some of the KC calculations)
* Changed default Bollinger Band settings to reduce false positives in crypto markets.
Set Index symbol to SPX, and index_current = false, and timeframe Weekly, to reproduce the original VIX as close as possible by the VIXFIX (use the Add Symbol option, because you want to plot CBOE:VIX on the same timeframe as the current chart, which may include extended session / weekends). With the Weekly timeframe, off days / extended session days should not change much, but with lower timeframes this is important, because nights and weekends can change how the graph appears and seemingly make them different because of timing misalignment when in reality they are not when properly aligned.
RSI+ by Wilson (alt)Extension of the excellent RSI+ script by Wilsonlibero. I tweaked the parameters to better fit crypto markets, and I added a few more visuals, such as midline, overbought/oversold threshold lines and areas, background coloration depending on RSI trend above or below midline, and a few other tweaks especially colors (fixed the transp parameter deprecation for example). The color theme is by default more optimized for dark mode charts, but all colors can be configured, and all drawings can be enabled/disabled/tweaked in the parameters.

The indicator smoothens a closely following moving average into a polynomial like plot and assumes 4 staged cycles based on the first and the second derivatives. This is an optimized strategy for long term buying and selling with a Sortino Ratio above 3. It is designed to be a more profitable alternative to HODLing. It can be combined with 'Accumulation/Distribution Bands & Signals' and 'Exponential Top and Bottom Finder'.
