The Kyber Cell's – TTM Wave B

Kyber Cell’s Wave B – TTM Squeeze Trend Confirmation Histogram

⸻

1. Introduction

Wave B acts as the trend validator in the TTM Squeeze suite. While Wave A reveals the heartbeat of momentum, Wave B focuses on the directional stability of price. It answers a critical question for traders: Is the trend in my favor, or am I trading against the dominant force?

Built for confirming entries and filtering out low-probability setups, Kyber Cell’s Wave B applies a smoother, more deliberate view of trend structure using configurable moving average logic. This makes it ideal for preventing false starts and improving trade alignment — particularly in combination with Wave A and squeeze-fire signals.

2. Core Concept and Calculation

Unlike Wave A, which tracks short-term price bursts, Wave B focuses on trend direction and consistency. It typically derives its signal from one of two engines:
• EMA-Based Method: Compares short-term EMA (e.g., 8) to a longer EMA (e.g., 21) to determine directional bias.
• HMA-Based Method: Measures slope and crossover behavior between fast and slow Hull Moving Averages (e.g., HMA 34 and HMA 144) for a smoother trend read.

These calculations produce a histogram that doesn’t fluctuate rapidly like Wave A, but instead stabilizes around sustained trend strength. As such, Wave B excels at confirming whether a move has backing from the broader market structure.

3. Visual Output and Color Logic

Wave B uses a 3-color histogram to clearly define trend state:
• Bright Blue: Bullish trend
• Bright Red: Bearish trend
• Gray: Neutral or transitioning state (indecision)

This simplified color scheme helps traders avoid information overload and focus on whether the market is structurally aligned for long or short entries.
• When paired with a squeeze-fire and rising Wave A, a blue Wave B bar signals strong confirmation to go long.
• Conversely, a red Wave B bar during a squeeze-fire and falling Wave A confirms bearish setups.
• A gray bar typically signals trend conflict, indecision, or transitional environments — and should be treated as a caution flag.

4. Ideal Use Case

Wave B is best used as a filter and confirmation layer in your trading workflow:
1. Identify a squeeze setup (using Squeeze Pro or dots indicator).
2. Confirm with Wave A: Look for a fresh momentum push (cyan or red bars).
3. Validate with Wave B:
• Only take long trades when Wave B is blue.
• Only take short trades when Wave B is red.
• Avoid or delay trades when Wave B is gray.
4. Ride the trend until Wave B flips or Wave A fades.

This reduces emotional decision-making and keeps your trades aligned with the prevailing bias, especially on higher timeframes or in choppy conditions.

5. Configuration and Customization

Wave B is designed with enough flexibility to adapt to different trading styles while remaining streamlined:
• Trend Engine Selection: Choose between EMA-based or HMA-based logic.
• Moving Average Lengths: Customize the short- and long-term periods.
• Color Customization: Adjust bar colors to match your chart theme or visibility needs.
• Bar Thickness and Positioning: Optional visual tweaks depending on your chart layout.

The goal is to provide just enough configurability to integrate seamlessly with Wave A and Squeeze Pro, without diluting the core purpose: trend clarity.

6. Alerts and Add-ons

Wave B can be extended with basic or advanced alerts, depending on your needs:
• Alert on trend flips (blue → red or red → blue)
• Alert on return to neutral (gray bars)
• Combined alerts with squeeze and momentum signals for high-confluence trades

When integrated with other components, Wave B becomes an essential part of a multi-layered confirmation system.
