Kyber Cell's – TTM Wave A

The Kyber Cell’s Wave A – TTM Squeeze Momentum Histogram

⸻

1. Introduction

Wave A is the momentum core of the TTM Squeeze system. As the most dynamic and visually responsive of the three “waves,” it captures the ebb and flow of price strength using linear regression techniques. This histogram-based indicator is typically displayed below the chart and serves as an early warning system for potential breakouts, as well as a momentum health monitor during trades.

Built for traders who value precision, timing, and visual clarity, Kyber Cell’s Wave A re-engineers the traditional TTM Wave A with enhanced color logic, momentum sensitivity, and integration-readiness with multi-wave systems. Whether you’re scalping intraday volatility or riding longer-term swings, this tool gives you the pulse of the move — before the price fully commits.

2. Core Concept and Calculation

Wave A focuses on momentum as deviation from equilibrium, using a linear regression of the smoothed price difference between:
• The current close
• And the average of the Bollinger Band basis and a mid-range average of highs and lows

The result is a histogram that expands and contracts based on how far and how fast price is moving away from its mean. This makes it ideal for identifying when markets are building pressure (compression), releasing energy (expansion), or losing steam (divergence).

3. Visual Output and Color Logic

The Wave A histogram dynamically changes color based on the direction and acceleration of momentum:
• Bright Cyan: Bullish momentum increasing
• Dark Blue: Bullish momentum weakening
• Bright Red: Bearish momentum increasing
• Dark Red: Bearish momentum weakening

This 4-color system helps traders instantly identify not just the direction of momentum, but the quality of that move:
• Increasing color brightness = momentum is building
• Dimming colors = momentum is fading

This is especially useful in squeeze trades — a rising Wave A during a green dot (squeeze fire) confirms breakout direction. Conversely, a fading Wave A may suggest to delay entry or prepare to exit.

4. Ideal Use Case

Wave A is most effective when used in conjunction with a TTM Squeeze dot indicator (such as your Squeeze Pro) and optional Wave B/C overlays. The typical workflow:
1. Watch for Compression: Red, orange, or blue squeeze dots from the main chart indicator.
2. Confirm with Wave A: Enter long if Wave A flips cyan and is rising, or short if it flips bright red and is increasing.
3. Monitor the Bars: Fading bars may signal divergence, exhaustion, or false breakouts.
4. Exit Gracefully: When the histogram flips against your position and starts rising in the opposite color, it’s often a signal to consider tightening stops or taking profit.

5. Configuration and Customization

Wave A is intentionally minimal in external configuration, focusing instead on clean visuals and fast response. However, key parameters typically include:
• Length of the linear regression (commonly set to match the Squeeze window)
• Price smoothing options (if enabled)
• Bar coloring toggle (to adapt for personal theme preferences or integration into multi-wave dashboards)

This keeps Wave A lightweight and compatible with a wide range of strategies, while remaining highly informative in real-time.

6. Alerts and Add-ons

While Wave A itself is primarily visual, it can be enhanced with optional alert logic:
• Histogram flip from negative to positive (bullish)
• Histogram flip from positive to negative (bearish)
• Momentum peak or divergence alert (custom-coded for advanced users)

Traders often link this with a squeeze-fire signal or Wave B trend alignment to trigger more sophisticated alerts or automation workflows.
