Sentiment
CryptoNeo - Crypto Stablecoin MatrixThe CryptoNeo – Crypto Stablecoin Matrix is a forward-looking indicator that decodes broad crypto market sentiment by analyzing how stablecoins behave across spot and futures markets.
Stablecoins are the lifeblood of the crypto ecosystem, and how they move can offer early insight into future market direction. This tool leverages that behavior to forecast potential price action across major cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, and other large-cap coins that tend to move in sync with the broader market.
Originally derived from a suite of alpha signals developed for a systematic crypto trading algorithm, this indicator compresses advanced stablecoin flow analytics into a clear and intuitive visual format — designed specifically for discretionary traders.
It is optimized for trading on the 30-minute to 4-hour timeframes, where the nuances of capital flow are most actionable. Whether you’re swing trading majors or scouting key pivot points, this tool provides a fresh edge rooted in stablecoin dynamics.
The Matrix is composed of four core components that signal changes in sentiment, capital flow, and market positioning:
1. Stablecoin Futures Flow (Bullish/Bearish)
Detects shifts in leveraged positioning in the futures market based on proprietary flow dynamics.
🟩 Green squares = bullish futures flow (long bias)
🟥 Red squares = bearish futures flow (short bias)
Helps identify directional sentiment through futures-driven stablecoin movement.
2. Stablecoin Spot Flow (Bullish/Bearish)
Analyzes momentum in spot market stablecoin activity to reveal potential accumulation or distribution.
🟢 Green circles = bullish spot flow (buying pressure)
🔴 Red circles = bearish spot flow (selling pressure)
Offers early signals of demand or profit-taking pressure.
3. Futures Oversold/Overbought Level 1
Identifies early signs of exhaustion or trend slowing based on leveraged market conditions.
🟢 Green diamonds = early oversold signal
🔴 Red diamonds = early overbought signal
Useful for catching subtle turning points or slowing momentum.
4. Futures Oversold/Overbought Level 2
Flags rare and extreme positioning events that may precede major reversals.
🟢 Large green diamonds = deep oversold condition
🔴 Large red diamonds = deep overbought condition
Highlights moments of extreme imbalance or sentiment peaks.
Customization & Flexibility
Adjustable sensitivity settings allow you to fine-tune:
Bullish and bearish Spot and Futures Flow
Thresholds for Level 1 and Level 2 Overbought/Oversold signals
This ensures traders can align signal responsiveness with their trading style and market conditions.
Best Used For:
Swing trading crypto majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, etc.)
Timeframes between 30 minutes and 4 hours
Identifying trend reversals and accumulation zones
Tracking macro market sentiment using stablecoin behavior

## How It Works
### Volume Distribution Algorithm
The indicator analyzes each bar within the specified period and distributes its volume proportionally across the price levels it touches. This creates an accurate representation of where trading activity has been concentrated.
### Institutional Detection Logic
- **PPV Trigger**: Current up-bar volume > highest down-volume in lookback period + above volume MA
- **PNV Trigger**: Current down-bar volume > highest up-volume in lookback period + above volume MA
- **Accumulation**: High volume + narrow range + bullish close
- **Distribution**: Very high volume + minimal price movement
### Value Area Calculation
Starting from the POC, the algorithm expands both upward and downward, adding volume until reaching the specified percentage of total volume (default 70%).
## Configuration Parameters
### Profile Settings
- **Profile Period**: 10-500 bars (default: 50)

Click " Create ".
█ STRATEGY EXAMPLES
The following examples are for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate how the Volume Profile (PRO) can be used. They are not financial advice. Always conduct thorough backtesting and research.
1. POC as Dynamic Support/Resistance
Goal: Identify potential bounces or rejections from the Point of Control.
Setup: Enable "POC Line" (Regular or Developing) and observe price interaction.
Entry (Long):
- Price approaches the POC from above and shows signs of holding (e.g., bullish candlestick patterns, deceleration).
- Enter on confirmation of support at the POC.
Entry (Short):
- Price approaches the POC from below and shows signs of rejection (e.g., bearish candlestick patterns).
- Enter on confirmation of resistance at the POC.
Management: Stop-loss beyond the recent swing pivot or the POC itself after a confirmed break. Target the next significant volume node (HVN/LVN) or Value Area boundary.
2. Trading Low Volume Nodes (LVNs) as "Vacuum Zones"
Goal: Capitalize on rapid price movement through LVNs and their potential to become support/resistance once traversed.
Setup: Enable "Lowest Volume Nodes" to identify LVNs.
Entry (Long):
- Price breaks decisively above an LVN.
- Look for a retest of the top of the LVN as support. Enter long on confirmation.
Entry (Short):
- Price breaks decisively below an LVN.
- Look for a retest of the bottom of the LVN as resistance. Enter short on confirmation.
Concept: Price is expected to move quickly through LVNs (volume vacuum). Once price has passed through an LVN, that area of prior low acceptance can act as a new support/resistance zone.
Management: Stop-loss beyond the retested LVN. Target the next HVN or significant price level.
█ CONCLUSION
The Volume Profile (PRO) indicator offers a sophisticated and highly customizable approach to volume analysis. By providing clear visualizations of POC, Value Area, HVNs, LVNs, and Volume Peaks/Troughs, along with integrated alerts and developing levels, this tool empowers traders to identify critical price zones, understand market structure, and develop more nuanced trading strategies. Whether you're looking for precise entry points, areas of support and resistance, or confirmation of market sentiment, this Volume Profile indicator is an invaluable addition to your technical analysis toolkit.
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
⚠ Lookback vs. Calculated Bars Relationship: The value set in the " Lookback " input ( Calculation Settings ) must be less than half of the number of bars the indicator is set to calculate on your chart (referred to as " Calculated bars " in the script, typically controlled by TradingView's historical data loading or a calc_bars_count setting within the script's indicator() declaration – in this script, it is 1200 bars by default). For example, if "Calculated bars" is 1200, your Lookback should be less than 600. The default Lookback of 500 respects this. Setting a Lookback too high relative to available calculated bars can lead to errors or incorrect profile rendering.
⚠ Parameter Optimization: The default settings are starting points. Always adjust indicator parameters (Lookback, Number of Rows, VA%, etc.) based on the specific asset, its volatility, and the timeframe you are trading. Thorough backtesting is crucial.
⚠ Context is Key: Volume Profile is powerful, but its signals are best interpreted within the broader market context (trend, news, other technical indicators).
⚠ Lookback vs. Profile Stability: A shorter lookback makes the profile very responsive to recent action but less stable. A longer lookback provides more stable levels but may lag in fast-moving markets.
⚠ Number of Rows: Higher row counts offer more granularity but can impact performance and may show too much noise. Lower row counts offer a broader view but may obscure finer details.
⚠ Alert Confirmation: Using " Once Per Bar Close " for alerts is generally recommended to ensure signals are based on confirmed price action.
█ RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. The Volume Profile (PRO) indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only . It does NOT constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. Indicator signals identify potential patterns based on historical data but do not guarantee future price movements or profitability. Always conduct your own thorough research, utilize multiple sources of information, and implement robust risk management practices before making any trading decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

ML: Lorentzian Classification Premium█ OVERVIEW
Lorentzian Classification Premium represents the culmination of two years of collaborative development with over 1,000 beta testers from the TradingView community. Building upon the foundation of the open-source version, this premium edition introduces powerful enhancements that transform how machine-learning classification can be applied to market analysis.
The premium version maintains the core Lorentzian distance-based classification algorithm while expanding its capabilities through triple the feature dimensionality (up to 15 features), sophisticated mean-reversion detection, first-pullback identification, and a comprehensive signal taxonomy that goes far beyond simple buy/sell signals. Whether you're building automated trading systems, conducting deep market research, or integrating proprietary indicators into ML workflows, this tool provides the advanced edge needed for professional-grade analysis.
█ BACKGROUND
Lorentzian Classification analyzes market structures, especially those exhibiting non-linear distortions under stress, by employing advanced distance metrics like the Lorentzian metric, prominent in fields such as relativity theory. Where traditional indicators assume flat space, we embrace the curve. The heart of this approach is the Lorentzian distance metric—a sophisticated mathematical tool. This framework adeptly navigates the complex curves and distortions of market space, aiming to provide insights that traditional analysis might miss, especially during moments of extreme volatility. It analyzes historical data from a multi-dimensional feature space consisting of various technical indicators of your choosing. Where traditional approaches fail, Lorentzian space reveals the true geometry of market dynamics.
Neighborhoods in Different Geometries: In the above figure, the Lorentzian metric creates distinctive cross-patterns aligned with feature axes (RSI, CCI, ADX), capturing both local similarity and dimensional extremes. This unique geometry allows the algorithm to recognize similar market conditions that Euclidean spheres and Manhattan diamonds would miss entirely. In LC Premium, users can have up to 15 features -- you are not limited to 3-dimensions.
Among the thousands of distance metrics discovered by mathematicians, each perceives data through its own geometric lens. The Lorentzian metric stands apart with its unique ability to capture market behavior during volatile events.
█ COMMUNITY-DRIVEN EVOLUTION
It has been profoundly humbling over the past 2 years to witness this indicator's evolution through the collaborative efforts of our incredible community. This journey has been shaped by thousands of user suggestions and validated through real-world application.
A particularly amazing milestone was the development of a complete community-driven Python port, which meticulously matched even the most minute PineScript quirks. Building on this solid foundation, a new command-line interface (CLI) has opened up exciting possibilities for chart-specific parameter optimization:
Early insights from parameter optimization research: Through grid-search testing across thousands of parameter combinations, the analysis identifies which parameters have the biggest effects on performance and maps regions of stability across different market regimes. This reveals that optimal neighbor counts vary significantly based on market conditions—opening up incredible potential for timeframe-specific optimization.
This is just one of the insights gleaned so far from this ongoing investigation. The potential for chart-specific optimization for any given timeframe could transform how traders approach parameter selection.
Demand from power users for extra capabilities—while keeping the open-source version simple—sparked this Premium release. The open-source branch remains maintained, but the premium tier adds unique features for those who need an analytical edge and to leverage their own custom indicators as feature series for the algorithm.

█ HOW TO USE
Understanding the Approach (Core Concept):
Lorentzian Classification uses a k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) algorithm. It searches for historical price action "neighborhoods" similar to the current market state. Instead of a simple straight-line (Euclidean) distance, it primarily uses a Lorentzian distance metric, which can account for market "warping" or distortions often seen during high volatility or significant events. Each historical neighbor "votes" on what happened next in its context, and these votes aggregate into a classification score for the current bar.
Interpreting Bar Scores & Signals (Interpreting the Chart):
Bar Prediction Values: Numbers over each candle (e.g., ranging from -8 to +8 if Neighbors Count is 8) represent the aggregated vote from the nearest neighbors. Strong positive scores (e.g., +7, +8) indicate a strong bullish consensus among historical analogs. Strong negative scores (e.g., -7, -8) indicate a strong bearish consensus. Scores near zero suggest neutrality or conflicting signals from neighbors. The intensity of bar colors (if Use Confidence Gradient is on) often reflects these scores.
Main Arrows (Main Buy/Sell Labels): Large ▲/▼ labels are the primary entry signals generated when the overall classification (after filters) is bullish or bearish.
Pullback Triangles: Small green/red ▲/▼ identify potential trend continuation entries. These signals often appear after an initial price move and a subsequent minor retracement, suggesting the trend might resume. This is based on recognizing patterns where a brief counter-movement is followed by a continued advance in the initial trend direction.
Mean-Reversion Symbols: 🔄 (Regular Reversion) appears when price has crossed the average band of the Dynamic Kernel Regression Envelope. ⬇️/⬆️ (Strong Reversion) means price has crossed the far band of the envelope, indicating a more extreme deviation and potentially a stronger reversion opportunity.
Custom Mean Reversion Deviation Markers (Deviation Dots): If Enable Custom Mean Reversion Alerts is on, these dots appear when price deviates from the main kernel regression line by a user-defined ATR multiple, signaling a custom-defined reversion opportunity.
Kernel Regression Lines & Envelope: The Main Kernel Estimate (thicker line) is an adaptive moving average that smooths price and helps identify trend direction. Its color indicates the current trend bias. The Envelope (outer bands and a midline) creates a channel around price, and its interaction with price generates mean reversion signals.
Key Input Groups & Their Purpose:
🔧 GENERAL SETTINGS:
Reduce Price-Time Warping : Toggles the distance metric. When enabled, it reduces the characteristic "warping" effect of the default Lorentzian metric, making the distance calculation more Euclidean in nature. This may be suited for periods exhibiting less pronounced price-time distortions.
Source : Price data for calculations (default: close ).
Neighbors Count : The 'k' in k-NN – number of historical analogs considered.
Max Bars Back : How far back the indicator looks for historical patterns.
Show Exits / Use Dynamic Exits : Controls visibility and logic for exit signals.
Include Full History (Use Remote Fractals) : Allows model to pick "exotic" fractals from deep chart history.
Use Downsampling / Reset Factor : Advanced training parameters affecting neighbor selection.
Show Trade Stats / Use Worst Case Estimates : Displays a real-time performance table (for calibration only).
🎛️ DEFINE CUSTOM SOURCES (OPTIONAL):
Integrate up to 10 external data series (e.g., from other indicators) as features. Each can be optionally normalized. Load the external indicator on your chart first for it to appear in the dropdown.

Delta Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵Delta Volume Profile
A dynamic volume analysis tool that builds two separate horizontal profiles: one for bullish candles and one for bearish candles. This indicator helps traders identify the true balance of buying vs. selling volume across price levels, highlighting points of control (POCs), delta dominance, and hidden volume clusters with remarkable precision.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Split Volume Profiles (Bull vs. Bear):
The indicator separates volume based on candle direction:
If close > open , the candle’s volume is added to the bullish profile (positive volume).
If close < open , it contributes to the bearish profile (negative volume).
ATR-Based Binning:
The price range over the selected lookback is split into bins using ATR(200) as the bin height.
Each bin accumulates both bull and bear volumes to form the dual-sided profile.
Bull and Bear Volume Bars:
Bullish volumes are shown as right-facing bars on the right side, colored with a bullish gradient.
Bearish volumes appear as left-facing bars on the left side, shaded with a bearish gradient.
Each bar includes a volume label (e.g., +12.45K or -9.33K) to show exact volume at that price level.
Points of Control (POC) Highlighting:
The bin with the highest bullish volume is marked with a border in POC+ color (default: blue).
The bin with the highest bearish volume is marked with a POC− color (default: orange).
Total Volume Density Map:
A neutral gray background box is plotted behind candles showing the total volume (bull + bear) per bin.
This reveals high-interest price zones regardless of direction.
Delta and Total Volume Summary:
A Delta label appears at the top, showing net % difference between bull and bear volume.
A Total label at the bottom shows total accumulated volume across all bins.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator captures all candles within the lookback period .
It calculates the price range and splits it into bins using ATR for adaptive resolution.
For each candle:
If price intersects a bin and close > open , volume is added to the positive profile .
If close < open , volume is added to the negative profile .
The result is two side-by-side histograms at each price level—one for buyers, one for sellers.
The bin with the highest value on each side is visually emphasized using POC highlight colors.
At the end, the script calculates:
Delta: Total % difference between bull and bear volumes.
Total: Sum of all volumes in the lookback window.
🔵 USAGE
Volume Imbalance Zones: Identify price levels where buyers or sellers were clearly dominant.
Fade or Follow Volume Clusters: Use POC+ or POC− levels for reaction trades or breakouts.
Delta Strength Filtering: Strong delta values (> ±20%) suggest momentum or exhaustion setups.
Volume-Based Anchoring: Use profile levels to mark hidden support/resistance and execution zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Delta Volume Profile offers a unique advantage in market reading by separating buyer and seller activity into two visual layers. This allows traders to not only spot where volume was high, but also who was more aggressive. Whether you’re analyzing trend continuations, reversals, or absorption levels, this indicator gives you the transparency needed to trade with confidence.
Leslie's EMA Ribbon: 5/9/21 + VWAPEMA + VWAP Crossover Indicator with Alerts
This script blends three Exponential Moving Averages (5, 9, 21) with VWAP to identify momentum shifts and volume-confirmed trend signals. It’s optimized for the Daily timeframe, but also adaptable to shorter-term trading.
🔍 Why this combination?
EMAs provide fast and reliable trend signals:
- 5/9 EMA crossover → short-term shifts (more frequent)
- 9/21 EMA crossover → swing confirmation (less noise)
- VWAP adds volume context used by institutions for fair value tracking.
- 9EMA crossing VWAP confirms price action supported by volume.
Together, these tools offer a multi-layered view of market momentum — combining speed, confirmation, and conviction.
⚙️ Features:
Clean plots with dynamic labels on latest bar
Adjustable line weights for clarity
Alerts included for all crossovers:
- 5EMA / 9EMA
- 9EMA / 21EMA
- 9EMA / VWAP
✅ How to Use:
- Best on the Daily timeframe
- Use 5/9 as early signals, 9/21 for trend filtering, and 9/VWAP for volume-backed setups
- Turn on alerts to stay informed of key shifts without staring at charts
Malama's Dashboard with HeikinMalama's Dashboard with Heikin is a comprehensive trading indicator designed to provide traders with a consolidated view of market sentiment across multiple technical indicators. It combines Ichimoku Cloud, RSI, ADX, Choppiness Index, volume analysis, momentum, divergence detection, and multi-timeframe (MTF) MACD and volume trends to generate a composite sentiment score. The indicator displays these metrics in a visually intuitive table, enabling traders to quickly assess market conditions and make informed decisions. Optionally, it supports Heikin Ashi candles to smooth price data and reduce noise, aiding in trend identification. The script solves the problem of information overload by presenting key indicators in a single, trader-friendly dashboard, reducing the need for multiple charts or indicators.
Originality and Usefulness
This script is a unique mashup of several well-known technical indicators, integrated into a cohesive dashboard with a composite sentiment score. Unlike standalone indicators like RSI or Ichimoku, this script synthesizes signals from Ichimoku Cloud, RSI, ADX, Choppiness, volume, momentum, divergence, and MTF analysis into a unified sentiment metric. The inclusion of Heikin Ashi candles as an optional input adds flexibility for traders preferring smoothed price action. The composite score, derived from weighted contributions of each indicator, provides a novel way to gauge overall market direction, which is not commonly found in public open-source scripts. While individual components like RSI or Ichimoku are widely available, the script’s originality lies in its integrated approach, clear table visualization, and customizable settings, making it a practical tool for traders seeking a holistic market view.
Detailed Methodology ("How It Works")
The script processes multiple technical indicators and aggregates their signals into a composite sentiment score, displayed in a table. Below is a breakdown of its core components and logic:
Heikin Ashi Candles:
Logic: Optionally applies Heikin Ashi calculations to smooth price data. Heikin Ashi candles are computed using formulas for open, high, low, and close prices, reducing market noise and emphasizing trends.
Usage: When enabled, all subsequent calculations (Ichimoku, RSI, ADX, etc.) use Heikin Ashi prices instead of regular OHLC data, potentially improving trend clarity.
Ichimoku Cloud:
Logic: Calculates the Conversion Line (9-period high/low average), Base Line (26-period high/low average), Leading Span A (average of Conversion and Base Lines), and Leading Span B (52-period high/low average).
Signals: Bullish if the close price is above both Leading Spans; bearish if below; neutral otherwise.
Average Directional Index (ADX):
Logic: Computes ADX using a 14-period (default) directional movement index, measuring trend strength. PlusDI and MinusDI are calculated from price movements, and ADX is derived from their difference.
Signals: Bullish if PlusDI > MinusDI; bearish otherwise. ADX value indicates trend strength but is not used directly in sentiment scoring.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
Logic: Calculates RSI over a 21-period (default) using the closing price. Overbought (>75) and oversold (<25) levels are user-defined.
Signals: Bullish if RSI > 50; bearish if RSI < 50. Overbought/oversold conditions are displayed but not used in the composite score.
Momentum:
Logic: Measures the difference between the current close and the close 10 periods ago (default).
Signals: Bullish if momentum > 0; bearish if < 0; neutral if 0.
Choppiness Index:
Logic: Calculates choppiness over a 14-period (default) using ATR and price range, normalized to a 0–100 scale. Values >61.8 indicate a sideways market; <38.2 indicate a trending market.
Signals: Bullish if choppiness < 38.2; bearish otherwise.
Volume Analysis:
Logic: Compares current volume to a 21-period (default) simple moving average (SMA). Bullish or bearish pressure is determined by whether the close is above or below the open.
Signals: Bullish if volume > 1.2x SMA and bullish pressure dominates; bearish if bearish pressure dominates; neutral otherwise.
Divergence Detection:
Logic: Identifies RSI divergences over a 5-period lookback. A bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low, but RSI makes a higher low; bearish divergence is the opposite.
Signals: Bullish or bearish based on divergence detection; neutral if no divergence.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis:
Logic: Retrieves daily MACD (12, 26, 9) and volume SMA (21-period) from a higher timeframe. MACD is bullish if the MACD line > signal line; volume is bullish if current volume > daily SMA.
Signals: Bullish or bearish based on MACD and volume trends.
Composite Sentiment Score:
Logic: Aggregates signals from Ichimoku (±2), RSI (±1), ADX (±1), momentum (±1), choppiness (±1), divergence (±1), MTF MACD (±1), and MTF volume (±1). The score ranges from -8 to +8.
Signals: Bullish if score > 0; bearish if < 0; neutral if 0.
Alert Condition:
Triggers an alert when the composite sentiment flips (e.g., from bullish to bearish).
Strategy Results and Risk Management
This script is an indicator, not a strategy, and does not include backtesting or automated trade signals. However, the composite sentiment score can guide trading decisions. Assumptions for practical use include:
Commission and Slippage: Traders should account for realistic trading costs (e.g., 0.1% per trade) when acting on signals, though the script does not model these.
Risk Limits: Traders are advised to risk 5–10% of equity per trade, depending on their strategy and the strength of the composite score (e.g., higher scores may justify larger positions).
Trade Frequency: The script’s signals are based on multiple indicators, ensuring sufficient trade opportunities across trending and ranging markets.
Customization: Traders can adjust risk by modifying input parameters (e.g., RSI overbought/oversold levels or lookback periods) to align with their risk tolerance. For example, tightening RSI thresholds may reduce signal frequency but increase precision.
User Settings and Customization
The script offers several user-configurable inputs, allowing traders to tailor its behavior:
Use Heikin Ashi Candles (Boolean, default: false): Enables/disables Heikin Ashi smoothing for all calculations, affecting trend clarity.
ADX Length (Integer, default: 14, min: 1): Sets the period for ADX calculations, influencing trend strength sensitivity.
RSI Length (Integer, default: 21, min: 1): Adjusts RSI calculation period, impacting overbought/oversold detection.
RSI Overbought Level (Integer, default: 75, min: 1): Sets the RSI overbought threshold.
RSI Oversold Level (Integer, default: 25, min: 1): Sets the RSI oversold threshold.
Volatility Length (Integer, default: 21, min: 1): Controls the ATR period for volatility (used in Choppiness).
Volume MA Length (Integer, default: 21, min: 1): Sets the SMA period for volume analysis.
Momentum Length (Integer, default: 10, min: 1): Defines the lookback for momentum calculations.
Choppiness Length (Integer, default: 14, min: 1): Sets the period for Choppiness Index calculations.
These settings allow traders to adjust the indicator’s sensitivity to market conditions. For example, shorter RSI or ADX periods increase responsiveness but may generate more noise, while longer periods smooth signals but may lag.
Visualizations and Chart Setup
The script plots a table in the top-right corner of the chart, summarizing the following:
Header: Displays “MALAMA’S DASHBOARD” in white text on a black background.
Indicator Rows: Each row corresponds to an indicator (Ichimoku, RSI, ADX, Choppiness, Volume, Momentum, Divergence, MTF MACD, MTF Volume, Composite).
Columns:
Indicator: Lists the indicator name.
Value: Shows the calculated value (e.g., RSI value, composite score) and sentiment (e.g., Bullish, Bearish, Neutral).
Color Coding: Bullish signals are green, bearish signals are red, and neutral signals are gray, all with 85% transparency for readability.
Composite Sentiment: The final row displays the composite score and sentiment, providing a quick summary of market direction.
No trend lines, signal markers, or additional overlays are plotted, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered and focused on the dashboard’s insights.

Bitcoin Open Interest [SAKANE]Bitcoin Open Interest
— Unveiling the True Flow of Capital
PurposeVisualize and compare Bitcoin open interest (OI) from CME and Binance, the leading derivatives exchanges, in a single intuitive chart, providing traders with clear insights into crypto market capital dynamics.
Background & MotivationIn the 24/7 crypto market, price movements alone reveal only part of the story. Open interest (OI)—the total outstanding futures contracts—offers critical clues to the market’s next move. Yet, accessing and interpreting OI data is challenging:
CME Constraints: Commitment of Traders (COT) reports are weekly, and standalone BTC1! or BTC2! OI is noisy due to contract rollovers, obscuring true OI changes.
Existing Tool Limitations: Most OI indicators are fixed to either USD or BTC, limiting flexible analysis.
This indicator overcomes these hurdles, enabling seamless comparison of CME and Binance OI to track the market’s “capital center of gravity” in real time.
Key Features
Synthetic CME OI: Combines BTC1! and BTC2! to deliver high-accuracy OI, eliminating rollover noise.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Displays daily CME OI as pseudo-candlestick (OHLC) on any timeframe (e.g., 4H), allowing intuitive capital flow tracking across timeframes.
CME/Binance One-Click Toggle: Instantly compare institutional-driven CME and retail-driven Binance OI.
USD/BTC Flexibility: Switch between BTC (real demand) and USD (margin) perspectives for OI analysis.
Robust Design: Concise, global-scope code ensures stability and adaptability to TradingView updates.
Insights & Use Cases
Holistic Market Sentiment: Analyze capital flows by region and exchange for a multidimensional view.
Signal Detection: E.g., a sharp drop in CME OI during a sell-off may signal institutional withdrawal.
Retail Trends: A surge in Binance OI suggests retail-driven inflows.
Event-Driven Insights: E.g., during a hypothetical April 2025 “Trump Tariff Shock,” instantly identify which exchange drives capital shifts.
Unique ValueUnlike price-centric indicators, this tool focuses on capital flow (OI). It’s the only indicator offering one-click multi-timeframe and multi-exchange OI comparison, empowering traders to uncover the market’s “true intent” and gain a strategic edge.
ConclusionBitcoin Open Interest makes the market’s hidden capital movements accessible to all. By capturing market dynamics and pinpointing the “leading forces” during events, it sets a new standard for traders seeking a revolutionary perspective.
SOFR Spread (proxy: FEDFUNDS - US03MY)📊 SOFR Spread (Proxy: FEDFUNDS - US03MY) – Monitoring USD Money Market Liquidity
In 2008, the spread exhibits a sharp vertical spike, signaling a severe liquidity dislocation: investors rushed into short-term U.S. Treasuries, pushing their yields down dramatically, while the FEDFUNDS rate remained relatively high.
This behavior indicates extreme systemic stress in the interbank lending market, preceding massive Federal Reserve interventions such as rate cuts, emergency liquidity operations, and the launch of quantitative easing (QE).
Description:
This indicator plots the spread between the Effective Federal Funds Rate (FEDFUNDS) and the 3-Month US Treasury Bill yield (US03MY), used here as a proxy for the SOFR spread.
It serves as a simple yet powerful tool to detect liquidity dislocations and stress signals in the US short-term funding markets.
Interpretation:
🔴 Spread > 0.20% → Possible liquidity stress: elevated repo rates, cash shortage, interbank distrust.
🟡 Spread ≈ 0% → Normal market conditions, balanced liquidity.
🟢 Spread < 0% → Excess liquidity: strong demand for T-Bills, “flight to safety”, or distortion due to expansionary monetary policy.
Ideal for:
Monitoring Fed policy impact
Anticipating market-wide liquidity squeezes
Correlation with DXY, SPX, VIX, MOVE Index, and risk sentiment
🧠 Note: As SOFR is not directly available on TradingView, FEDFUNDS is used as a reliable proxy, closely tracking the same trends in most macro conditions.
Swing Highs and Lows Detector🔍 Swing Highs and Lows Detector
The Swing Highs and Lows Detector is a powerful tool for traders looking to identify meaningful structural shifts in price action, based on swing point logic and internal trend shifts.
📈 What It Does
This indicator automatically identifies and labels:
HH (Higher High) – Price broke above the previous swing high
LH (Lower High) – Price failed to break the previous high, signaling potential weakness
LL (Lower Low) – Price broke below the previous swing low
HL (Higher Low) – Price maintained a higher support level, indicating strength
The script distinguishes between bullish and bearish internal shifts and tracks the highest/lowest points between those shifts to determine the swing structure.
⚙️ How It Works
You can choose between two shift detection modes:
"Open": Compares closing price to the first open of the opposite streak
"High/Low": Uses the high of bearish or low of bullish candles
Once a shift is confirmed, the indicator scans the bars between shifts to find the most significant swing high or low
When a valid swing is detected, it’s labeled directly on the chart with color-coded markers
🛎️ Built-in Alerts
Set alerts for:
Higher High
Lower High
Lower Low
Higher Low
These alerts help you catch key structural shifts in real time — great for breakout traders, structure-based analysts, and smart money concepts (SMC) strategies.
✅ How to Use
Confirm Trend Strength or Reversals – Use HH/HL to confirm an uptrend, LL/LH to confirm a downtrend
Combine with Liquidity Sweeps or Zones – Ideal for SMC or Wyckoff-style setups
Entry/Exit Triggers – Use swing breaks to time entries or exits near key structural points
Order Blocks📈 Order Blocks Only (With Mitigation Alerts)
This indicator identifies bullish and bearish order blocks on your chart and alerts you when they are formed or mitigated . Order blocks are key institutional price levels where strong buying or selling has previously occurred, often leading to significant future price reactions.
🔍 How It Works:
-Bullish Order Block: Formed when price closes above the high of a recent bearish candle. This suggests buyers have taken control.
-Bearish Order Block: Formed when price closes below the low of a recent bullish candle. This signals seller dominance.
-Once an order block is formed, a box is drawn on the chart to highlight the zone.
-These boxes last for a user-defined number of bars (default is 20) and can be automatically removed when price mitigates (retests and closes beyond) the zone.
🛠 User Settings:
-Show Bullish Order Blocks – Toggle green zones on/off.
-Show Bearish Order Blocks – Toggle red zones on/off.
-Order Block Duration – How many bars the boxes should remain on the chart.
-Delete Mitigated Boxes – If enabled, mitigated zones are automatically removed.
-Custom Colors – Personalize the fill and border colors of bullish and bearish blocks.
🔔 Alerts:
This tool supports four built-in alert types:
-Bullish Order Block Formed
-Bearish Order Block Formed
-Bullish Order Block Mitigated
-Bearish Order Block Mitigated
Set these alerts to stay on top of key price reactions.
✅ How to Use It:
1. Apply the indicator to any chart and timeframe.
2. Watch for new order blocks to form after strong price breaks.
3. Use these zones as potential entry points, stop placement areas, or take profit zones.
4. Enable alerts to catch key institutional levels as they form or are retested.
Supply and Demand Zones🔍 Supply and Demand Zones
by The_Forex_Steward
This indicator automatically identifies Supply and Demand Zones based on aggregated synthetic candles, helping traders pinpoint potential reversal or breakout levels with clarity and precision.
🧠 How It Works:
This tool aggregates price data over a set number of candles (defined by the Aggregation Factor ) to create "synthetic candles" that smooth out noise and highlight significant institutional price activity. These candles are then analyzed to detect bullish or bearish order blocks , which are visualized as zones:
-Demand Zones (Green) : Formed when price breaks above the high of a previous bearish synthetic candle.
-Supply Zones (Red) : Formed when price breaks below the low of a previous bullish synthetic candle.
These areas often represent key institutional interest where price is likely to react.
⚙️ Key Features:
-Aggregation Factor : Groups candles to form larger, synthetic ones. Higher values smooth price and reduce noise.
-Custom Zone Length : Define how far zones extend forward (up to 500 bars).
-Mitigation Logic : Choose whether to auto-delete zones once price breaks through them.
-Visual Customization : Customize zone colors and borders to suit your charting style.
-Alerts : Get notified when new Supply or Demand zones are formed.
📈 How to Use It:
1. Trend Trading : Use zones as dynamic support/resistance to enter with trend pullbacks.
2. Reversals : Look for price reactions at untested zones for potential counter-trend setups.
3. Breakouts : Monitor for zone breaks that signal strong momentum or shifts in market structure.
4. Confluence : Combine with other indicators (like RSI or volume) for more robust trade setups.
🔔 Alerts:
Receive alerts when new demand or supply zones are formed so you can take action in real time.
✅ Recommended Settings:
For intraday trading : Use lower aggregation values (e.g., 3–5).
For swing/position trading : Higher values (e.g., 6–10) may give better structure.
Break-out DailyBreakout - with body - of yesterday's daily high or low.
With body we mean that the indicator only signals if the candle has closed above the high (Breakout - Long) or below the low (Breakout - Short).
This indicator can make mistakes such as not signaling a breakout or signaling it at the wrong level (this is because it is based on the highs/lows recorded in the daily candle, not the daily high/low in the reference timeframe).
I recommend always checking if the breakout has actually occurred.
I hope it will make it easier for you to read the charts and happy trading to everyone! :)
###################################################################################
Rottura strutturale - con corpo - del massimo o minimo giornaliero di ieri.
Con corpo si intende che l'indicatore segnala solo se la candela ha chiuso al di sopra del massimo(Break-out - Long) o al di sotto del minimo(Break-out - Short).
Questo indicatore può fare degli errori come non segnalare una rottura strutturale o segnalarla su un livello sbagliato(questo perché si basa sui massimi/minimi registrati nella candela giornaliera, non il massimo/minimo giornaliero nel timeframe di riferimento).
Consiglio di controllare sempre se effettivamente è avvenuta la rottura.
Spero che vi semplificherà la lettura dei grafici e buon trading a tutti! :)

“Who moved the market — and when?”
ZenAlgo - DominatorThis indicator provides a structured multi-ticker overview of market momentum and relative strength by analyzing short-term price behavior across selected assets in comparison with broader crypto dominance and Bitcoin/ETH performance.
Ticker and Market Data Handling
The script accepts up to 9 user-defined symbols (tickers) along with BTCUSD and ETHUSD. For each symbol:
It retrieves the current price.
It also requests the daily opening price from the "D" timeframe to compute intraday percentage change.
For BTC, ETH, and dominance (sum of BTC, USDT, and USDC dominance), daily change is calculated using this same method.
This comparison enables tracking relative performance from the daily open, which provides meaningful insight into intraday strength or weakness among different assets.
Dominance Logic
The indicator aggregates dominance data from BTC , USDT , and USDC using TradingView’s CRYPTOCAP indices. This combined dominance is used as a reference in directional and status calculations. ETH dominance is also analyzed independently.
Changes in dominance are used to infer whether market attention is shifting toward Bitcoin/stablecoins (typically indicating risk-off sentiment) or away from them (typically risk-on behavior, benefiting altcoins).
Price Direction Estimation
The script estimates directional bias using an EMA-based deviation technique:
A short EMA (user-defined lookback , default 4 bars) is calculated.
The current close is compared to the EMA to assess directional bias.
Recent candle changes are also inspected to confirm a consistent short-term trend (e.g., 3 consecutive higher closes for "up").
A small threshold is used to avoid classifying flat movements as trends.
This directionality logic is applied separately to:
The selected ticker's price
BTC price
Combined dominance
This allows the script to contextualize the movement of each asset within broader market conditions.
Market Status Evaluation
A custom function analyzes ETH and BTC dominance trends along with their relative strength to define the overall market regime:
Altseason is identified when BTC dominance is declining, ETH dominance rising, and ETH outperforms BTC.
BTC Season occurs when BTC dominance is rising, ETH dominance falling, and BTC outperforms ETH.
If neither condition is met, the state is Neutral .
This classification is shown alongside each ticker's row in the table and helps traders assess whether market conditions favor Bitcoin, Ethereum, or altcoins in general.
Ticker Status Classification
Each ticker is analyzed independently using the earlier directional logic. Its status is then determined as follows:
Full Bull : Ticker is trending up while dominance is declining or BTC is also rising.
Bullish : Ticker is trending up but not supported by broader bullish context.
Bearish : Ticker is trending down but without broader confirmation.
Full Bear : Ticker is trending down while dominance rises or BTC falls.
Neutral : No strong directional bias or conflicting context.
This classification reflects short-term momentum and macro alignment and is color-coded in the results table.
Table Display and Plotting
A configurable table is shown on the chart, which:
Displays the name and status of each selected ticker.
Optionally includes BTC, ETH, and market state.
Uses color-coding for intuitive interpretation.
Additionally, price changes from the daily open are plotted for each selected ticker, BTC, ETH, and combined dominance. These values are also labeled directly on the chart.
Labeling and UX Enhancements
Labels next to the current candle display price and percent change for each active ticker and for BTC, ETH, and combined dominance.
Labels update each bar, and old labels are deleted to avoid clutter.
Ticker names are dynamically shortened by stripping exchange prefixes.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool helps traders:
Spot early rotations between Bitcoin and altcoins.
Identify intraday momentum leaders or laggards.
Monitor which tickers align with or diverge from broader market trends.
Detect possible sentiment shifts based on dominance trends.
It is best used on lower to mid timeframes (15m–4h) to capture intraday to short-term shifts. Users should cross-reference with longer-term trend tools or structural indicators when making directional decisions.
Interpretation of Values
% Change : Measures intraday move from daily open. Strong positive/negative values may indicate breakouts or reversals.
Status : Describes directional strength relative to market conditions.
Market State : Gives a general bias toward BTC dominance, ETH strength, or altcoin momentum.
Limitations & Considerations
The indicator does not analyze liquidity or volume directly.
All logic is based on short-term movements and may produce false signals in ranging or low-volume environments.
Dominance calculations rely on external CRYPTOCAP indices, which may differ from exchange-specific flows.
Added Value Over Other Free Tools
Unlike basic % change tables or price overlays, this indicator:
Integrates dominance-based macro context into ticker evaluation.
Dynamically classifies market regimes (BTC season / Altseason).
Uses multi-factor logic to determine ticker bias, avoiding single-metric interpretation.
Displays consolidated information in a table and chart overlays for rapid assessment.
