Signal
A directional bias (Bullish, Neutral, or Bearish) generated by our automated analysis. Signals indicate the likely near-term direction of an asset or category.
Bias
The directional lean of an asset based on technical indicators. Bullish = likely to rise, Bearish = likely to fall, Neutral = no clear direction.
Confluence
When multiple independent indicators agree on direction. Our system uses 3-indicator confluence: Trend + Volume + Strength. Higher confluence = stronger signal.
Macro Context
The broader market environment that affects all assets. Includes risk sentiment (Risk-On/Risk-Off), VIX volatility, dollar strength (DXY), and geopolitical factors.
Risk-On
Market conditions favoring risky assets (stocks, crypto). Characterized by low VIX, weak dollar, and optimistic sentiment. Growth assets tend to outperform.
Risk-Off
Market conditions favoring safe-haven assets (bonds, gold, USD, JPY). Characterized by high VIX, strong dollar, fear in markets. Defensive positioning recommended.
Fear & Greed Index
A 0-100 sentiment indicator for crypto. Extreme Fear (<25) often signals buying opportunities. Extreme Greed (>75) often precedes corrections. We use it as a contrarian signal.
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
A momentum oscillator measuring recent price changes. RSI > 70 = overbought (potential pullback). RSI < 30 = oversold (potential bounce). Used in our Strength indicator.
20-Day Moving Average (MA20)
The average price over the last 20 trading days. Price above MA20 = uptrend. Price below MA20 = downtrend. Core component of our Trend indicator.
Volume
The number of shares/coins traded. High volume confirms price moves (conviction). Low volume suggests weak moves (likely to reverse). Our second independent indicator.
Funding Rate
In crypto perpetual futures, the rate paid between longs and shorts. Positive = longs pay shorts (crowded long, bearish signal). Negative = shorts pay longs (crowded short, bullish signal).
DXY (Dollar Index)
Measures the US Dollar against a basket of currencies. Rising DXY = strong dollar = typically bearish for risk assets. Key forex macro indicator.
VIX (Volatility Index)
The 'fear gauge' measuring expected S&P 500 volatility. VIX > 25 = elevated fear. VIX > 35 = crisis levels. Low VIX = complacency (can precede corrections).
Yield Curve (2Y-10Y Spread)
The difference between 10-year and 2-year Treasury yields. Inverted (negative) = recession warning. Normal (positive) = healthy economy. Key macro regime indicator.
Market Regime
The current market phase based on volatility, sentiment, and economic indicators. Regimes include: Normal, Stressed, Crisis, Apathy. Different strategies work in different regimes.
