Analysis Explanation:
I’m forecasting that Bitcoin will retest its November 12th low (~$85,098.75) around January 20th, 2025, where the horizontal support line intersects with the downtrend line. This conclusion is based on the following:
Trend Analysis:
The chart shows a clear downtrend with price respecting the descending trendline.
The intersection of the horizontal support and the downtrend line on January 20th indicates a confluence point where price action may gravitate.
Volume and Activity Insights:
Using the Retail vs Institutional Activity indicator, the chart highlights periods dominated by institutional (red background) or retail (green background) activity.
Current price action is in a green zone, suggesting predominantly retail participation with lower volume and insignificant price movements.
Retail vs Institutional Dynamics:
Institutional activity (red zones) aligns with significant price movements and volume spikes, often marking key turning points or trends.
The recent green retail-dominated periods suggest a lack of strong momentum, which may lead to continued price decline until institutions re-enter around the confluence area.
Volume Observations:
Volume remains relatively low during the current retail phase, indicating weak buying pressure.
A potential surge in institutional activity (red zones) near the support level could trigger a rebound or breakdown.
I expect Bitcoin’s price to drop further and test the November 12th low near $85,098.75 on January 20th, 2025. This projection is supported by the convergence of the downtrend line and horizontal support, low retail-driven volume, and historical institutional activity patterns observed using the "Retail vs Institutional Activity" indicator.

BarbellFX ORBThe Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy is a popular day trading method that focuses on the first few minutes or hours of trading. Here's how it works:
The opening range is defined as a specific time period after the market opens (commonly the first 15-30 minutes)
Traders identify the high and low prices during this opening range
These prices become support and resistance levels
Trading signals are generated when the price breaks above or below these levels:
A breakout above the opening range high suggests going long
A break below the opening range low suggests going short
Multi-Band Comparison (Uptrend)Multi-Band Comparison
Overview:
The Multi-Band Comparison indicator is engineered to reveal critical levels of support and resistance in strong uptrends. In a healthy upward market, the price action will adhere closely to the 95th percentile line (the Upper Quantile Band), effectively “riding” it. This indicator combines a modified Bollinger Band (set at one standard deviation), quantile analysis (95% and 5% levels), and power‑law math to display a dynamic picture of market structure—highlighting a “golden channel” and robust support areas.
Key Components & Calculations:
The Golden Channel: Upper Bollinger Band & Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile
Upper Bollinger Band:
Calculation:
boll_upper=SMA(close,length)+(boll_mult×stdev)
boll_upper=SMA(close,length)+(boll_mult×stdev) Here, the 20-period SMA is used along with one standard deviation of the close, where the multiplier (boll_mult) is 1.0.
Role in an Uptrend:
In a healthy uptrend, price rides near the 95th percentile line. When price crosses above this Upper Bollinger Band, it confirms strong bullish momentum.
Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile (95th Percentile) Band:
Calculation:
quant_upper_std_up=quant_upper+stdev
quant_upper_std_up=quant_upper+stdev The Upper Quantile Band, quant_upperquant_upper, is calculated as the 95th percentile of recent price data. Adding one standard deviation creates an extension that accounts for normal volatility around this extreme level.
The Golden Channel:
When the price crosses above the Upper Bollinger Band, the Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile immediately shifts to gold (yellow) and remains gold until price falls below the Bollinger level. Together, these two lines form the “golden channel”—a visual hallmark of a healthy uptrend where the price reliably hugs the 95th percentile level.
Upper Power‑Law Band
Calculation:
The Upper Power‑Law Band is derived in two steps:
Determine the Extreme Return Factor:
power_upper=Percentile(returns,95%)
power_upper=Percentile(returns,95%) where returns are computed as:
returns=closeclose −1.
returns=close close−1.
Scale the Current Price:
power_upper_band=close×(1+power_upper)
power_upper_band=close×(1+power_upper)
Rationale and Correlation:
By focusing on the upper 5% of returns (reflecting “fat tails”), the Upper Power‑Law Band captures extreme but statistically expected movements. In an uptrend, its value often converges with the Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile because both measures reflect heightened volatility and extreme price levels. When the Upper Power‑Law Band exceeds the Upper Std Dev Band, it can signal a temporary overextension.
Upper Quantile Band (95% Percentile)
Calculation:
quant_upper=Percentile(price,95%)
quant_upper=Percentile(price,95%) This level represents where 95% of past price data falls below, and in a robust uptrend the price action practically rides this line.
Color Logic:
Its color shifts from a neutral (blackish) tone to a vibrant, bullish hue when the Upper Power‑Law Band crosses above it—signaling extra strength in the trend.
Lower Quantile and Its Support
Lower Quantile Band (5% Percentile):
Calculation:
quant_lower=Percentile(price,5%)
quant_lower=Percentile(price,5%)
Behavior:
In a healthy uptrend, price remains well above the Lower Quantile Band. It turns red only when price touches or crosses it, serving as a warning signal. Under normal conditions it remains bright green, indicating the market is not nearing these extreme lows.
Lower Std Dev Band of the Lower Quantile:
This line is calculated by subtracting one standard deviation from quant_lowerquant_lower and typically serves as absolute support in nearly all conditions (except during gap or near-gap moves). Its consistent role as support provides traders with a robust level to monitor.
How to Use the Indicator:
Golden Channel and Trend Confirmation:
As price rides the Upper Quantile (95th percentile) perfectly in a healthy uptrend, the Upper Bollinger Band (1 stdev above SMA) and the Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile form a “golden channel” once price crosses above the Bollinger level. When this occurs, the Upper Std Dev Band remains gold until price dips back below the Bollinger Band. This visual cue reinforces trend strength.
Power‑Law Insights:
The Upper Power‑Law Band, which is based on extreme (95th percentile) returns, tends to align with the Upper Std Dev Band. This convergence reinforces that extreme, yet statistically expected, price moves are occurring—indicating that even though the price rides the 95th percentile, it can only stretch so far before a correction or consolidation.
Support Indicators:
Primary and Secondary Support in Uptrends:
The Upper Bollinger Band and the Lower Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile act as support zones for minor retracements in the uptrend.
Absolute Support:
The Lower Std Dev Band of the Lower Quantile serves as an almost invariable support area under most market conditions.
Conclusion:
The Multi-Band Comparison indicator unifies advanced statistical techniques to offer a clear view of uptrend structure. In a healthy bull market, price action rides the 95th percentile line with precision, and when the Upper Bollinger Band is breached, the corresponding Upper Std Dev Band turns gold to form a “golden channel.” This, combined with the Power‑Law analysis that captures extreme moves, and the robust lower support levels, provides traders with powerful, multi-dimensional insights for managing entries, exits, and risk.

- The high and low swing points are labeled with exact prices, ensuring clarity.
- If the swing range is insufficient (less than five times ATR), Fibonacci levels are not displayed, avoiding irrelevant data.
⯌ Extended Fibonacci Levels :
User-defined extensions project Fibonacci levels into the future, aiding traders in planning price targets or projecting key zones.
⯌ Optimal Trend Entry Zone :
A filled area between 0.618 and 0.786 levels visually highlights the optimal entry zone for trend continuation. This allows traders to refine their entry points during pullbacks.
⯌ Diagonal Trend Line :
A dashed diagonal line connects the swing high and low, visually confirming the range and trend strength of the current swing.
⯌ Visual Labels for Fibonacci Levels :
Each Fibonacci level is marked with a label displaying its value for quick reference.
⯁ HOW TRADERS CAN POTENTIALLY USE THIS TOOL
Fibonacci Retracements:
Use the Fibonacci retracement levels to find key support or resistance zones where the price may pull back before continuing its trend.
Example: Enter long trades when the price retraces to 0.618–0.786 levels in an uptrend.
Fibonacci Extensions:
Use Fibonacci extensions to project future price targets based on the current trend's swing leg. Levels like 127.2% and 161.8% are commonly used as profit-taking zones.
Reversal Identification:
Spot potential reversals by monitoring price reactions at key Fibonacci retracement levels (e.g., 0.236 or 0.382) or the swing high/low.
Optimal Trend Entries:
The filled zone between 0.618 and 0.786 is a statistically strong area for entering a position in the direction of the trend.
Example: Enter long positions during retracements to this range in an uptrend.
Risk Management:
Set stop-losses below key Fibonacci levels or the swing low/high, and take profits at extension levels, enhancing your trade management strategies.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Fibonacci Trend Indicator is a straightforward yet effective tool for identifying trends and key Fibonacci levels. It simplifies analysis by integrating supertrend-based trend identification with Fibonacci retracements, extensions, and optimal entry zones. Whether you're a beginner or experienced trader, this indicator is an essential addition to your toolkit for trend trading, reversal spotting, and risk management.
2 MA Simplified Sideways Candle ColorsHow to Use the Indicator: A Simple Guide
This custom indicator colors candlesticks to help you quickly identify market conditions based on two moving averages (9-period and 21-period). Here’s how to get started:
Add the Indicator to Your Chart:
Copy the provided Pine Script code.
Open TradingView and navigate to the Pine Editor.
Paste the code into a new script, save it, and then add the indicator to your chart.
Understand the Candlestick Colors:
Green Candles (Bullish):
Indicates a bullish market when the price is above the 9-period SMA and the 9 SMA is above the 21 SMA.
Red Candles (Bearish):
Indicates a bearish market when the price is below the 21-period SMA and the 9 SMA is below the 21 SMA.
Yellow Candles (Sideways):
Indicates a sideways (neutral) market when:
Condition 1: Price is below the 9 SMA but above the 21 SMA, with the 9 SMA above the 21 SMA, or
Condition 2: The 9 SMA is below the 21 SMA, and the price lies between them.
White Candles (No Clear Signal):
Used when none of the above conditions apply.
Interpreting the Signals:
When you see green candles, the market is showing bullish momentum.
When you see red candles, bearish pressure is dominant.
Yellow candles suggest the market is moving sideways without a strong trend.
White candles mean that none of the specific conditions (bullish, bearish, or sideways) are currently met.
Chart Reference:
The script also plots two moving averages on your chart (a blue line for the 9-period SMA and an orange line for the 21-period SMA). These lines help visualize how price interacts with these averages.
Using the Indicator in Practice:
Once added to your chart, monitor the color of the candlesticks:
Green signals may be opportunities to consider long positions.
Red signals may indicate a good time to consider short positions or tighten stops.
Yellow signals suggest caution as the market isn’t trending strongly.
White candles indicate no strong signal, so it might be a period of consolidation or indecision.
This simple visual cue system allows you to quickly assess market sentiment and make more informed trading decisions based on the relationship between price and the two moving averages.

PGO For Loop | mad_tiger_slayerPGO For Loop Indicator
The PGO For Loop indicator, inspired by Alex Orekhov's "Pretty Good Oscillator," and indicator originally made by Mark Johnson, the PGO designed as a fast and responsive tool to capture quick price movements in financial markets. This oscillator leverages a combination of moving averages and Average True Range (ATR) to measure price deviations, providing a concise yet powerful framework for identifying potential trade entry and exit points. What makes this
"enhanced" PGO indicator special is its ability to identify trending periods more accurately. By using thresholds, this allows the script to enter accurate long and short conditions extremely quickly.
Intended Uses:
Used to capture long-term trends:
Used to identify quick reversals:
Used on higher timeframes above 8hrs for more accurate signals
Used in strategies to enter and exit trades quickly
Can be used for Scalping
NOT Intended Uses:
Not to be used as Mean Reversion
Not to be used as valuation (Overbought or Oversold)
Key Features:
Quick Detection of Market Movements:
The indicator's primary focus is on speed, making it suitable for medium-term traders looking to capitalize on rapid price changes. It is particularly effective in trending or volatile markets.
Customizable Thresholds:
Users can set upper and lower thresholds to define long and short conditions, offering flexibility to adapt the indicator to different trading styles and asset classes.
Noisy but Purposeful:
While the PGO For Loop may generate frequent signals, it is specifically tuned for traders aiming to enter and exit trades quickly, embracing the noise as part of its effectiveness in capturing rapid market dynamics.
Integrated Visuals:
The script plots key levels and provides dynamic visual feedback through colored candles and shapes, enabling intuitive and quick decision-making.
How It Works:
Oscillator Calculation:
The PGO value is derived by comparing the source price's deviation from its moving average to the ATR. This highlights price movements relative to recent volatility.
Signal Identification:
When the oscillator exceeds the upper threshold, it signals potential long opportunities UNTIL the PGO reaches the lower threshold.
When the oscillator drops below the lower threshold, it signals potential short opportunities UNTIL the oscillator reaches above the upper threshold.
No signals occur when the oscillator lies between these thresholds.
Visual Cues:
Color-coded candles indicate market bias (green for long, red for short, gray for neutral).
Upward and downward triangles highlight changes in signal direction.
Note:
This indicator is intentionally "noisy," as it prioritizes capturing fast movements over filtering out minor fluctuations. Users should pair it with other tools or techniques to confirm signals and manage risk effectively.
Williams POIV By King OsamaWilliams POIV Indicator
By King Osama
The Williams POIV (Price and Open Interest From COT Data) is a technical indicator designed to combine price movement with open interest data to provide valuable insights into market strength and sentiment. By integrating price changes and open interest (a measure of market participation), the indicator aims to detect shifts in market dynamics and highlight potential turning points.
The Williams POIV works by calculating the relationship between price changes and the true range, combined with open interest data, to generate a composite value that reflects the accumulation or distribution of market positions. This gives traders a deeper understanding of market trends and potential reversals.
Key Features:
Price and Open Interest Integration: Merges price movements with open interest data to assess market strength.
Market Sentiment Insights: Helps identify periods of accumulation or distribution, offering a clearer picture of market conditions.
Trend Analysis: Can be used to spot divergences and potential trend reversals.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to analyze the interplay between price movements and open interest, offering enhanced insight into market trends and price action.
[MAD] Weighted Trend Detector--> Purpose
The Weighted Trend Detector evaluates market direction by combining multiple technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Moving Averages, ADX, and Volume) across up to three different timeframes.
It calculates an overall trend score to help visualize whether conditions are bullish, bearish, or neutral.
--> Scaling & Weightings
Each component indicator contributes a score between -1.0 and +1.0. User-defined weights (e.g., 0.2 for RSI, 0.3 for MACD) determine how much each indicator influences the final score. An adaptive scaling mechanism ensures extreme values remain in view by dynamically setting the minimum and maximum of the score range over a specified lookback period.
--> Basic Parameters of Individual Indicators
RSI Period: Number of bars for the Relative Strength Index calculation; higher values smooth out noise but may lag.
MACD Fast/Slow/Signal: EMA-based periods to identify momentum shifts. A shorter “Fast” length reacts quickly, while a longer “Slow” length is smoother.
Moving Averages (Short & Long Lengths): Simple Moving Averages used to gauge shorter- vs. longer-term price direction.
ADX Length: Defines how many bars are considered when measuring trend strength. Higher values produce smoother ADX lines.
Volume MA Length: Period over which the average volume is calculated to compare against current volume.
--> Colors & How They Are Mixed
The background color scales from a negative color (for lower scores) to a positive color (for higher scores).
Near the highest or lowest parts of the score range, additional blending occurs if the slope (change in score) reverses:
Turning Down: Mixes with a user-chosen “warning” color if the score is high but moving lower.
Turning Up: Mixes with a user-chosen “recovery” color if the score is low but moving higher.
All colors (including line and label text) can be adjusted in the script’s inputs to suit personal preferences.colors are customizable via inputs.
Have fun :-)

Improved Trend Shot | JeffreyTimmermansImproved Trend Shot
The "Improved Trend Shot" is an advanced trend-following tool that integrates cutting-edge features and the principles of John Ehlers’ SuperSmoother Filter to provide traders with more accurate trend detection and better decision-making. This enhanced version includes multiple smoothing types, customizable lengths, dynamic alerts, and a comprehensive dashboard to help traders quickly interpret market conditions.
This script is inspired by "TRW" . However, it is more advanced and includes additional features and options.
Key Features and Improvements
Smoothed Lines and Trend Detection
The core of the Improved Smooth Trend Shot relies on three key lines to capture market momentum:
Fast Line: Highly sensitive to short-term price changes, offering rapid responsiveness to market movements.
Middle Line: Provides a medium-term view of market trends, acting as a more stable reference.
Slow Line: Focuses on long-term trends, offering a broader perspective on market direction.
These three smoothed lines interact dynamically to create a visual color-coded cloud that helps traders easily interpret market conditions:
Green Cloud: Indicates an upward trend when the Fast line is above the Slow line.
Red Cloud: Signals a downward trend when the Fast line is below the Slow line.
The cloud color adjusts based on the relative positioning of the Fast, Middle, and Slow lines, helping traders to identify bullish or bearish trends with ease.
Dynamic Cloud Visualization and Alerts
The cloud and trend lines adapt to market conditions, updating in real-time to reflect changes in trend strength and momentum. Traders can also set up real-time alerts to notify them of important trend shifts, such as:
Fast and Slow Crossovers: Alerts when the Fast line crosses the Slow line.
Middle and Slow Crossovers: Alerts when the Middle line crosses the Slow line.
This makes it easier to capture trading opportunities and respond promptly to market changes.
Enhanced Smoothing Options
Traders can now choose from multiple smoothing types, including:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average)
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
Each smoothing type has different properties, allowing traders to select the best fit for their trading style. The smoothing length can also be customized, offering flexibility in fine-tuning how sensitive or stable the trend lines should be.
Improved Signal Logic and Precision

Trend Detection: The color-coded cloud and the relative positions of the Fast, Middle, and Slow lines help visualize whether the trend is bullish or bearish.
Rising and Falling Indicators: The indicator also checks if each line is rising or falling over the last three bars, offering early signals of momentum shifts.
Dashboard Insights
The dashboard provides real-time updates on the positions and movements of the smoothed lines:
Line Positions: Displays the positions of the Fast, Middle, and Slow lines.
Trend Direction: Shows whether each line is rising or falling.
Price Levels: Displays the price levels for each of the smoothed lines, offering clear reference points for market evaluation.
These features help traders better understand the state of the market, offering valuable insights for both trend-following and reversal-based strategies.
Crossovers and Signal Triggers
The Improved Smooth Trend Shot focuses on crossovers between the different smoothed lines as primary trading signals. There are two types of crossovers:
Fast Shots: This occurs when the Fast line crosses the Slow line.
Slow Shots: This occurs when the Middle line crosses the Slow line.
These crossovers serve as key entry or exit points for traders, helping them spot potential trend reversals. The improved logic ensures that crossovers are accurately detected, reducing the chances of false signals.
Customization Options
The Improved Smooth Trend Shot offers a high degree of customization:
Smoothing Length: Adjust the smoothing period to balance between fast responses and stable trends.
Source Selection: Default to the average of high and low prices (hl2), or choose other price sources.
Smoothing Type: Select from EMA, SMA, DEMA, or WMA for personalized trend analysis.
Signal Type: Choose between Fast Shots or Slow Shots based on the type of crossover you want to focus on.
Long, Medium, and Short-Term Applications
Although the default settings are optimized for long-term trend analysis, the Improved Smooth Trend Shot is highly adaptable. By adjusting the smoothing length and selecting different smoothing types, traders can use the tool for:
Short-Term Trading: Focus on fast responses to market shifts using shorter smoothing periods.

JJ Highlight Time Ranges with First 5 Minutes and LabelsTo effectively use this Pine Script as a day trader , here’s how the various elements can help you manage trades, track time sessions, and monitor price movements:
Key Components for a Day Trader:
1. First 5-Minute Highlight:
- Purpose: Day traders often rely on the first 5 minutes of the trading session to gauge market sentiment, watch for opening price gaps, or plan entries. This script draws a horizontal line at the high or low of the first 5 minutes, which can act as a key level for the rest of the day.
- How to Use: If the price breaks above or below the first 5-minute line, it can signal momentum. You might enter a long position if the price breaks above the first 5-minute high or a short if it breaks below the first 5-minute low.
2. Session Time Highlights:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM): The market often shows its strongest price action during the first hour of trading. This session is highlighted in yellow. You can use this highlight to focus on the most volatile period, as this is when large institutional moves tend to occur.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM): The blue highlight helps you track the mid-afternoon session, where liquidity may decrease, and price action can sometimes be choppier. Day traders should be more cautious during this period.
- How to Use: By highlighting these key times, you can:
- Focus on key breakouts during the morning session.
- Be more conservative in your trades during the afternoon, as market volatility may drop.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Top/Bottom Positioning: The script places labels dynamically based on the selected position (Top or Bottom). This allows you to quickly glance at the session's start and identify where you are in terms of time.
- How to Use: Use these labels to remind yourself when major time segments (morning or afternoon) begin. You can adjust your trading strategy depending on the session, e.g., being more aggressive in the morning and more cautious in the afternoon.
Trading Strategy Suggestions:
1. Momentum Trades:
- After the first 5 minutes, use the high/low of that period to set up breakout trades.
- Long Entry: If the price breaks the high of the first 5 minutes (especially if there's a strong trend).
- Short Entry: If the price breaks the low of the first 5 minutes, signaling a potential downtrend.
2. Session-Based Strategy:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM):
- Look for strong breakout patterns such as support/resistance levels, moving average crossovers, or candlestick patterns (like engulfing candles or pin bars).
- This is a high liquidity period, making it ideal for executing quick trades.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM):
- The market tends to consolidate or show less volatility. Scalping and mean-reversion strategies work better here.
- Avoid chasing big moves unless you see a clear breakout in either direction.
3. Support and Resistance:
- The first 5-minute high/low often acts as a key support or resistance level for the rest of the day. If the price holds above or below this level, it’s an indication of trend continuation.
4. Breakout Confirmation:
- Look for breakouts from the highlighted session time ranges (e.g., 9:15 AM–10:30 AM or 12:30 PM–2:55 PM).
- If a breakout happens during a key time window, combine that with other technical indicators like volume spikes , RSI , or MACD for confirmation.
---
Example Day Trader Usage:
1. First 5 Minutes Strategy: After the market opens at 9:15 AM, watch the price action for the first 5 minutes. The high and low of these 5 minutes are critical levels. If the price breaks above the high of the first 5 minutes, it might indicate a strong bullish trend for the day. Conversely, breaking below the low may suggest bearish movement.
2. Morning Session: After the first 5 minutes, focus on the **9:15 AM–10:30 AM** window. During this time, look for breakout setups at key support/resistance levels, especially when paired with high volume or momentum indicators. This is when many institutions make large trades, so price action tends to be more volatile and predictable.
3. Afternoon Session: From 12:30 PM–2:55 PM, the market might experience lower volatility, making it ideal for scalping or range-bound strategies. You could look for reversals or fading strategies if the market becomes too quiet.
Conclusion:
As a day trader, you can use this script to:
- Track and react to key price levels during the first 5 minutes.
- Focus on high volatility in the morning session (9:15–10:30 AM) and **be cautious** during the afternoon.
- Use session-based timing to adjust your strategies based on the time of day.
