The Indicator is Asset-Class Agnostic
The indicator measures relative strength from price action alone. It does not query order books, fundamentals, or any data outside the bars displayed on the chart. Any instrument that produces price bars produces a reading.
The same color logic applies regardless of asset class. Bright green is bright green on a forex chart, a crypto chart, a stock chart, and a commodity chart. Brand blue is brand blue everywhere. The 101-color palette is the same on every chart.
This means a reader who learns to interpret the indicator on one asset class can apply the same reading skills to any other asset class without retraining.
What Changes Between Asset Classes
What does differ between asset classes is the character of the price action itself. Forex pairs typically show tighter ranges and smaller percentage moves than crypto. Commodities trade on different session schedules than equities. Some asset classes trade essentially around the clock; others follow regional session hours.
The indicator's color reading reflects these differences naturally. A choppy forex pair shows extended transitional band time in the same way a choppy equity index does. A strong crypto rally shows sustained bright green in the same way a strong stock rally does. The patterns are the same; the substrate is different.
This consistency is the value of a strength-from-price reading. Knowing what bright green looks like on one chart means knowing what it looks like on every chart.
Worked Examples
Example 1. Equity
The chart shows the PHLX Semiconductor Index on a 1-minute scale across approximately six hours of intraday trading on May 27, 2026. Price moves from a peak near 12,900 through a sharp decline to a bottom near 12,640, recovers through brand blue and sustained green to a peak above 12,930, then pulls back to around 12,880. The indicator carries sustained green during the directional moves and transitional colors at the inflection points. The color reading on this equity index uses the same logic as any other asset: bright green during sustained strength, red during sustained weakness, transitional colors at the regime shifts.
Example 2. Crypto
The chart shows Bitcoin on a weekly scale across roughly six years from mid-2020 to May 2026. Price climbs from around 10,000 to a peak near 65,000 in late 2021, declines through 2022 to lows near 15,000, recovers and rallies to peaks above 125,000 in mid-2025, then declines to recent levels near 75,000. The indicator paints sustained bright green during the major rallies, red during the major declines, and transitional colors during the regime shifts. The same color logic that interprets equity index strength interprets crypto strength: bright green is strength regardless of the underlying asset.
Example 3. Forex
The chart shows the Euro / U.S. Dollar pair on a weekly scale across roughly six years from mid-2020 to May 2026. Price moves between approximately 0.95 and 1.24 across the visible window. The indicator carries sustained red through the long 2021-2022 decline, brand blue at the late-2022 bottom, sustained green through the 2022-2023 recovery, transitional colors during the 2023-2024 range, and green again during the 2024 rally. Forex pairs typically move in narrower percentage ranges than crypto or stocks, but the same color logic applies: the indicator describes the relative strength of the price action, not the absolute size of the moves.
Example 4. Commodity
The chart shows the Cocoa Cash Contract on a 15-minute scale across roughly twelve days from May 15 to May 27, 2026. Price declines from around 4,400 to a bottom near 3,720, oscillates through several days of mixed colors, then rallies sharply to a peak above 4,380 before settling near 4,220. The indicator carries red through the early decline, transitional colors through the multi-day base, and sustained bright green through the recovery rally. Soft commodities trade on different schedules than equities and crypto, with their own session structures, but the indicator's color reading applies the same way: directional strength in bright color, indecision in the transitional band.
