Ethereum: Price Action Integral Bands

6 août 2020

This indicator tries to display absolute tops and bottoms for Ethereum. The price action gets integrated with three custom functions resulting in the blue top, green mid and red bottom price action integrals. From those integral values we allow 5% deviation in up and down direction, leading to price action integral bands of some non-zero width.

Even during the liquidity crisis in March 2020 with abnormal price movements, Ethereum had no daily or weekly candle close below the support band. For longer-term trades it might be a good idea to buy ETH when price is around the red band, and temporarily sell/go short when ETH is around the blue band, although this is no financial advice and one should always cross-check with other indicators/informations.

The green mid price action integral band indicates bullish/bearish zones. When price is located above the green band, the market is in a bullish environment, if price lies below it, the market is in a bearish environment.

There's the option to plot or hide the bands individually.

These integral bands are specifically designed for the Ethereum (ETHUSD) Kraken ticker on daily (D) or weekly (W) timeframe (the indicator automatically adjusts for both those timeframes). For other assets, tickers and timeframes the functionality of this indicator cannot be guaranteed and will most probably not deliver meaningful results. If you want to use the integral bands for Bitcoin, please see my other indicator titled 'Bitcoin: Price Action Integral Bands'.

Updated the mid integral band. Also after review I would recommend to use the daily (D) timeframe for this indicator, as it seems to be more accurate there (better integrating due to finer price action data I assume).

Notes de version

Tweaked the top integral band to better fit to the general market data (as the 2018 ATH price of the Kraken ETH/USD pair was an outlier compared to other order books).

Added two more integral bands for finer trading opportunities: a turquoise top-mid band, and an orange bottom-mid band.

Added a full array of bands for many additional trading opportunities, and especially for a mapping of the parabolic fallout following a bullrun. The idea would be to trade the next parabolic fallout roughly as depicted in the chart below (marked are the relative increases/decreases of each broader move during the fallout):



Depending on how this indicator is used, the set up of stop losses is recommended in case no reversal happens at certain bands.
