Bearish Wick Reversal█ STRATEGY OVERVIEW
The "Bearish Wick Reversal Strategy" identifies potential bullish reversals following significant bearish price rejection (long lower wicks). This counter-trend approach enters long positions when bearish candles show exaggerated downside wicks relative to closing prices, then exits on bullish confirmation signals. Includes optional EMA trend filtering for improved reliability.
█ What is a Bearish Wick?
A price rejection pattern where:
Bearish candle (close < open) forms with extended lower wick
Wick represents failed selloff: Low drops significantly below close
Measured as: (Low - Close)/Close × 100 (Negative percentage indicates downward extension)
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY CONDITION
Bearish candle forms with close < open
Lower wick exceeds user-defined threshold (Default: -1% of close price)
The signal occurs within the specified time window
If enabled, the close price must also be above the 200-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the current closing price exceeds the highest high of the previous seven bars (`close > _highest `). This indicates that the price has shown strength, potentially confirming the reversal and prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Ideal Market: Volatile instruments with frequent price rejections
Key Risk: False signals in sustained bearish trends
Optimization Tip: Test various thresholds
Filter Impact: EMA reduces trades but improves win rate and reduces drawdown

The "Gap Down Reversal Strategy" capitalizes on price recovery patterns following bearish gap-down openings. This mean-reversion approach enters long positions on confirmed intraday recoveries and exits when prices breach previous session highs. This strategy is NOT optimized.
█ What is a Gap Down Reversal?
A gap down reversal occurs when:
An instrument opens significantly below its prior session's low (price gap)
Selling pressure exhausts itself during the session
Buyers regain control, pushing price back above the opening level
Creates a candlestick with:
• Open < Prior Session Low (true gap)
• Close > Open (bullish reversal candle)
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY CONDITION
Previous candle closes BELOW its opening price (bearish candle)
Current session opens BELOW prior candle's low (gap down)
Current candle closes ABOVE its opening price (bullish reversal)

MTF Fractal Bias Confluence DetectorMTF Fractal Bias Confluence Detector
This indicator, the MTF Fractal Bias Confluence Detector, is based on the idea that the market exhibits fractal behaviour. The origin of the idea traces back to 1963, when Benoit Mandelbrot analyzed the fluctuations in cotton prices over a time series starting in 1900, discovering that price changes exhibited scale-invariant patterns. This means that the curve representing daily price changes mirrored the shape of monthly price changes, highlighting the fractal nature of market behaviour. When applied to swing points across multiple timeframes (MTF), this concept suggests that swing points demonstrate similar patterns regardless of the timeframe being analyzed. These self-similar fractal structures provide traders with insights into market reversals and trends, making them a powerful tool for multi-timeframe analysis.
A Swing Point is made up of three main parts: a move away from the last Break level; forming a peak (pivot point) with a Fakeout of the peak (explained through an example later); and a subsequent move away from it. These swing points recur across all timeframes as part of cyclical momentum patterns, meaning each swing point gives rise to a new cycle of market movement. Due to the fractal nature of the market, larger cycles encompass multiple smaller ones.
The theory behind the Fractal Bias Confluence Detector utilizes the idea that the market movements are fractal in nature and illustrates how such swing points can be identified across MTFs. To do so, we examine the Peak Fakeouts within these cycles, as they form. It is not possible to know in advance how long each of these moves will last, but a Swing Point will often occur with a Peak Fakeout. Therefore, the most critical element is to identify the Peak Fakeout.
The snapshot below captures a Peak Fakeout, as discussed earlier.
Similarly, the following snapshot shows various possible breakdowns of Higher Time Frame (HTF) cycles into smaller Lower Time Frame (LTF) movements. The chart contains a white table(not part of the indicator and shown for illustration purposes only).
To further illustrate. Consider the combination of Time Frames (TF) from the 2nd row (from the above snapshot). Cycle TF (1M), Setup TF (1W), Momentum TF (1D) etc.
Price movements in the 1M TF highlight the direction in which HTF traders are pushing the market. Often, when markets have broken out of a level, they tend to form a peak and can then pull back towards the prior breakout level. Once the pullback is beyond the last breakout level, in the opposite direction, we may say the peak formation is created, and directional bias has changed. This is also called Peak Fakeout. Due to the fractal nature of the market, Swing Points on the HTF will often constitute multiple Swing Points on the LTF, though they are not always in sync. However, after such peak formation, there is a high probability that the price might move away from the peak for at least 1 candle (in the cycle TF). This theory illustrates that once a new cycle is in play, we can then look at 1W (Setup TF) to look for possible in-sync movements, at least within that 1 candle of the HTF. Repeating the same for further lower TFs, we may arrive at a confluence of Fractal Bias and see how the movements in LTF are driven by the HTF momentum.
Another example within the chart:
Note: The above examples are just for illustration purposes, and other permutations and combinations of movements across multiple TFs are also possible.
This indicator aims to help users identify such fractal-bias-confluences, so that they can leverage the fractal nature of the market to get a holistic view. To do so, the indicator displays how the market has moved across multiple time frames, with respect to different historical levels.
Features:
1. The bias summary table

"IN" , " Acronym for an inside candle (never broke high or low of perv candle)",
"OT" , " Acronym for an outside candle (broke both high and low of previous candle and closing price is in between previous high and low)".
Note: these acronyms are customizable according to the user's choice of terminology in any language, as shown in the snapshot below.
1.1.1 In the above snapshot, the 1st row, called "Current", shows how the current candle is evolving with respect to the previous one. The "previous" row shows how the previous candle closed with respect to the pre-previous one. The next two rows represent the bias of the pre-previous and pre-pre-previous in a similar manner. By default, the bias is updated in real-time, even for the already closed historical candles. For example, if the previous 4H candle closed as a B/H and the current price then comes below the pre-previous 4H candle high, then the bias of the previous candle will get updated to F/H. This informs the user that the break above the pre-previous high has failed. However, the user has the option to turn this off. The information in these four rows shows the user how the market is moving currently and how it evolved before reaching the current price levels.
Note: The calculation done by the indicator is to keep track of how the price is moving with respect to the last candle levels in real-time. This means if the price first goes above the previous high and then goes below the previous low, the indicator is equipped to display what happened in the most recent time. The snapshot below shows the option to turn on/off such updates in the bias summary table.
Note: While the bias summary table is turned on, the user also has the option to turn off Prev and Prev rows, as shown in the snapshot below.
1.1.2 The 2nd to last row, called CL/CS(Consecutive Long/Short), shows whether consecutive (2+) breaks of high/low happened or not in one direction without taking out the previous candle's range in the opposite direction. When conditions are met, it will show the number of times the price has been pushed in one direction (in the above manner), followed by "L" for long and "S" for short, for each TF, for example, "4L". It gets updated in real-time for each push in the same direction. Furthermore, a good analogy of "4L" on an HTF is 4 consecutive Break of Structure (BOS) (in the same direction) on LTF, without a Change of Character (CHoCH). Another example would be Stacey Burke's 3 consecutive rises that can be mapped in the indicator, if the conditions are met for "3L" for a given TF.
1.1.3 The last row, FRC/FGC, stands for the first red/green candle. It shows whether the last candle of a TF has closed as green (i.e., close>open) after posting two red candles (i.e., close<open). This helps understand possible short-term retracements in price movements.
1.2 Customizability
1.2.1 We provide a wide range of customizable options, including multiple time frames to choose from for each type of TFs. This is shown in the snapshot below.
1.2.2 All the acronyms on the summary table are customizable and can be user-defined, including text, background color and transparency. This is shown in the snapshot below.
2. High-low lines
2.1 We also show the high and low of various TFs, including the current high and low lines (which are updated in real-time. This can be observed in one of the previous snapshots.
2.2 Previous high, low and close lines can be extended (for Cycles, Setups and Momentum TFs). Their style and thickness are also customizable. This can be observed in one of the previous snapshots.
Note: The user has the option to turn all the lines off. Sub-options include turning off the current line only. Changing the color, thickness, and transparency of the lines. This can be observed in one of the previous snapshots.
3. Last known Break / Failed Break lines.
3.1 We also depict the last known Break and Failed break lines for the user to have all the important levels at their disposal. This can be observed in one of the previous snapshots.
Note: The user has the option to turn this on/off.
4. Magnifier Box
4.1 We have provided the user to look at thirty 1m candles inside a magnifier box while they are in a higher TF chart.
The user has the option to turn this on/off.
5. Moving Averages (MA)
We have also grouped some built-in MA options for the user to utilize along with other elements of the indicator to help them get another layer of confluence.
The user has the option to turn this on/off.

Integrated Market Analysis IndicatorThe Integrated Market Analysis Indicator is designed to provide traders with a macro perspective on market conditions, focusing on the S&P 500 (SPX) and market volatility (VIX), to assist in swing trading decisions. This script integrates various technical indicators and market health metrics to generate scores that help in assessing the overall market trend, potential breakout opportunities, and mean reversion scenarios. It is tailored for traders who wish to align their individual stock or index trades with broader market movements.
Functionality:
Trend Analysis: The script analyzes the trend of the S&P 500 using moving averages (5-day SMA, 10-day EMA, 20-day EMA) to determine whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or neutral state. This provides a foundation for understanding the general market direction.
Volatility Assessment: It uses the VIX to gauge market volatility, which is crucial for risk management. The script calculates thresholds based on the 20-day SMA of the VIX to categorize the market volatility into low, medium, or high.
Market Breadth: The advance/decline ratio (A/D ratio) from the USI:ADVQ and USI:DECLQ indices gives an indication of market participation, helping to understand if the market movement is broad-based or led by a few stocks.
Scoring System: Three scores are calculated:
Trend Score: Evaluates the market trend in conjunction with volume, market breadth, and VIX to assign a grade from 'A' to 'D'.
Breakout Score: Assesses potential breakout conditions by looking at price action relative to dynamic support/resistance levels, short-term momentum, and volume.
Mean Reversion Score: Identifies conditions where mean reversion might occur, based on price movement, volume, and high VIX levels, indicating potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Risk Management: Position sizing recommendations are provided based on VIX levels and the calculated scores, aiming to adjust exposure according to market conditions.
How to Use the Script:
Application: Apply this indicator on any stock or index chart in TradingView. Since it uses data from SPX and VIX, the scores will reflect the macro environment regardless of the underlying chart.
Interpreting Scores:
Trend Score: Use this to gauge the overall market direction. An 'A' score might suggest a strong uptrend, making it a good time for bullish trades, while a 'D' could indicate a bearish environment.
Breakout Score: Look for 'A' scores when considering trades that aim to capitalize on breakouts. A 'B' might suggest a less certain breakout, requiring more caution.
Mean Reversion Score: A 'B' or 'A' here might be a signal to look for trades where you expect the price to revert to the mean after an extreme move.
Risk Management: Use the suggested position sizes ('Normal Size', '1/3 Size', '1/4 Size', '1/10 Size') to manage your risk exposure. Higher VIX levels or lower scores suggest reducing position sizes to mitigate risk.
Visual Cues: The script plots various SMAs, EMAs, and dynamic support/resistance levels, providing visual indicators of where the market might find support or resistance, aiding in entry and exit decisions.
How NOT to Use the Script:
Not for Intraday Trading: This indicator is designed for swing trading, focusing on daily or longer timeframes. Using it for intraday trading might not provide the intended insights due to its macro focus.
Avoid Over-reliance: While the script provides valuable insights, do not rely solely on it for trading decisions. Always consider additional analysis, news, and fundamental data.
Do Not Ignore Individual Stock Analysis: Although the script gives a macro view, individual stock analysis is crucial. The macro conditions might suggest a trend, but stock-specific factors could contradict this.
Not for High-Frequency Trading: The script's logic and the data it uses are not optimized for high-frequency trading strategies where microsecond decisions are made.
Misinterpretation of Scores: Do not misinterpret the scores as absolute signals. They are guidelines that should be part of a broader trading strategy.
Logic Explanation:
Moving Averages: The script uses different types of moving averages to smooth out price data, providing a clearer view of the trend over short to medium-term periods.
ATR for Volatility: The Average True Range (ATR) is used to calculate dynamic support and resistance levels, giving a sense of how much price movement can be expected, which helps in setting realistic expectations for price action.
VIX for Risk: By comparing current VIX levels to its 20-day SMA, the script assesses market fear or complacency, adjusting risk exposure accordingly.
Market Breadth: The A/D ratio helps to understand if the market movement is supported by a broad base of stocks or if it's narrow, which can influence the reliability of the trend.
This indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, providing a macro overlay to your trading decisions, ensuring you're not fighting against the broader market trends or volatility conditions. Remember, while it can guide your trading, always integrate it with other forms of analysis for a well-rounded approach.

Daily ATR Levels - Vishal SubandhThe following script visualizes the ATR High and ATR Low levels based on the previous day’s closing price. The Average True Range (ATR) indicates how much a stock is likely to move—upward or downward—on a given day, providing insight into its intraday volatility. Additionally, the script calculates and displays the daily ATR as a percentage, with specific levels marked at 60% and 80%.
These percentage levels are plotted for both the high and low ranges, offering a framework to analyze potential price movements. In the context of a strong trend, prices often extend to the 80% or even 100% ATR level before showing signs of reversal. Such behavior is observed during pronounced uptrends or downtrends. Conversely, during weaker trends, price reversals may occur at the 60% ATR levels.
It is recommended to use this analysis in conjunction with other tools, such as support and resistance levels or demand and supply zones, for a more comprehensive approach to trading.
DCA Alpha 1.0 Trading Tool for Dollar-Cost Averaging
Description:
DCA Alpha 1.0 is a precision-engineered trading tool designed to assist traders and investors in accumulating assets during market downturns. Using proprietary algorithms that combine momentum decay, extreme price deviation metrics, trend dynamics, divergence analysis, and mean regression, it identifies potential bottom extreme zones in various asset classes such as indices, stocks, crypto, and commodities.
This indicator highlights market conditions where assets are oversold, undervalued, or experiencing capitulation—providing disciplined, unleveraged dollar-cost averaging (DCA) opportunities. Ideal for long-term growth strategies, DCA Alpha 1.0 helps cut through market noise, pinpointing moments of peak fear and maximum reward potential.
Whether navigating volatile crypto markets, timing corrections in indices, or accumulating commodities, DCA Alpha 1.0 serves as a vital tool for mastering the art of buying low and building your assets up strategically.
Instructions:
Getting Started:
Add the Indicator:
Install DCA Alpha 1.0 on your TradingView chart.
Select your preferred asset class: stocks, indices, crypto, or commodities.
Choose an appropriate timeframe (e.g., daily or weekly for long-term DCA strategies).
Customize Inputs: Adjust the following settings to align with your strategy:
Percentage of Equity to Trade: Define the portion of your portfolio to allocate per signal (default: 1% equity).
Profit Target Percentages: Set thresholds for locking in gains (default: 50% on lower timeframes, 500% on higher timeframes).
Zones and Signals:
Extreme Negative Zones:
What It Represents:
These zones highlight conditions where prices are deeply oversold, indicating extreme bearish sentiment. The market is likely nearing a bottom, offering high-probability buying opportunities.
Entry Signals:
When the price enters these extreme negative zones, visual markers (e.g., green triangles or other indicators) will signal a potential buying opportunity. These moments are indicative of market exhaustion, signaling that a reversal could be imminent.
Momentum Decay & Divergence:
Momentum decay occurs when price movement slows over time. In extreme negative zones, if prices continue to fall but at a diminishing rate (e.g., decreased volume or a fading oscillator), it suggests weakening bearish momentum. This, coupled with bullish divergence (oscillator forming higher lows while price makes lower lows), signifies a reversal, making it an ideal point to consider dollar-cost averaging into the asset.
Neutral Zones:
What It Represents:
The neutral zone is a state of market equilibrium, where prices are neither overbought nor oversold. The market is in a balanced state, with no strong trend emerging.
Mean Regression:
In a neutral zone, the market is reverting to its mean or average price after overreacting in either direction. A price transition from extreme zones (overbought/oversold) to the neutral zone suggests a reversion to the market's long-term average, making this a period of reduced volatility and uncertainty.
Entering or Exiting Neutral Zones:
Traders should avoid entering or exiting positions during neutral zone conditions unless transitioning from an extreme zone (negative or positive). Transitioning from an extreme negative zone to neutral may suggest an opportunity to accumulate assets gradually, while a shift from neutral to an extreme negative zone may indicate a deeper correction and warrant caution.
Momentum Decay & Divergence (Exiting Neutral Zone):
If prices are rising but the oscillator shows lower highs (bearish divergence), and momentum is fading, this could signal a pullback. A transition out of the neutral zone in this context may prompt traders to hold off on new positions or consider profit-taking.
Extreme Positive Zones:
What It Represents:
Markets can also become overbought or overvalued. When price enters extreme positive zones, the asset may be overvalued, suggesting potential selling or a waiting period.
Exit Signals:
Red triangle indicators signal potential exit points when prices reach overbought conditions, signaling a time to lock in profits and reduce exposure.
Momentum Decay & Divergence (Exiting Positive Zone):
When prices are making new highs but momentum is weakening (momentum decay) and the oscillator is showing lower highs (bearish divergence), this could indicate a faltering rally. Such conditions represent an ideal time to reduce exposure or exit positions.
Key Inputs for Customization:
Percentage of Equity to Trade:
This setting allows you to allocate a portion of your total portfolio per buy signal. By default, 1% of equity is used per signal, but this can be adjusted based on your risk tolerance and strategy.
Profit Target Percentages:
These thresholds help lock in gains once the price moves a set percentage in your favor.
Lower Timeframes: Default profit target of 50%.
Higher Timeframes: Default profit target of 500%.
These settings can be customized for specific risk/reward preferences.
Warning!!! : Aggressive Mode
Aggressive Mode is an advanced feature designed for traders who want to increase the frequency of signals during periods of market volatility. This mode will trigger more frequent entries, even into slightly less extreme zones, capturing short-term reversals.
What Aggressive Mode Does:
It amplifies signals by allowing the tool to identify more frequent price reversals, including brief market corrections, increasing trade frequency. While this can offer more trading opportunities, it also exposes you to higher risk.
Warning:
Aggressive Mode should be used only by experienced traders familiar with short-term volatility. The increased frequency of signals could lead to higher risk exposure. Ensure robust risk management practices, such as stop-loss orders and profit-taking strategies, are in place before activating this mode.
Default Setting:
Aggressive Mode is disabled by default. It can be activated at your discretion based on your experience level and risk appetite.
Best Practices:
Focus on High-Quality Assets: Prioritize assets with strong recovery potential (e.g., major indices, blue-chip cryptocurrencies).
Use Longer Timeframes: Minimize market noise and optimize your DCA strategy by focusing on higher timeframes (e.g., daily or weekly charts).
Review Trading Inputs: Regularly adjust your inputs to ensure they align with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
Implement Risk Management: Use stop-loss orders and profit targets to manage risk, especially when using Aggressive Mode.
Disclaimer:
DCA Alpha 1.0 is designed specifically for unleveraged, long-term dollar-cost averaging strategies. It is not intended for day trading or leveraged positions. The tool excels at identifying market dips but cannot guarantee success. Users are fully responsible for their own risk management, including the use of stop-losses, profit targets, and position sizing.
Aggressive Mode increases trade frequency and may lead to higher exposure and potential losses. Only experienced traders should consider using this mode. Always understand the risks involved before incorporating this tool into your trading strategy.
simple swing indicator-KTRNSE:NIFTY
1. Pivot High/Low as Lines:
Purpose: Identifies local peaks (pivot highs) and troughs (pivot lows) in price and draws horizontal lines at these levels.
How it Works:
A pivot high occurs when the price is higher than the surrounding bars (based on the pivotLength parameter).
A pivot low occurs when the price is lower than the surrounding bars.
These pivots are drawn as horizontal lines at the price level of the pivot.
Visualization:
Pivot High: A red horizontal line is drawn at the price level of the pivot high.
Pivot Low: A green horizontal line is drawn at the price level of the pivot low.
Example:
Imagine the price is trending up, and at some point, it forms a peak. The script identifies this peak as a pivot high and draws a red line at the price of that peak. Similarly, if the price forms a trough, the script will draw a green line at the low point.
2. Moving Averages (20-day and 50-day):
Purpose: Plots the 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages (SMA) on the chart.
How it Works:
The 20-day SMA smooths the closing price over the last 20 days.
The 50-day SMA smooths the closing price over the last 50 days.
These lines provide an overview of short-term and long-term price trends.
Visualization:
20-day SMA: A blue line showing the 20-day moving average.
50-day SMA: An orange line showing the 50-day moving average.
Example:
When the price is above both moving averages, it indicates an uptrend. If the price crosses below these averages, it might signal a downtrend.
3. Supertrend:
Purpose: The Supertrend is an indicator based on the Average True Range (ATR) and is used to track the market trend.
How it Works:
When the market is in an uptrend, the Supertrend line will be green.
When the market is in a downtrend, the Supertrend line will be red.
Visualization:
Uptrend: The Supertrend line will be plotted in green.
Downtrend: The Supertrend line will be plotted in red.
Example:
If the price is above the Supertrend, the market is considered to be in an uptrend, and if the price is below the Supertrend, the market is in a downtrend.
4. Momentum (Rate of Change):
Purpose: Measures the rate at which the price changes over a set period, showing if the momentum is positive or negative.
How it Works:
The Rate of Change (ROC) measures how much the price has changed over a certain number of periods (e.g., 14).
Positive ROC indicates upward momentum, and negative ROC indicates downward momentum.
Visualization:
Positive ROC: A purple line is plotted above the zero line.
Negative ROC: A purple line is plotted below the zero line.
Example:
If the ROC line is above zero, it means the price is increasing, suggesting bullish momentum. If the ROC is below zero, it indicates bearish momentum.
5. Volume:
Purpose: Displays the volume of traded assets, giving insight into the strength of price movements.
How it Works:
The script will color the volume bars based on whether the price closed higher or lower than the previous bar.
Green bars indicate bullish volume (closing price higher than the previous bar), and red bars indicate bearish volume (closing price lower than the previous bar).
Visualization:
Bullish Volume: Green volume bars when the price closes higher.
Bearish Volume: Red volume bars when the price closes lower.
Example:
If you see a green volume bar, it suggests that the market is participating in an uptrend, and the price has closed higher than the previous period. Red bars indicate a downtrend or selling pressure.
6. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
Purpose: The MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of the price.
How it Works:
The MACD Line is the difference between the 12-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and the 26-period EMA.
The Signal Line is the 9-period EMA of the MACD Line.
The MACD Histogram shows the difference between the MACD line and the Signal line.
Visualization:
MACD Line: A blue line representing the difference between the 12-period and 26-period EMAs.
Signal Line: An orange line representing the 9-period EMA of the MACD line.
MACD Histogram: A red or green histogram that shows the difference between the MACD line and the Signal line.
Example:
When the MACD line crosses above the Signal line, it’s considered a bullish signal. When the MACD line crosses below the Signal line, it’s considered a bearish signal.
Full Chart Example:
Imagine you're looking at a price chart with all the indicators:
Pivot High/Low Lines are drawn as red and green horizontal lines.
20-day and 50-day SMAs are plotted as blue and orange lines, respectively.
Supertrend shows a green or red line indicating the trend.
Momentum (ROC) is shown as a purple line oscillating around zero.
Volume bars are green or red based on whether the close is higher or lower.
MACD appears as a blue line and orange line, with a red or green histogram showing the MACD vs. Signal line difference.
How the Indicators Work Together:
Trend Confirmation: If the price is above the Supertrend line and both SMAs are trending up, it indicates a strong bullish trend.
Momentum: If the ROC is positive and the MACD line is above the Signal line, it further confirms bullish momentum.
Volume: Increasing volume, especially with green bars, suggests that the trend is being supported by active participation.
By using these combined indicators, you can get a comprehensive view of the market's trend, momentum, and potential reversal points (via pivot highs and lows).
Pivotal Point Detection
The indicator highlights price gaps (overnight gaps) with significantly increased volume in the daily chart only. These price jumps can occur after earnings reports or other significant news and often point to an important event (e.g., a new product or business model). According to Jesse Livermore, these are called Pivotal Points.
The price jumps displayed by the indicator are not a guarantee that they represent a true Pivotal Point, but they provide a hint of a significant business development - especially when they occur repeatedly alongside revenue growth. This can help identify potentially strong growth stocks and high-performing investments. However, the underlying events and connections must be investigated through additional research.
make posible to find stocks like:
NYSE:PLTR NASDAQ:ROOT NASDAQ:NVDA NYSE:CVNA NYSE:LRN
A "pivotal price line" is drawn at the opening price of the Pivotal Point. This line is considered a support level. If the price falls below this line, the Pivotal Point loses its validity.
