Market Regime Detector

Market Regime Detector

The Market Regime Detector is a tool designed to help traders identify and adapt to the prevailing market environment by analyzing price action in relation to key macro timeframe levels. This indicator categorizes the market into distinct regimes—Bullish, Bearish, or Reverting—providing actionable insights to set trading expectations, manage volatility, and align strategies with broader market conditions.

What is a Market Regime?

A market regime refers to the overarching state or condition of the market at a given time. Understanding the market regime is critical for traders as it determines the most effective trading approach. The three main regimes are:

Bullish Regime:

Characterized by upward momentum where prices are consistently trending higher.
Trading strategies often focus on buying opportunities and trend-following setups.

Bearish Regime:

Defined by downward price pressure and declining trends.
Traders typically look for selling opportunities or adopt risk-off strategies.

Reverting Regime:

Represents a consolidation phase where prices move within a defined range.
Ideal for mean-reversion strategies or range-bound trading setups.
