"Whale Balance" Heatmap Indicator This indicator visualizes market trends by analyzing "whale balance" behavior on a daily and weekly basis. It compares the current "whale balance" (daily close) with the 7-day average balance to calculate the percentage change and plots a heatmap based on the results.
Key Features Heatmap Representation: - Red (Extra High): Indicates a very overheated market (> 54%). - Orange (High): Represents a heated increase in "whale balance" (> 20%). - Yellow (Medium): Shows a warm growth in "whale balance" (> 10%). - Blue (Normal): Reflects a neutral "whale balance" (-20% to 10%). - Cyan (Low): Marks a cool decline in "whale balance" (-20% to -54%).
Simple Moving Average (SMA): - A 3-period SMA smooths the percentage change in "whale balance" to reduce noise and improve clarity. - Users can adjust the moving average length via the MA Length input.
Usability: - Aimed at traders seeking to monitor longer-term "whale activity" trends. - Helps identify potential reversals or continuation patterns in market behavior.
How It Works - The script calculates the percentage difference between the current daily "whale balance" and the "whale balance" from 7 days ago. - This difference is smoothed using an SMA and color-coded into a heatmap for easy visualization. - The heatmap is plotted directly on the chart, providing a quick glance at the strength and direction of "whale activity."
How to Use - Apply the indicator to any chart to assess the trend in "whale behavior." - Use the color-coded heatmap to spot major inflows (red/orange) or outflows (cyan/blue) of "whale activity." - The gray horizontal line at 0.3 highlights a threshold where the positive "whale balance" trend begins to strengthen significantly.
Example Use Cases - Trend Confirmation: Combine with other trend indicators to confirm market strength or weakness. - Entry/Exit Timing: Look for transitions between heatmap colors to time entries or exits.
Disclaimer - This indicator is not tracking actual "whales" or their balances. The term "whale balance" here refers to a calculated metric designed to provide a longer-term view of market trends. It does not represent real data from actual market participants or "whales." - This indicator does not guarantee future performance but provides an insightful tool for analyzing "whale balance" trends.
