Angular Volatility

📘 Angular Volatility – Technical Indicator for Trend Intensity Analysis

Angular Volatility is an advanced technical analysis tool developed specifically for cryptocurrency markets on the Binance platform. Its primary objective is to detect structural shifts in price dynamics with greater precision by analyzing the combined behavior of market volume and the angular slope of a customizable moving average.

Unlike conventional indicators that operate directly over the price chart, this script displays all of its metrics within a dedicated secondary window, allowing a cleaner and more isolated view of critical movements such as acceleration, pause, or potential reversals. In addition, it includes a robust system for volatility intensity classification, automated alerts, and a live technical info table that summarizes key real-time values.


🎯 What does Angular Volatility analyze?

Angular Volatility measures the interaction between traded volume and the angle of a moving average selected by the user from six types (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, ALMA, and SWMA). From these variables, the system generates:

- Angular Volatility Index: A composite value representing the product of volume and angular slope, reflecting the true strength behind a move.
- Angular Oscillator: A standalone line that displays the directional angle (in degrees) of the selected moving average, limited between ±90°.
- Volatility Intensity Levels: Automatic classification of peaks into four levels—moderate, elevated, high, and extreme—displayed with distinct colors and geometric shapes.
- Technical Data Table: A real-time panel showing both the current angle of the moving average and the current value of the Angular Volatility Index in a compact, user-friendly format.
- Custom Alerts System: Five built-in alert conditions allow users to monitor key volatility events without needing to watch the chart constantly.


⚙️ Configuration Parameters

The script includes multiple configuration sections that allow users to fine-tune both its analytical precision and visual appearance:

- High Volume Detection: Adjustable historical depth and sensitivity to identify significant volume spikes.
- Initial Moving Average Settings: Selection of MA type, length, offset, and dynamic coloring based on slope angle.
- Volatility Index Options: Fully customizable visuals, synced with the angle values set in the moving average section.
- Volatile Intensity Styling: Choose which levels to display, customize their colors and icons, and optionally color the main chart candles for quick interpretation.
- Information Table: Options to show/hide the table, adjust size and position, and customize background/text colors.


🧠 Compatibility and Technical Recommendations

This indicator was developed to operate exclusively on Binance using the following timeframes only: 1m – 5m – 15m – 30m – 1h – 4h – 1D.

This restriction is deliberate, ensuring consistency in the mathematical model used to calculate angular data. Using this script on other platforms or timeframes may result in inaccurate readings or logic errors, as asset types like stocks, forex, or indices behave differently in terms of volume structure and slope normalization.

If applied to unsupported markets or timeframes, the script will automatically display a warning message without calculating or drawing technical values.


🔬 Practical Example

The following case study—applied to the BTC chart on a 1-hour timeframe—demonstrates how volatility intensity levels behave in structured scenarios such as channel breakdowns, rebound phases, false breakouts, and high-energy consolidation zones:

🔻 Letter A: Downward breakout and full intensity sequence

- The price was moving within a fairly uniform descending channel, which ends with a false breakout to the upside—quickly invalidated as a market trap.
- The true breakout occurs to the downside through a strong red candle, categorized by the system as moderate intensity (gray).
- This candle is followed by a Doji, then a smaller red candle also marked as moderate intensity, followed by a larger red candle showing high intensity (white), and finally a stronger red candle painted yellow, indicating extreme intensity.
- This full sequence (moderate → moderate → high → extreme) marks a technical climax, after which the price begins a progressive reversal.
- Although the drop unfolds over five red candles, the subsequent recovery takes place over 18 candles, mostly green and smaller in size, forming a “V” shape: sharp decline followed by a steady upward climb.
- This entire section is enclosed within an oval labeled A, with the four intensity levels clearly reflected on both the main chart and the Angular Volatility panel.


🔼 Letter B: Ascending channel and breakout with increasing bullish pressure

- After the rebound described in section A, the price begins forming a new ascending channel, marked with the letter B. This channel starts right where the previous range ends, with a very slight upward offset—nearly indistinguishable.
- In the final stage of this channel, a green candle classified as moderate intensity (gray) attempts a breakout. It is followed by a stronger green candle, painted brown, indicating elevated intensity and confirming bullish acceleration.
- Both candles and the corresponding peak on the Angular Volatility indicator are enclosed in an oval labeled B, representing a second wave of directional energy.


⛓️ Letter C: Resistance zone and consolidation following extreme volatility

- The upward movement continues until it reaches a resistance level, where a large green candle emerges, painted yellow to denote extreme intensity.
- Unlike the previous case in section A, this movement does not trigger a sharp reversal, but rather a technical pause followed by sideways consolidation, forming a horizontal range.
- This zone is marked on the chart with an oval labeled C, representing a classic case of stopping volume and range formation.
