Mazuuma Churn Indicator
This indicator was specifically made to confirm a periode of sideways movement (churn) on Bitcoin. It can probably be used for other cryptocurrencies as well. I use it on the daily timeframe.
Yellow means "Unconfirmed".
Orange means "Partially Confirmed".
Red means "Confirmed"
The indicator is not perfect, so use your common sense.
Churn starts when at least 2 of the conditions below are met (use also your common sense):
1. ATR < MA 20 on ATR
2. Distance to EMA 200 must be ≤ 16% at “Open churn”
3. EMA 12 on RSI between 40 and 60
4. ADX < 25
The above are weighted. Meaning no 1 has most significance. The numbers can be tweaked.
Reversal coming
* The indicators above break out, especially the ATR
* Color shift of the Heikin Ashi candle on weekly timeframe
* Engulfing candle on weekly timeframe
Because of the offset of the EMA 200, the precision of the Churn predictor can be off after a VERY big spike up or down, e.g. dec 2017. After such a spike use your common sense.
Personally I use this for bot trading, i.e. turn off trend following bots when in sideways market and use grid bots or other means of trading instead.
