BTC Golden Bottom with Adaptive Moving Average
Dec 27, 2021

The BTC Golden Bottom with Adaptive Moving Average indicator utilizes a long-term adaptive trend line to identify historical cycle bottoms and major support zones for Bitcoin.
Usage
The Usage section describes how the script can be used to identify significant market phases for Bitcoin. Historically, Bitcoin bear market bottoms have coincided with the primary Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) curve, making it a critical tool for identifying potential "generational" buying opportunities.
- Identifying Bottoms: When the price interacts with the primary green "Golden Bottom" line, it suggests the market is in a historical value zone.
- Expansion Envelopes: The indicator plots Fibonacci-based envelope bands above the baseline. These levels act as dynamic resistance zones or targets during bull market expansions.
- Trend Shifts: Crossovers of the price and the baseline can indicate significant shifts in long-term market sentiment.
The indicator is specifically designed for the Bitcoin All-Time History Index (INDEX:BTCUSD) to ensure calculations account for the full scope of Bitcoin's price history.
Details
The script is constructed using a Kaufman-style Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) logic, specifically tuned to a 365-day (one year) window. This ensures the curve remains responsive to price volatility while maintaining a long-term perspective.
The calculation utilizes a smoothing efficiency ratio, derived from the highest highs and lowest lows over the lookback period. This ratio adjusts the alpha (smoothing factor) between a "fast" (Minor) and "slow" (Major) length. Furthermore, the indicator features an optional Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average (SWMA) applied to the upper envelope bands to provide smoother, less reactive price channels.
Settings
- Adaptive MA Length: Sets the primary lookback period for the baseline calculation, defaulted to 365 days.
- Major Length: The slower smoothing constant used for the adaptive alpha calculation.
- Minor Length: The faster smoothing constant used for the adaptive alpha calculation.
Envelope Distance Zone
- Show AMA Envelope: Toggles the visibility of the Fibonacci expansion bands.
- Distance (Envelope) Multiplier: Adjusts the width of the envelopes based on Average True Range (ATR).
- Envelope ATR Length: Determines the lookback period used for the ATR-based distance calculation.
- Apply Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average at Envelope: If enabled, applies an SWMA filter to the expansion bands for smoother plotting.
- Fib 1 - 6: Individual inputs to customize the Fibonacci multipliers (e.g., 0.236, 0.382, 0.618) used to plot the expansion levels.
FAQ
Which symbol should I use this indicator on?
The indicator is optimized for the INDEX:BTCUSD (Bitcoin All Time History Index) to provide the most accurate historical context.
How do I interpret the colored zones?
The green baseline represents the primary "Golden Bottom" support. The red-shaded zones represent early expansion levels, while the blue-shaded zones represent higher-tier Fibonacci targets and peak volatility levels.
