Market State Matrix

Market State Matrix renders market conditions as a radar in its own pane: five concentric rings (EMA-based trend regime, RSI-driven momentum intensity, an ATR volatility glow, volume pressure, and higher-high/lower-low price structure) cut into twelve radial slices with lookbacks from 8 to 220 bars. It works like a trend/range classifier you read at a glance, answering whether the environment supports continuation, reversal, or consolidation without juggling five separate panes.

How to Trade the Market State Matrix?

• Full alignment: a solid path of matching colors from inner to outer ring is confluence: trend, momentum, volatility, volume, and structure backing one bias.
• Internal conflict: mixed colors inside a slice expose disagreement, such as bullish structure with fading momentum, a caution flag for continuation and a hint of exhaustion or mean reversion.
• Volatility ignition: when the gold ring brightens and volume pressure lights up alongside it, the market may be entering a more explosive phase.
• Regime core: the center reflects the fastest regime layer, an anchor for direction when the outer rings turn mixed.

Short slices react first to momentum shifts; long slices move with the broader regime. Weak fast slices against aligned slow ones can read as a pullback within trend, while conflict spreading into the stable slices may mark a more meaningful change of state. The Dominant Phase Highlighter arcs over the active slice and labels the cycle stage: expansion, exhaustion, contraction, or accumulation.
