BTC - AXIS: Coppock + Williams %R Composite
Title: BTC - AXIS: Coppock + Williams %R Composite | RM
Overview & Philosophy
AXIS (Advanced X-Momentum Intensity Score) is a specialized momentum composite designed to identify market structural shifts. In physics, an axis is the central line around which a body rotates; in this indicator, the Zero-Baseline acts as the AXIS for capital flow.
By fusing a slow-moving momentum engine (Coppock Curve) with a high-sensitivity tactical oscillator (Williams %R), this tool filters out the "market noise" that leads to overtrading and focuses on the high-conviction "Trend-Aligned Dips."
Methodology
Most indicators either suffer from too much lag (Moving Averages) or too much noise (Standard RSI). AXIS solves this through "Speed-Balanced Normalization."
1. Macro Engine (Coppock Curve): Named after Edwin Coppock, this component identifies major market bottoms by smoothing two separate Rates of Change (RoC). It is your structural compass.
2. Tactical Trigger (Williams %R): Created by Larry Williams, this measures the current close relative to the High-Low range.
• Re-centered Logic: Standard Williams %R oscillates between 0 and -100. Here, this is re-centered to oscillate around zero, ensuring it interacts mathematically correctly with the Coppock baseline.
3. The AXIS Score: The Composite line (Orange) is the weighted sum of these two engines. It provides a singular view of the market's "Net Momentum Intensity."
How to Read the Chart
🟧 The AXIS Composite (Orange Line): The primary signal line. It tracks the speed and exhaustion of the price by fusing macro and tactical data.
• Red Zone (> 150): Overheated. Short and long-term momentum are at extreme highs. Risk of a blow-off top or local reversal is high.
• Green Zone (< -150): Capitulation. The market is statistically exhausted. Historically, these zones represent high-conviction accumulation areas.
• Bullish Momentum (> 0): The market is rotating above the central Axis. Buyers are in control of the trend.
• Bearish Momentum (< 0): The market is rotating below the central Axis. Sellers are in control of the trend.
🟦 The Coppock Line (Blue): The macro filter. When Blue is above 0, the long-term trend is up.
🟥 The Williams %R Line (Red): The short-term cycles. Watch for divergences here to spot early trend fatigue.
Strategy: The "AXIS Alignment" Signal
The highest-conviction entry point—and the primary "Alpha" of this tool—occurs when:
The macro trend is Bullish (Blue Line > 0).
The market experiences a correction, pushing the Orange (AXIS) Line into the Green Capitulation Zone.
The AXIS Score turns back upward.
This indicates that a short-term panic has been absorbed by a long-term bull trend—the ideal "Buy the Dip" scenario.
Settings
• Long/Short RoC: Standardized to 14/11 for cycle accuracy.
• Weighting: Allows you to prioritize trend (Coppock) or cycle sensitivity (%R).
• Visibility Toggles: Fully customizable display switches for each line.
Credits
• Edwin Coppock: For the foundation of long-term recovery momentum.
• Larry Williams: For the Percent Range methodology.
⚠️ Note: This indicator is optimized for the Daily (1D) Timeframe. Please switch your chart to 1D for accurate signal reading.
