🧪 Risk Level & Behavior Reference
🔥 Aggressive(10–14) - Fast signal, high sensitivity to volume spikes. Suitable for scalping or altcoin breakouts.
⚖️ Moderate(20–30) - Balanced filtering of noise vs real movement. Recommended for most swing traders.
🛡️ Conservative(40–60+) - Filters out noise. Reacts only to sustained large volume anomalies. Ideal for longer timeframes or large-cap coins.
⚙️ How to Use (NON DIRECTIONAL INDICATOR)
- Use the Z-Score to gauge the strength of volume relative to recent history.
- When Z-Score > 1.5 → Considered above-average activity.
- When Z-Score > 3 → Marks a 🐋 Small Whale Move, potential for high-volatility follow-through.
- Combine with price action, support/resistance, or OBV for confirmation.
⚠️ Limitations
- This is a statistical signal, not directional.
- Works best when paired with context: supply zones, trend bias, or large candle patterns.
🧠 Advanced Tips
- Use multiple risk settings (e.g., 14 vs 50) on stacked indicators to track retail vs whale behavior separately.
- Works well with low-float tokens and high-leverage exchange pairs like BTC/USDT (Bybit).
