Climax Absorption Engine [AlgoPoint]Overview
Have you ever noticed that during a sharp, fast-moving trend, the single candle with the highest volume often appears right at the end, just before the price reverses? This is no coincidence. It's the footprint of a Climax Event.
This indicator is designed to detect these critical moments of maximum panic (capitulation) and maximum euphoria (FOMO). These are the moments when retail traders are driven by emotion, creating a massive pool of liquidity. The "Climax Absorption Engine" identifies when Smart Money is likely absorbing this liquidity to enter large positions against the crowd, right before a potential reversal.
It's a tool built not just on mathematical formulas, but on the principles of market psychology and smart money activity.
How It Works: The 3-Step Logic
The indicator uses a sequential, three-step process to identify high-probability reversal setups:
1. Momentum Move Detection: First, the engine identifies a period of strong, directional momentum. It looks for a series of consecutive, same-colored candles and confirms that the move is backed by a steeply sloped moving average. This ensures we are only looking for climactic events at the end of a significant, non-random move.
2. Climax Candle Identification: Within this momentum move, the indicator scans for a candle with abnormally high volume—a volume spike that is significantly larger than the recent average. This candle is marked on your chart with a diamond shape and is identified as the Climax Candle. This is the point of peak emotion and the primary area of interest. No signal is generated yet.
3. Absorption & Reversal Confirmation: A climax is a warning, not a signal. The final signal is only triggered after the market confirms the reversal.
- For a BUY Signal: After a bearish (red) Climax Candle, the indicator waits for a subsequent green candle to close decisively above the midpoint of the Climax Candle. This confirms that the panic selling has been absorbed by buyers.
- For a SELL Signal: After a bullish (green) Climax Candle, it waits for a subsequent red candle to close decisively below the midpoint. This confirms that the euphoric buying has evaporated.
How to Interpret & Use This Indicator
- The Diamond Shape: A diamond shape on your chart is an early warning. It signifies that a climax event has occurred and the underlying trend is exhausted. This is the time to pay close attention and prepare for a potential reversal.
- The BUY/SELL Labels: These are the final, actionable signals. They appear only after the reversal has been confirmed by price action.
- A BUY signal suggests that capitulation selling is over, and buyers have absorbed the pressure.
- A SELL signal suggests that FOMO buying is over, and sellers are now in control.
Key Settings
- Momentum Detection: Adjust the number of consecutive bars and the EMA slope required to define a valid momentum move.
- Climax Detection: Fine-tune the sensitivity of the volume spike detection using the Volume Multiplier. Higher values will find only the most extreme events.
- Confirmation Window: Define how many bars the indicator should wait for a reversal candle after a climax event before the setup is cancelled.
Capitulation
Smooth Hash RibbonsSame as the popular hash ribbon indicator, but slightly more responsive and with a better smoothing kernel.

Intro
Miner Capitulation has been talked about alot recently in the news and on twitter. I wanted to join the in fun and add my own spin on things.
Description
This shows the 30 (yellow) and 60 (orange) day moving average of the hash rate of bitcoin. I added an option to show the convergence/divergence of the two moving averages in a visual manner similar to the MACD.
I also added the ability to select both the length and type of MA used in the calculation of the capitulation so you can experiment.
Other additions include bar coloration by trade state, and background highlighting of capitulation periods.
Editable Capitulation/Recovery plots will show clearly when the crosses happen.
The way to replicate my display is to add the indicator twice below the chart and combine in the same pane. First indicator displays the averages by default. The second one you enable convergence/divergence display option and uncheck the rest.
Last I add the indicator one more time and dragged it on chart. Do not combine the scales into one, of else it will ruin the scale (you want them separate scales). Its just showing you possibilities, use whatever works for you!

Meant for crypto (I know that's what most people are interested in - it's a mistake) and small caps.
Might work for other things have not checked.
