TrendiumTrend, bullish and bearish
Trend: the direction of a market over a specified period. Always attach a timeframe to the description. A brief move in the opposite direction does not necessarily describe the broader trend.
Bullish and bearish: labels for an upward or downward leaning reading. In Trendium they describe what the app sees in market pressure, not what you should do. See how to read a crypto trend.
Timeframe and timeframe agreement
Timeframe: the time interval used in a market view, such as 5 minutes, 1 hour or 1 day. Trendium compares seven: 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h and 1D.
Timeframe agreement: how the directional readings across those intervals line up. Mixed readings can reflect a short move within a different broader trend. Agreement is not a guarantee. The timeframe guide explains how to compare the rows.
Trendium score and current move
Trendium score: the app’s summary of which way pressure leans and how strong that reading is. It is not a win rate, a predicted return or a probability of a future price move.
Current move: the price change over the period displayed. It can point in a different direction from the trend reading. Read the period as well as the percentage.
Combined pressure history: Trendium’s view of how the reading across the seven timeframes has changed during the last seven days.
Open interest and trading volume
Open interest: outstanding derivatives contracts that have not been closed. Trading volume: contracts traded during a period. One measures outstanding positions; the other measures trading activity. CME Group explains this distinction.
Open interest does not identify individual traders or prove which side will win. Read the open-interest guide for examples and limits of interpretation.
Long side, short side and directional risk
Long side: exposure that generally benefits from a price rise. Short side: exposure that generally benefits from a price fall. These terms describe direction, not suitability or safety.
Directional risk: Trendium’s comparison of warning signs for the two directions. Scores out of 100 summarize the app’s readings; they are not percentages of likely loss. See the directional risk guide.
Watchlist, market reading and data unavailable
Watchlist: the markets you follow in the app’s overview. Each card summarizes the trend, current move, timeframe agreement, history and risk.
Market reading: an observation of conditions from the data available to the app. It is not a prediction, trading signal or personal recommendation.
Data unavailable: a data or connectivity limitation, not a market direction. If it persists, use support. To put these terms together, follow the market observation checklist.
