# Custom Crypto Indicators ## Why Standard TA Falls Short for Crypto Traditional technical analysis was built for equities and forex — markets with fixed supply, regulated exchanges, and institutional-dominated order flow. Crypto markets have unique properties that demand purpose-built indicators: - **On-chain transparency**: Every transaction is public. We can measure real economic activity, not just price and volume on a single exchange. - **Supply mechanics**: Fixed or programmatic supply schedules make supply-side analysis (velocity, holder distribution) meaningful. - **Derivatives dominance**: Perpetual futures funding rates and open interest often drive spot price, not the other way around. - **Whale concentration**: A small number of wallets hold outsized supply. Tracking their behavior provides alpha that equity-market TA cannot. - **Exchange flows**: On-chain deposit/withdrawal to centralized exchanges signals intent to sell or accumulate. This skill covers nine crypto-native indicators. Each section includes the formula, interpretation guide, data sources, and a working code snippet. ## Files | File | Description | |------|-------------| | `references/indicator_formulas.md` | Full formulas, parameter tables, signal ranges for all 9 indicators | | `references/signal_interpretation.md` | Composite scoring, divergence detection, false signal filtering | | `scripts/compute_crypto_indicators.py` | Computes all 9 indicators from free APIs or demo data | |
