Building a Fast-Moving Momentum Indicator Using Pure Price Action

Image
  If you want to build a fast-moving indicator based entirely on the Open and Close of the current and previous candles, you are essentially building a purely price-action momentum system. By comparing the Current Candle (0) and the Previous Candle (1), you can distill market movement into four primary color combinations. Within those combinations, the exact placement of the Opens and Closes dictates the strength of the momentum. Here are the most actionable logical conditions you can build, mapped out using clear IF / THEN / AND / OR logic. 1. Previous RED ➡️ Current GREEN (Bullish Reversal) This combination signals a potential shift from selling to buying. The strength of the signal depends entirely on how high the current close is compared to the previous candle. Standard Reversal: IF (Previous is RED) AND (Current is GREEN) AND (Current Close > Previous Close) THEN Bullish Momentum Shifting. Strong Bullish Engulfing (Total Reversal): IF (Pr...

Brent Crude and Nifty 50: Analyzing the $98 Resistance ( Date: 23 Jul 2026)

  Brent Crude and Nifty 50: Analyzing the $98 Resistance ( Date: 23 Jul 2026) The relationship between Brent crude and the Nifty 50 is fundamentally inverse. Because India imports over 80% of its crude oil requirements, rising oil prices inflate the national import bill, widen the current account deficit, put downward pressure on the Rupee (USD/INR), and squeeze corporate margins. Consequently, when Brent crude surges, the Nifty 50 typically faces significant headwinds due to inflation fears and Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) outflows. Currently, Brent crude has been heavily driven by geopolitical risk—specifically the escalating US-Iran tensions and the resulting disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—pushing prices past the $90 mark and bringing the critical $98–$100 resistance zone into view. However, there is a strong probability that Brent crude could slip or face a sharp rejection at the $98 resistance level. Here are the primary catalysts that could trigger this p...

Strategic Impact of the 2026 Middle East Conflict: Global Macroeconomic Contagion and Indian Capital Market Dynamics SECTION 1: GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT The geopolitical landscape of the Middle East has undergone a seismic paradigm shift, fundamentally altering the calculus of global energy security and macroeconomic stability. The outbreak of high-intensity, direct state-on-state warfare involving the United States, Israel, and the Islamic Republic of Iran has transitioned the region from a theater of proxy skirmishes into a zone of total systemic disruption. This escalation represents a structural fracture in international trade, weaponizing maritime logistics and energy supply chains on a scale not witnessed since the 1970s energy crises. Structured Timeline of Escalation The origins of the current crisis stem from the collapse of diplomatic negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program and the preceding "12-Day War" in June 2025, which saw preliminary strikes agai...
