How Kong Cloud sees markets.

Kong Cloud is two smoothed moving averages on hl2: fast 15, slow 29. A 3-bar confirmation gate prevents whip.

When the fast crosses above the slow and holds for three closes, the trend turns bullish. Below — bearish. No discretion. No exception. The same lens applied to every market.

Every four hours, on every asset Kong covers. That is the schedule the math runs on. No human in the loop, no manual override, no off-hours.

702 assets in the 5 Oct 2026 snapshot, across crypto, equities, indices, forex, commodities and rates. Six classes. One indicator. Same hl2, same 15/29, same 3-bar confirmation — applied identically whether the asset is BTC, AAPL, EURUSD, gold or the VIX.

Each scan reads Kong Cloud on three timeframes: four-hour, daily and five-day. Primes come from the daily chart; the five-day cloud is the macro context.

A turn is the moment Kong Cloud's two smoothed averages cross and hold. It is a coordinate in time — nothing more.

Most turns are noise. Range-bound chop. Liquidity hunts. Failed breakouts that revert in two bars. The math is honest about this — every cross gets logged, even the ones that won't survive what comes next.

Every asset enters the sieve on every scan. On most scans, most assets pass through without a mark: no confirmed daily flip, nothing to publish. The gate is the indicator's own — a daily flip counts only once three closes confirm it.

What the gate lets through is not filtered again. No quality threshold stands between a confirmed daily flip and its Prime; a weak flip is published with a low score, not hidden. The second pass of the sieve is the grade. Five components are measured on the daily bars:

• Pattern. Does a chart pattern on the daily bars confirm the turn?
• Structural context. Where does the flip sit in the market's structure — breakout, breakdown, bounce, rejection, continuation, counter-trend or transitional — and where are the support and resistance levels around it?
• Volume. How does the flip bar's volume compare with its 20-bar average, and was volume rising into the flip?
• Macro alignment. Does the five-day cloud confirm the daily flip, diverge from it, or stay neutral?
• Regime. Is the market trending, ranging or transitional, as read from its volume profile?

The weights depend on the regime: pattern counts most in a trend, structure most in a range. A transitional Prime is capped at 50. The result is the Kong Score.

A Prime is a statement of analytical facts about a confirmed daily flip: direction, price and date, regime, structure, pattern, volume, momentum, macro alignment, the Kong Score and a one-line narrative.

The Kong Score runs from 0 to 100. It grades the analysis at the moment of the turn. It is not a price target. It is not a probability of any price outcome.

A Prime stays active until the opposite confirmed daily flip. Time does not close it. Neither does a daily cloud turning neutral — the Prime is then reported as in transition, and it is still active. Every Prime carries an outcome (open while active, opposite_flip once the counter flip confirms) and a history, and it sits beside its asset's Kong Cloud Fit: a grade from A to F for how the indicator has behaved on that asset's full daily history.

A Prime is an observation. It is not a recommendation. What you do with it is yours.

Kong does not execute trades. No broker integration. No exchange API key. No custody of funds. Ever.

Kong does not give financial advice. It states what the math sees. Direction, regime, structure — facts about the market's posture at a point in time. Never a buy, never a sell, never a target.

Kong is transparent by design. The indicator is published. The cadence is published. The methodology — this page — is published. Verify it against your own data, your own broker, your own eyes. Form your own view.
