What SMOD measures

Smart Market Overview & Discovery (SMOD) scores every asset against every other asset in the same period. Its output is per asset, but each score only makes sense relative to the universe, which is why SMOD is the base for most market-wide cards.

Its states are Silent Accumulation, Distribution, Liquidity Trap, High Manipulation, Emerging Coin, Momentum Expansion and Neutral.

SMOD regimes

Trends: TrendLeader, HealthyTrend, CrowdedTrend and ExhaustedTrend. Ranges: AccumulationRange, DistributionRange, ChopZone and CompressionZone. Pumps: SpeculativePump, SmartPump and PumpTrap. Downside: Capitulation, DistributionDump, StopRun and StructuralBreakdown.
