What you’re looking at

• Top panel: BTC price (context).
• Bottom panel: STAD (the signal engine).
• Zone rails: green line = buy-zone boundary, red line = sell-zone boundary.

The “0 line” concept (the pivot)

The white baseline at 1.00 is the key pivot (think of it like a “0 line” for behavior):

• Above 1.00: short-term holders are selling in profit → can develop into distribution.
• Below 1.00: short-term holders are selling at a loss → can develop into accumulation.

Green zone (Buy / Accumulation)

When STAD enters the green zone (below the green boundary), it often reflects short-term capitulation / forced selling. This is why the region is treated as a spot accumulation area.

• Best used for scaling into spot (not chasing pumps).
• Think: “weak hands are paying the pain tax — I’m building.”

Red zone (Sell / Distribution)

When STAD enters the red zone (above the red boundary), short-term profit-taking is dominant. This is why the region is treated as a distribution / take-profit area.

• Best used for trimming, de-risking, tightening stops.
• Think: “profit tax is being collected — I take what the market gives.”
