Trend Phase

What it measures

Structural interaction between timeframes: aligned trend, pullback, early reversal, transition, range, or insufficient data.

Why it matters

Two assets can share the same directional bias but differ in phase. Pullback structure during a bullish bias often carries different risk than aligned-trend structure.

How to interpret

Read trend phase alongside directional score and confidence. A bullish bias in Pullback phase suggests higher-timeframe trend with short-term counter-movement.
