Reversals rarely happen without warning. The Viper Oscillator includes two distinct detection engines designed to alert you when the market is reaching a tipping point: Reversal Triangles (Momentum) and Volume Spikes (Liquidity). Image

​
Reversal Signals (Triangles)

You will occasionally see small Triangles (▴/▾) appear above or below the oscillator wave. These are Reversal Signals. They appear when the oscillator has pushed deep into an Extreme Zone (Overbought/Oversold) and momentum begins to weaken.
  • Green Triangle (▴): Bullish Warning.
    • Momentum was deeply Oversold and selling strength begins to fade.
    • Meaning: Sellers are exhausting. Be prepared for a potential bounce or trend shift to the upside.
  • Red Triangle (▾): Bearish Warning.
    • Momentum was deeply Overbought and beginning to weaken.
    • Meaning: Buyers are exhausting. Be prepared for a potential pullback or trend shift to the downside.
Note: These triangles indicate that a reversal could be coming soon. They are best used as a “Heads Up” to tighten your stops or look for an entry trigger on the main chart. These are NOT signals to be bought and sold blindly.

​
Volume Spikes (Gold Arrows)

Distinct from the triangles, you may see Gold/Yellow Arrows (or Carets ⌃ / ⌄) appear. These do not track momentum; they track Panic and Euphoria. These markers trigger only when a massive “Volume Anomaly” is detected (a 3-Sigma Volume Spike at a price extreme).
  • Gold Up Arrow (⌃): Stopping Volume (Bullish).
    • Context: Price is crashing, but suddenly a massive surge of volume enters.
    • Psychology: This is “Capitulation.” Retail traders are panic selling, and Institutions are stepping in to absorb the liquidity. The crash is likely over.
  • Gold Down Arrow (⌄): Climax Volume (Bearish).
    • Context: Price is skyrocketing, but a massive volume spike occurs.
    • Psychology: This is “FOMO.” Retail traders are panic buying at the top, and Institutions are selling into the strength. The rally is likely over.
Strategy: The “Heads Up”The best way to use these signals is as a Pre-Alert.
  1. The Alert: You see a Red Triangle or Gold Down Arrow on the Oscillator.
  2. The Action: Do not short immediately. Instead, look at your Mkt-Viper Pro chart.
  3. The Trigger: Wait for the Mkt-Viper Pro to print a “Sell” signal or for a candle to close below a key Support structure. The Oscillator gave you the early warning; the Price Action gives you the entry.
