Next-week expectancy

Next-week expectancy is a short-term historical read. It compares the latest completed-week setup with broadly similar past setups and asks whether the following week tended to close higher or lower.

It is not a trend call, a price target, or a guarantee. A positive read can appear while price is below trend or activity pressure is weak, because it is measuring short-term follow-through odds for the current setup state.

Use it as one context layer beside Trend Line, Relative Strength, Market Dynamics, Fair Value, and the visible price structure.

Understanding the evidence

Smart Money

Smart Money is Sharemaestro’s proprietary completed-week view of whether the support beneath price is constructive, weakening, rebuilding or carrying increased reversal risk.

How to read the chart

Start with the current reading and trend quality. Then use the momentum path, coloured trend line, cycle ribbon and event markers to see whether the evidence agrees or conflicts.

What the markers mean

Positive markers identify completed-week accumulation or Smart Money events. Warning markers identify a loss of demand support, reversal risk or reversal danger. A marker records a change in evidence; it does not predict the next price.

What it is not

Smart Money is not a forecast, price target, transaction feed or standalone buy or sell instruction. It is most useful when its direction and trend quality agree with the visible price structure.

Understanding market perception

Price Cycle

Price Cycle is Sharemaestro’s proprietary completed-week view of how strongly price is pressing above or below its established market position.

How to read it

Start with market position, then read direction and trend quality. Positive pressure can strengthen or cool; negative pressure can deteriorate or begin repairing. Persistence shows whether the current state is established or newly developing.

Full-height dotted guides mark completed crossovers through balance: green for a move into positive pressure and red for a move into negative pressure. The coloured area between them shows the resulting market-perception zone.

How to use the historical context

Historical position shows how unusual the latest reading is for this market. Comparable observations summarise what followed similar completed states, but they are descriptive evidence rather than a forecast.

What a Price Action signal means

A Price Action signal marks a completed confirmation event from a weak market-perception position. It records a change in evidence, not a forecast or instruction.

What it is not

Price Cycle is not an order-flow feed, valuation target, prediction or standalone instruction to buy or sell. It describes completed price pressure and should be considered with the broader Sharemaestro research view.

Understanding the completed weekly tape

Price Action

Price Action explains how a market is behaving against its own completed price history. It brings the weekly candle, trend relationship, structural levels and participation into one clear view.

How to read the chart

Each candle shows a completed week's open, high, low and close. The trend reference provides longer context. Support and resistance mark completed structural areas below and above price, while the lower panel shows whether participation confirmed or contradicted the move.

What the annotations mean

Annotations identify selected completed events such as a trend reclaim, trend loss, high-participation reversal or published Price Action signal. Their arrows point to the exact completed week involved.

New and recently listed markets

When history is limited, the page still explains the current candle and visible structure, while clearly marking longer-term evidence and comparisons as developing. It does not manufacture certainty from an incomplete record.

What it is not

Price Action is not a forecast, price target, live order book or standalone instruction to buy or sell. It is a structured interpretation of completed weekly evidence.

Understanding the chart

What Market Dynamics shows

Market Dynamics shows whether the support beneath a completed price move is strengthening or weakening. Green bars are supportive, red bars are cautious, and the height of each bar shows how forceful the finished reading is.

Read price and the bars together

When price and Market Dynamics strengthen together, the move has broader confirmation. When price rises while Market Dynamics fades, the move is losing support and risk can be building near the upper zone. When price remains weak while Market Dynamics begins to improve, an opportunity may be forming near the lower zone before price has fully responded.

Zones and event markers

The upper and lower zones highlight completed periods where price and underlying support deserve closer attention. Early positioning signals mark improving support near the lower part of the chart. Reversal risk and reversal danger markers highlight increasing disagreement near the upper part. They are observations to investigate, not automatic instructions.

Use the explainer when needed

Turn on Explainer above the chart to label the published event markers. The labels point to the exact completed week and remain off by default so the full chart stays uncluttered.

What it does not show

Market Dynamics is not a forecast, price target or standalone buy or sell signal. Divergence can persist, so the reading should be considered with price structure, trend and the wider research view.

Understanding the evidence

SMI

SMI is Sharemaestro’s proprietary completed-week indicator of underlying market quality. It shows whether the conditions beneath a price move are strong, weak, strengthening or weakening.

How to read it

Read the current level together with its direction, persistence and relationship to price. Agreement with price provides stronger confirmation. Disagreement identifies an area that deserves closer attention.

What it is not

SMI is not a forecast, price target or standalone buy or sell signal. It updates from completed weekly evidence and should be considered alongside the broader Sharemaestro research view.
