Reading the analysis card, row by row
The analysis card is the fixed block at the top of every analysis. Code fills it with the engine's numbers, and the written explanation underneath refers back to it.
What it is
When you ask for an analysis, the reply opens with a card. The card holds every number: the code puts them there, and the model's text below explains them. If the text and the card ever differ, the card holds the computed figures.
In the chat column the card appears in a short form: the pair, the price, the move of the current candle and one row of five trend arrows. Opening it shows the full form described here.
The price line
The header names the pair and the market, for example "BTC/USDT · Spot". On the right sit the price, the move of the current candle on the selected timeframe, and the time of the run. The small (i) beside the pair says that the structure uses the last 80 closed candles per chart and that the forming candle counts for RSI and breaks. When the price is older than 30 seconds the card uses the last close and marks it stale.
Five timeframes
The tabs 1M, 1W, 1D, 4H and 1H switch the chart. Each tab is a separate reading of the same pair, so the same card holds five small analyses side by side.
The chart and its zones
The chart shows the 80 closed candles of the selected timeframe plus one hollow candle for the candle still forming. The legend reads "Hollow = forming candle". Support zones sit below the price and resistance zones above it, drawn as shaded bands, with markers on the swing highs and swing lows the engine found.
The structure ledger
Under the chart, one row per timeframe lists the trend, the support, the resistance and the RSI 14.
- Trend. Up, Neutral or Down with an arrow. A small ▼ or ▲ with a price marks a move past a swing whose candle has not closed. Notes such as "Needs more swings" or "History too short" appear when the chart cannot give a reading.
- Support and resistance. The nearest zone below and above the price, with its range and its number of touches. When the price sits inside a zone, one cell reads "In zone". "Broke" followed by a price means the price went through that edge and the candle has not closed yet. "Open space on this chart" means no zone exists on that side.
- RSI 14. One number with one decimal, shown as momentum beside the trend.
The gap line
Below the ledger, one line measures the room between support and resistance on the selected timeframe. It reads like this, with illustrative numbers: "near gap 1,250 USD · 1.33×ATR · key gap 3,400 USD · 3.62×ATR · ATR(14) 940".
- Gap. The distance in USD from the nearest edge of the support zone below the price to the nearest edge of the resistance zone above it. The price sits between those two edges, so a zone that contains the price lies inside the gap.
- ×ATR. The same gap divided by ATR(14) of that timeframe, the average true range over 14 candles with Wilder smoothing. It says how many typical candle ranges fit in the gap, so 1.33×ATR means the gap is 1.33 times the average range of one candle. The ATR(14) value itself closes the line.
- Near and key. The near gap uses the nearest zone on each side. The key gap uses, on each side, the nearest zone that sits at least 1 × ATR away from the price. When the nearest zone already sits that far, it counts as both, and on that side the two gaps use the same zone.
A dash replaces a gap when either side has no zone to measure to. The line is hidden when ATR is unavailable, and it follows the timeframe tab you select.

How to read it
Start with the trend column and compare the rows, from 1M down to 1H. Then look at where the price sits between the support and resistance of the timeframe you care about, and finish with RSI. The written analysis then makes more sense, because it describes these same rows in words.
Common mistakes
- Reading the text instead of the card. The card holds the figures; the text explains them.
- Mixing timeframes in one picture. Take the zones from one tab at a time, then compare.
- Mistaking the hollow candle for a closed one. It can still change shape until it closes.
- Treating a zone or a trend as a certainty. They describe the past, crypto trading carries a real risk of losing money, up to the whole amount invested, and nothing here is financial advice.
Questions
Why is one candle hollow?
It is the candle still forming. It counts for RSI and for break checks but never confirms a swing.
What does "stale" mean?
The live price was older than 30 seconds, so the card shows the last close and labels it.
Where do the numbers come from?
From the engine's code, using spot candles. The model only explains them.
