Reading Trace Analysis
Confidence Context
Trace explains why confidence is high or low:
"85% confidence driven by strong momentum across multiple timeframes, confirmed by rising volume and institutional accumulation patterns."
SMC Integration
When SMC indicators are present:
"Price is approaching a bullish order block at $175.50, coinciding with an unfilled fair value gap. Institutional buyers likely to defend this zone."
Timeframe Alignment
Multi-timeframe analysis:
"Bullish signals align across 1h, 4h, and daily timeframes, suggesting strong trend continuation rather than a short-term bounce."

Trace + SMC
For Pro users, Trace integrates SMC concepts:
Order Block Analysis
"The daily order block at $145.20-$146.80 represents the last institutional buying zone before the recent rally. Expect support if price retraces."
Fair Value Gap Analysis
"An unfilled FVG exists between $152.30-$154.10. Price often returns to fill these inefficiencies before continuing the trend."
Liquidity Analysis
"Significant stop losses clustered below $140. A sweep of this liquidity could trigger a reversal - watch for rejection candles."
Common Questions
Why does analysis sometimes conflict with the signal?
Analysis presents multiple perspectives. A BUY signal might mention bearish risks - that's balanced analysis, not contradiction.
Can I save analyses?

Analysis uses real-time data (Pro) or 15-minute delayed data (Free).
