7D vs 30D Timeframes
The system produces two regime scores. Only the Liquidity pillar differs between them.
The key difference
| Pillar | 7D Regime | 30D Regime |
|---|---|---|
| Price & Structure | Fear & Greed Index (point-in-time) | Same: identical calculation |
| Liquidity ★ | Short-window rolling averages | Long-window rolling averages |
| Derivatives | Current funding rate, 24h OI change, liquidation ratios | Same: identical calculation |
| Volatility | OI change magnitude + liquidation vol | Same: identical calculation |
★ The Liquidity pillar uses rolling windows for ETF flows and stablecoin supply. A shorter window captures recent momentum; a longer window filters noise to show the sustained trend.
Why only Liquidity changes?
Liquidity changes ★
Flow data is inherently time-dependent. $500M of ETF inflows over 7 days is very different from $500M over 30 days; the latter is less urgent. The time window changes the interpretation.
Price & Structure: unchanged
Fear & Greed is a point-in-time reading. Today's index value is the same whether you're computing a 7D or 30D regime: there's no meaningful “7-day version” of the current sentiment score.
Derivatives: unchanged
Funding rate, OI change, and liquidation cascade are all near-term measurements. Today's funding rate signals today's positioning. A 30-day average funding rate would obscure the signal entirely.
Volatility: unchanged
OI change magnitude and liquidation spike ratios are already relative measurements (comparing today to a rolling average). They're self-contained and don't benefit from a separate long-window version.
When to use which
- · Catches early momentum shifts
- · Useful for timing entries and exits
- · More sensitive: flips more easily
- · Check when you're deciding whether to enter now
- · Filters short-term noise
- · Shows the sustained trend
- · Stable: changes are more meaningful
- · Check first for your overall directional bias
Reading divergence
Both agree (bullish): high conviction
Sustained bull conditions confirmed on both windows. Size up to full allocation.
7D bullish, 30D neutral: early breakout
Recent flows are strong, but the broader trend hasn't turned yet. Possible breakout, not yet confirmed.
7D neutral, 30D bullish: temporary weakness
Near-term flows softening within a broader uptrend. Likely a pause, not a reversal.
Both agree (bearish): high conviction short/flat
Downtrend visible on both windows. Sustained outflows and derivative stress.
7D noisy, 30D stable: trust the 30D
Short-term flows volatile (one large inflow day, then outflows resume). 30D shows the real trend is still down.
Summary
| Aspect | 7D Regime | 30D Regime |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Short-term momentum | Medium-term trend |
| Liquidity window | Short rolling average | Long rolling average |
| Other pillars | Identical to 30D | Identical to 7D |
| Sensitivity | High: reacts quickly | Low: filters noise |
| Best for | Entry/exit timing | Overall bias setting |
| Trust level | Higher when aligned with 30D | Always: provides core view |
