  Using Moodix in Medium‑Term Time Frames

(4‑hour to 30‑minute charts; trades that last several days or weeks)

4.1  Why add a weekly lens?

Medium‑term traders ride volatility but still stay in line with the dominant trend. Moodix boosts the odds by pairing its standard Moodix Index™ with a second gauge—the weekly sentiment. Together they tell you where the market wants to go this week and when a pull‑back is worth buying or fading.

4.2  What exactly is “weekly sentiment”?

  • Weekly sentiment is the sum of all breaking‑news Impact Scores recorded from Monday’s open to Friday’s close.
  • In the app you see it as a histogram under the price chart.
  • Zero at the week’s start, then step‑by‑step accumulation.
  • Green bars = bullish news, red bars = bearish news.
  • A glance reveals whether the current narrative is building, exhausting, or flipping.

4.3  Reading the week as it unfolds

1. Early phase (Monday–Tuesday): Focus on the direction of the first bars; a quick move into positive territory often signals a RiskOn week.

2. Mid‑week macro events: Moodix marks big releases (FOMC, ISM, NFP) with vertical lines; expect sentiment jolts around those times.

3. Late‑week confirmation: If weekly sentiment holds its sign through Thursday’s close, the bias usually persists into next week—unless a game‑changing headline appears.

4.4  Combining Moodix Index™ and weekly sentiment

Situation

Interpretation

Preferred action

RiskOn Index & weekly sentiment > 0

Bullish bias confirmed

Look for long entries

RiskOff Index & weekly sentiment < 0

Bearish bias confirmed

Look for shorts / hedges

Mixed signals

Tug‑of‑war; low conviction

 Reduce size; wait

 

4.5  Signal confirmation: buying the DIP in a positive week

1. Wait for a temporary counter‑trend move (DIP) driven by a headline or data miss.

2. Check that the weekly sentiment merely pulls back but stays above zero.

3. Enter when price stabilises and the Moodix Index remains RiskOn.

4. Result: you buy weakness inside a proven bullish narrative.

4.6  Signal rejection: ignoring the DIP in a negative week

Same price pattern, but environment = RiskOff + negative weekly sentiment. A bounce is more likely to fail; Moodix treats it as noise. Stand aside until sentiment clarifies—i.e., until the next RiskOn/RiskOff wave reaches at least its average strength threshold.

 

4.7  Quick checklist for medium‑term trades

1. Open the weekly sentiment chart on Monday.

2. Note the sign (positive / negative) and track its build‑up each day.

3. Align with the current Moodix Index wave (RiskOn / RiskOff).

4. For entries, target DIPs (or rallies) that move against the dominant weekly mood.

5. Always re‑evaluate after major macro events—vertical lines on the chart.
