Aftershock by Session [SAKANE]

How it works

The Aftershock by Session indicator analyzes price returns across three major global trading sessions: Asia-Pacific (APAC), Europe (EU), and United States (US). It calculates cumulative session returns, allowing traders to visualize how market momentum shifts between different time zones after significant events.

The indicator offers multiple smoothing options including Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Ehlers SuperSmoother. By tracking open-to-close price movements for each session, it provides a structural view of market dynamics beyond traditional price action analysis.

Why it may be useful

This indicator offers a unique perspective on market movements by breaking down price action across different global sessions. It helps traders understand how major events trigger market responses and which regions lead or lag in momentum, providing insights beyond traditional technical analysis.

By visualizing geo-temporal market dynamics, traders can gain a more nuanced understanding of capital flow and regional market sentiments. The Aftershock indicator transforms abstract market movements into clear, actionable insights about how and where market momentum originates.

When to explore it

The Aftershock indicator is most effective on daily charts, particularly after significant macro events like policy announcements, geopolitical shifts, or major economic releases. It works best when analyzing markets with global interconnectivity, such as cryptocurrencies, forex, and international stock indices.

Traders should use this tool when seeking to understand structural market momentum and regional variations in market response. It is particularly valuable for event-driven traders who want to track how different global sessions interpret and react to key market catalysts.
