200 Weekly MA Entry
The 200 MA is the most watched institutional level. This scanner uses the 200-period MA on the 4h chart (equivalent to ~33 days, a proxy for longer-term support). When price touches and bounces off this level with a bullish candle, it signals a high-probability long entry used by institutional traders.
What is this scanner?
The 200 MA is the most watched institutional level. This scanner uses the 200-period MA on the 4h chart (equivalent to ~33 days, a proxy for longer-term support).

The 200 Weekly MA Entry scanner operates across 4h timeframes and refreshes every 300 seconds, ensuring you see fresh signals as conditions develop.
Origin & History
Chart pattern analysis has been a cornerstone of technical analysis since Charles Dow's foundational work in the early 1900s and Richard Schabacker's "Technical Analysis and Stock Market Profits" (1932).
The QSA implementation of 200 Weekly MA Entry builds on this foundation with quantitative thresholds calibrated specifically for crypto perpetual futures markets. The 24/7 nature of crypto trading and the unique dynamics of DEX markets like Hyperliquid require different parameters than traditional market approaches.
Detection Criteria
Price Analysis
Price action analysis — evaluates candle patterns, trend structure, and key level proximity.
Ema Analysis
Exponential Moving Averages — tracks trend direction and dynamic support/resistance levels.
Multi-Timeframe Validation
Cross-references the signal across multiple timeframes to ensure alignment and reduce false positives.
Volume Confirmation
Requires volume to be above the 20-period average to confirm institutional participation in the move.
Grading Breakdown
Textbook 200 weekly ma entry signal with 4+ domain categories confirming, rare category multipliers contributing, and strong regime alignment. These represent the top 1-2% of signals.
Strong 200 weekly ma entry signal with 3+ categories confirming. Good domain diversity and meaningful rarity bonuses from contributing scanners.
Valid 200 weekly ma entry detection with 2-3 confirming categories. The core pattern is present but lacks the depth of confirmation needed for higher grades.
Single-category 200 weekly ma entry signal or one with limited domain diversity. Pattern detected but conviction is low — worth monitoring, not acting on alone.
Common Mistakes
Trading incomplete patterns. A cup and handle needs the handle to form; a head and shoulders needs the right shoulder to complete.
Ignoring volume on the breakout. Pattern breakouts without volume confirmation have much lower success rates.
Seeing patterns that aren't there. Confirmation bias makes traders see formations in random noise. Require clean, textbook patterns.
Not adjusting expectations for the crypto market's 24/7 nature. Patterns that take days in stocks may develop in hours in crypto.
How to Trade
Entry Context
Wait for the pattern to complete before entering. A head and shoulders, cup and handle, or wedge needs to finish forming and break its neckline/trendline with volume before it's actionable.
Risk Management
Stop loss should be placed at the pattern's invalidation level — inside the pattern for breakouts, or beyond the pattern extreme. If the pattern fails, the risk is defined and limited.
Target Framework
Use the measured move technique: project the height of the pattern from the breakout point. Most chart patterns have well-defined target projections that have been backtested for decades.
