Buy zone ≤ Buy zone When the indicator drops to or below this threshold, the strategy doubles its weekly buy (Smart-DCA) or opens a long (Trade). It's the "cheap" regime — time to accumulate.

Trim zone ≥Sell zone ≥ Trim zoneSell zone When the indicator climbs to or above this, the strategy skips the weekly buy and trims 5% of the stack. Stretched regime. When the indicator climbs to or above this, the strategy exits to cash. Distribution regime.

Buy
When RS ≤ 0.85× → the asset is cheap vs BTC. Deploy 2× weekly budget into the asset.
Hold
When 0.85× < RS < 1.20× → deploy 1× weekly budget (fair-value zone).
Trim Sell
When RS ≥ 1.20× → the asset is rich vs BTC. Skip buy and trim 5% of stack.

≥ 1.20×
Stretched vs BTC.

The asset is trading 20%+ above its 180-day average ratio to BTC — the pair has overshot. Historically a window to lighten exposure; mean reversion has favored BTC strength after these moments.

≤ 0.85×
Weak vs BTC.

The asset is trading 15%+ below its 180-day average against BTC — on sale relative to the macro benchmark. Historically an entry window; pair mean-reversion has favored the asset's strength after these moments.

How to read it
An asset's strength against the global crypto benchmark, BTC. When the ratio drops below 0.85× its 180-day average, the asset is statistically weak vs BTC — historically an accumulation window.

The math is two lines: raw ratio = asset USD ÷ BTC USD, then relative strength = raw ratio ÷ 180-day SMA. The normalization removes long-term price drift, so only the cycle-scale deviation remains.

When the ratio sits at 1.0×, the asset is at its 6-month average pair-strength vs BTC — neutral. Below 0.85× = stretched bearish (selling at a discount to BTC). Above 1.20× = stretched bullish (the pair has front-run its trend).

On TA forums this style of indicator is called pair mean reversion. The bet is that an asset's ratio to BTC oscillates around a baseline that captures secular adoption, and short-term deviations tend to revert.

Why 180 days? Shorter windows (30-60d) chase noise; longer windows (year+) blur the signal across cycles. 180 days is a quarter-to-half cycle on most cryptos — long enough to be stable, short enough to react.

Asset selection: the indicator works for any asset measured against BTC — TAO, TIG, or any coin. The read is direct — RS low means the asset is cheap vs BTC (accumulate), RS high means rich vs BTC (trim). BTC itself isn't selectable here, since an asset's strength against itself is always 1.
