Crowd Trap Engine (Exhaustion/Reversal) [Metrify]
Crowd Trap Engine is designed to spot crowded / overextended market conditions where price may be running too hard in one direction and is more vulnerable to exhaustion, pause, or reversal.
It combines multiple factors (trend, momentum, breakout behavior, volatility, volume pressure, and stretch from equilibrium) to detect when traders are likely piling in late.
When a diamond appears, it signals a high probability that the market may “take a breath” (slow down, consolidate, or react) before continuing or changing direction.
What this indicator is best used for
Visuals
Note: Best used with market structure, support/resistance, and price action confirmation
