Doc's Kinetic Energy

168
Originally conceived as a market speedometer, Kinetic Energy (KE) evolved into a measure of how much participation is driving price movement. Inspired by the classical physics equation:

KE = ½mv²

where volume acts as mass (m) and price velocity (v) is calculated from the rate of price displacement over a fixed lookback period. The resulting KE value is a directionless measure of market activity that increases when both participation and movement are strong.

The companion Power calculation measures the change in Kinetic Energy over time:

Power = ΔKE

helping identify whether market activity is expanding or contracting. Together, KE and Power answer two simple questions:

How much is happening? and Is it increasing or decreasing?

Both KE and Power are expressed as percentiles, making interpretation straightforward:

Above 80: High energy or unusually active market conditions.
Below 20: Low energy or dormant market conditions.
Rising Power: Market activity is accelerating.
Falling Power: Market activity is decelerating.

KE is intentionally directionless and is best used alongside a directional indicator to distinguish between active, committed market moves and low-energy price action.
