Trinity Smart-Money Index (TSMI)
TSMI reads the behaviour of larger, higher-conviction addresses — how their holdings concentrate and rotate. The premise is that the flow of larger holders is informative about the maturing or exhausting of a move. It is a behavioural reading, not a directional call.
Concept overview
TSMI reads the behaviour of larger, higher-conviction addresses — how their holdings concentrate and rotate. The premise is that the flow of larger holders is informative about the maturing or exhausting of a move. It is a behavioural reading, not a directional call.
Phase interpretation (0-100 scale)
- 0-25Large holders distributing
- 25-50Net distribution / neutral
- 50-75Net accumulation
- 75-100Large holders accumulating
These bands are interpretive: they are read as a position, never as a buy or sell trigger.
Historical context
Across cycles, phases of large-holder accumulation have tended to coincide with quieter, lower-attention regimes, while distribution has tended to cluster into crowded, late-stage advances. Reading TSMI against attention (TSS) sharpens both.
Strengths & limitations
TSMI's strength is behavioural insight into larger holders. Its limitation is that address-level behaviour is a proxy — it frames intent, it does not confirm it.
