Price Dynamics
Move Symmetry Score
A measure of how much price retraces against the trend direction for every point it moves in the trend direction, scored 0 to 1 where lower scores indicate stronger directional dominance.
How Draconic reads it
A symmetry score of 0.40 means counter-moves are only 40% the size of trend moves: genuine directional dominance, the structural character of a tradeable trend. A score of 0.70 means buyers are absorbing 70% of every sell wave; the market is oscillating with a slight directional bias, not trending with conviction. Most trend indicators cannot distinguish between these two conditions. Supertrend, EMA alignment, and RSI direction all read identically in both cases. Move symmetry is the metric that reveals the underlying structure. Scores above 0.65 in a "trending" market are a warning that the trend may be a high-symmetry drift that reverses on any sustained contrary pressure.
