Trend State vs BTC
Regime· DE: Trend-Zustand gegen BTC
A mechanical three-way label of an altcoin's price ratio to Bitcoin: UP when the ratio is above its 50-day SMA and the 50-day SMA above the 200-day SMA, DOWN when both relations are reversed, BASING otherwise. It replicates the "uptrending / basing / downtrending" labels of alt-vs-BTC screeners so their information content can be measured. The label lags a trend by roughly 80 days by construction (synthetic regimes: median 79, range 52–115).
Calculation
ratio = close(ALTUSDT)/close(BTCUSDT); SMA50, SMA200 simple on the ratio; UP: ratio > SMA50 && SMA50 > SMA200; DOWN: ratio < SMA50 && SMA50 < SMA200; BASING: else; undefined before day 200 of a pair.
