Swim — Read the Line, Area, and Stars
Follow Swim through its green line, dark area, and ☆ / 💫 references. Compare the visible changes over several candles before reading a short lift as lasting strength.

1. Separate the visible parts of Swim
This image focuses on Swim, the view introduced in the Swim & Pool guide. Start with the bright green line and the smoother edge of the dark area. Then locate the outlined lower star and the yellow upper symbols.
The green line and dark edge can change at different moments. Read both instead of treating every turn in the bright line as a change in the whole Swim picture.
| Visible part | What to observe |
|---|---|
| Bright green Swim line | Its visible rises, falls, and position relative to the dark edge. |
| Dark filled area and its edge | Whether the edge rises, holds, or rolls downward across several candles. |
| ☆ lower reference | The lower Swim reference marked by the outlined star. |
| 💫 upper reference | The upper Swim reference marked by the yellow symbol. |
| Horizontal dashed guides | Upper, middle, and lower visual references for comparing Swim positions. |
2. Read movement as well as color
The bright Swim line stays green as it moves both upward and downward. Green does not mean the line is rising on every candle. Compare the height of successive visible points.
A brief rise above the dark edge can be followed by a return into it. Watch whether the rise holds across later candles and whether the dark edge also begins to lift.
Some sections of the bright line are obscured by the dark fill in this image. Where the line is hidden, avoid assigning an exact value or assuming it has stopped changing. Use the full chart to inspect those sections.
3. Read the dark area separately
The dark area helps you follow another part of the Swim display. Its edge is smoother than the bright line, so a sudden green-line move and the broader dark shape may tell different parts of the story.
Watch the edge rather than the size of a black patch alone. A rising edge, a flat edge, and a falling edge are different appearances even when the fill remains dark.
In the Swim & Pool view, compare the area with Pool 1–5 as well. The fill alone does not tell you the separate state of each Pool item, and those Pool rows are not included in this crop.
4. Understand ☆ and 💫
These symbols mark Swim references, not automatic L/S instructions. Their positions include visual spacing, so the star’s vertical position is not a separate reading to measure against the dashed guides.
An upper symbol need not sit on the highest visible point of the bright line. Read it as the Swim reference symbol, not as a label for every sharp green peak.
Active symbols can move as Swim develops. A symbol shown on an earlier candle in a saved image does not prove it was already fixed there at that moment.
| Symbol | Meaning in Swim | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| ☆ | A lower Swim reference. | Observe whether later Swim readings lift from that area and maintain the improvement. |
| 💫 | An upper Swim reference. | Observe what Swim does after the marked upper area instead of assuming it must keep rising or immediately fall. |
5. Use the dashed guides as references
The upper green, middle gray, and lower warm-colored dashed lines give you fixed visual guides within this Swim view. Compare where Swim sits relative to them and how that position changes.
They are not price levels, profit targets, or instructions to open a position. Touching a guide does not promise that Swim or price will change direction next.
The image has no visible scale labels. Use the guides to compare position rather than estimating exact readings from the screenshot.
6. Walk through the supplied image
- Left — an earlier upper reference: the bright Swim line lifts toward the first yellow symbol, then falls back into the dark area. The symbol records that part of the Swim picture; it does not make the later decline inevitable.
- Left-center — the view weakens: the dark edge rolls downward and visible Swim sections appear lower. A short lift toward the middle guide does not turn into a lasting higher stretch.
- Middle — a lower Swim period: the dark edge stays low and an outlined star appears beneath it. Nearby green-line movements remain relatively small compared with the earlier upper section.
- Right-center — rebuilding becomes visible: more of the green line lifts toward and above the middle guide, while the dark edge gradually rises. Compare this sustained stretch with the smaller earlier attempts.
- Near the right — a sharp lift and retreat: the green line rises quickly, makes a taller peak, then falls back toward the dark area. A second yellow upper reference appears later in this part of the view.
- Latest boundary — the dark edge turns lower: it slopes downward toward and below the middle guide. The bright line is not clearly visible through the final filled section, so the screenshot does not establish its exact latest position.
7. Read the latest picture with its limits
The visible sequence is a lower Swim period, a recovery, and then a loss of height in the dark edge after the sharp rise on the right. That supports a reading of fading strength in the visible Swim shape, rather than an uninterrupted rise.
The hidden end of the green line limits what this crop can tell us. Inspect the full chart and the next completed candles before describing the latest Swim state more precisely.
Price candles, the market name, the selected interval, and Pool 1–5 are absent. This image does not establish an active Bull/Bear label, an L/S position, or the next price direction.
8. Watch three possible next developments
| Possible development | What to observe | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Swim rebuilds | The visible green line lifts and holds while the dark edge begins rising again. | Improvement is becoming more sustained across the Swim view. |
| The retreat continues | The dark edge keeps falling and visible Swim readings remain lower. | The earlier right-side strength continues to fade. |
| The picture stays mixed | Brief green-line lifts appear while the dark edge remains flat or lower. | A lasting shared improvement is not yet visible. |
9. Compare Swim with the wider iETsg0 view
- In Swim & Pool, compare all five Pool items and Pilot with the latest Swim behavior.
- Read the latest named state separately from historical Bull/Bear labels. This crop does not include those readouts.
- In One Million, compare the Swim row in Matrix, Power, and the Matrix count at the same candles.
- Use Trust and P/H/S/R for the price-chart view. S in that panel means Swim; S in a position label means Short.
- Keep the market and interval the same across comparisons. Watch completed candles and distinguish a short lift from one that persists.
- Read the latest symbols and colors as developing information. Their appearance can change before the current candle finishes.
