BTC/ETH Accumulation Scanner

Overview

This indicator uses a scoring system — five independent technical conditions each worth one point. When the score meets or exceeds your threshold, it plots a green ACC label on the chart, highlights the bar, and fires a TradingView alert.

Designed for accumulation, not short-term trading. The goal is to identify periods where multiple indicators simultaneously suggest an asset is undervalued relative to its trend, allowing you to build a position over time.

Best Assets Apply to BTCUSDT or ETHUSDT on Binance, Coinbase, or any major exchange feed in TradingView. Works on BTCUSD / ETHUSD spot pairs as well.

The Five Signals

#	Condition	Default Setting	Rationale
C1	RSI Oversold	RSI(14) < 40	Momentum is beaten down. On a weekly chart, RSI < 40 has historically marked major Bitcoin accumulation zones (e.g., 2018–19, 2022 bear market bottom).
C2	Below 200 EMA	Close < EMA(200)	Price is trading at a discount to the long-term trend. Institutional buyers often accumulate in this zone. The 200 EMA is the most-watched long-term level on crypto.
C3	MACD Bullish Cross	MACD(12,26,9) crossover	Short-term momentum is beginning to turn positive. The MACD line crossing above the signal line on a daily chart suggests early trend reversal.
C4	Lower Bollinger Band Touch	Close ≤ BB(20, 2.0) lower	Price is statistically stretched to the downside relative to its recent 20-period range. Often precedes mean-reversion bounces.
C5	Golden Cross	EMA(50) crosses above EMA(200)	Lagging but historically high-confidence signal that a new bull cycle is beginning. Rare — when this fires alongside other signals it is a strong confirmation.

Recommended Default: Min Score = 3 Three conditions aligning simultaneously on a daily or weekly chart is a meaningful confluence. Raise to 4 for rarer, higher-conviction entries with fewer false positives.

Dollar-Cost Averaging Approach Rather than placing a single large order on a score=3 signal, consider sizing your entries proportionally to the score: small at 3, medium at 4, larger at 5. This manages risk across multiple potential accumulation zones.

Configurable Parameters

Parameter	Default	Range	Notes
RSI Length	14	7–21	Standard; lower = more reactive
RSI Oversold Threshold	40	20–55	Lower = stricter; 30 for deep bear markets only
Fast EMA	50	—	Used for Golden Cross calculation
Slow EMA	200	—	Primary long-term trend reference
MACD Fast / Slow / Signal	12 / 26 / 9	—	Industry standard settings
BB Length	20	—	20-period standard deviation basis
BB StdDev Multiplier	2.0	—	2.0 = ~95% of price action contained within bands
Min Score to Trigger	3	1–5	The alert threshold — most important setting

TradingView Setup — Step by Step

Manual Input Required — No API Push Available TradingView does not provide a public API for uploading or pushing Pine Scripts programmatically. The script must be pasted manually into the Pine Script Editor. This is a TradingView platform limitation, not a tooling limitation. The steps below take under 2 minutes.

Loading the Script

Open TradingView in your browser and navigate to a chart for BTCUSDT or ETHUSDT.
Set your chart to Daily (1D) or Weekly (1W) timeframe using the toolbar at the top.
Click Pine Script Editor at the bottom of the screen (or press Alt+P).
Select all existing placeholder code in the editor (Ctrl+A) and delete it.
Open the file btc_eth_accumulation.pine in any text editor, select all (Ctrl+A), and copy (Ctrl+C).
Paste (Ctrl+V) the script into the TradingView Pine Editor.
Click "Add to chart" (the button to the right of "Save"). The indicator will appear on your chart immediately.

Setting Up the Alert

On the chart, find the indicator label (top-left of the chart pane). Hover over it and click the three-dot menu (···).
Select "Add alert on BTC/ETH Accumulation Scanner..."
In the alert dialog, the condition will auto-populate as Accumulation Signal.
Set Trigger to: Once Per Bar Close (recommended — avoids intra-bar noise).
Choose your notification method: App notification, Email, or Webhook.
The alert message is pre-formatted — it will include ticker, score, RSI, price, and timestamp.
Click Create. Repeat for the second asset (BTC and ETH separately).

Pro Tip: Run Two Separate Chart Tabs Open one tab for BTCUSDT and one for ETHUSDT, each with the indicator applied and an alert set. TradingView will notify you regardless of which tab is active.

Timeframe Guidance

Timeframe	Signal Frequency	Best For	Recommended Min Score
Weekly (1W)	Very rare (a few times per year)	Long-term accumulation, macro bottom identification	2–3
Daily (1D)	Occasional (several times per cycle)	Mid-term entries, building a position during corrections	3
4H / 1H	Frequent (not recommended for this strategy)	Short-term — not appropriate for accumulation	N/A

Risk Considerations

No indicator predicts macro bear markets. In a sustained downtrend (e.g., 2022 Fed rate-hike cycle), technical buy signals can fire repeatedly as price continues lower. Always consider macro context.
The Golden Cross (C5) is a lagging signal. By the time the 50 EMA crosses the 200 EMA, price may have already moved significantly. It is best used as confirmation, not as an entry trigger on its own.
Crypto is highly volatile. Even high-score signals in bull cycles can see 20–40% drawdowns before reversing. Sizing matters — do not over-allocate on any single signal.
This is not financial advice. This indicator is a decision-support tool. Always conduct your own due diligence and consider consulting a licensed financial advisor for investment decisions.

Suggested Position Sizing Framework Example for a $10,000 crypto allocation budget: Score 3 = deploy 20% ($2,000) · Score 4 = deploy 35% ($3,500) · Score 5 = deploy 45% ($4,500). Adjust percentages to your own risk tolerance.
