Resistance line state

Which descending-resistance timeframes are currently active for this instrument.

Observed: read at the minute itself
Unit: label
States: none, active_4h, active_1d, active_both

In plain English

Reports whether the standard descending-resistance detector has a qualifying line fitted to confirmed falling swing highs on the 4-hour timeframe, the daily timeframe, or both.

How to read it

This is a state, not a numeric strength score: active_4h, active_1d and active_both identify the active fits. After the 60-day warmup, none means neither has a qualifying candidate; before warmup the reading is absent. Standard fits require at least four touches, with swing spans of at least 45 days for the 4-hour fit or 21 days for the daily fit. Candidates revalidate at their timeframe closes and can be consumed by an hourly break.

Why a researcher might use it

Define populations with recorded resistance geometry, then distinguish distance to the line and support shape. When both fits are active, those companion measurements use the daily candidate.

What it does not prove

An active line does not guarantee resistance will hold or break. A change to none alone does not prove a breakout: revalidation can also remove a candidate. This standard family is distinct from the shorter-line detector, and it does not describe every line a person could draw.
