Behavioural Reading
Pulse does not use regression, statistical forecasting, or econometric modeling. Instead, it reads markets through behaviour — the most direct, reliable, and observable form of market information.
Behavioural Reading is the foundation of the Pulse Method. It focuses on recurring structural behaviours rather than predicting outcomes.
Pulse Mini is the purest expression of this approach.
Markets Cannot Be Predicted — But They Can Be Read
Price does not move randomly. It follows recurring behavioural dynamics:
direction and momentum
compression and expansion
transitions and instability
loss or preservation of structural cohesion
These behaviours do not repeat identically, but they follow recognisable rhythms.
Pulse is designed to read what the market is doing right now, without forcing it into predictive formulas.
Why Pulse Focuses on Behaviour, Not Forecasting
Many systems attempt to forecast price using:
linear/polynomial regression
statistical projections
econometric models
curve fitting
These techniques assume:
stable volatility
stationary behaviour
predictable distributions
Crypto markets violate all these assumptions:
volatility is non-stationary
outliers dominate returns
regime shifts appear abruptly
behavioural cycles mutate rapidly
correlations break frequently
Forecasting becomes fragile. Behaviour remains reliable.
Structural Behaviour as the Core Signal
Pulse reads:
directional continuity
rhythm and slope
structural quality
pullback depth and frequency
expansion vs contraction
timing behaviour
It measures behaviour instead of predicting movement.
This produces:
cleaner structure
non-repainting logic
stable interpretation
cross-market consistency
The method becomes durable, even in harsh environments.
Isolating Real Direction
Pulse isolates direction through behavioural characteristics:
continuity of movement
coherence between swings
stability of rhythm
depth of corrections
preservation or breakdown of slope
No moving averages. No smoothing formulas. No model fitting.
Direction is observed, not calculated.
Avoiding Mathematical Prediction
Pulse avoids regression and statistical models not because they are “wrong”, but because markets consistently violate their assumptions.
As Kaufman would say:
Prediction is attractive in theory, but measurement is what survives the real market.
Pulse measures behaviour. It does not forecast it.
Mini as the Purest Form of Behavioural Reading
Pulse Mini applies the method with no predictive components:
recognising recurring behavioural patterns
isolating real market direction
highlighting clear vs unstable conditions
filtering chaotic environments
reading structure and coherence in real time
Mini does not use:
statistical forecasting
regression models
prediction engines
smoothing or recalculation
It reads. It does not guess.
This makes Pulse Mini:
simple
consistent
non-repainting
structurally honest
aligned with the core philosophy of the Method
