Concept
Most breakout-chasing systems react to the volume spike everyone already sees. Undercurrent Cadence flips that logic: it tracks a “quiet money” regime line that only updates on low-volume bars — the Negative Volume Index (NVI) — under the theory that large participants tend to move size without spiking volume. Once that undercurrent clearly leans one direction, the strategy waits for a de-trended cycle line (DPO) to tick back through zero as the actual timing trigger.
