Financial Intelligence
Markets move when
forces disagree.
We map where price, volatility, momentum, and liquidity diverge.
Where the market itself
is conflicted.
Most market tools focus on price. Some try to forecast direction. Tension Labs focuses on something else: what the market is actually saying.
When volatility, momentum, and liquidity diverge, price alone becomes an incomplete explanation. We surface those divergences. We do not resolve them.
Metrics
What We Surface
Volatility Context
Where price sits relative to its own historical volatility envelope, not a market-wide benchmark.
Momentum State
Whether recent price movement is accelerating, decelerating, or diverging from the primary trend.
Liquidity Memory
Price zones where trading has concentrated — and zones where price tends to move with less resistance.
Contextual Tensions
Explicit descriptions of where these layers disagree, leaving interpretation entirely to the user.
Example Case:A stock trading near the lower bound of its volatility range, with weakening momentum but strong liquidity support, creates tension between mean reversion and continuation. Tension Labs surfaces that disagreement — without deciding which force will dominate.
