## Chart Specification

Same as [SP500-Chart-Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sogosonnet/SP500-Chart-Dataset):

- OHLCV candlestick (Charles style) + Volume bars
- MA5 (blue dotted), MA60 (red dashed), MA120 (green solid)
- Bollinger Bands (grey shaded area, α=0.15)
- Percentage-normalized prices (scale-invariant across tickers)

## Label Definition

Thresholds adjusted for higher crypto volatility:

| Label | Return Range |
|-------|-------------|
| `down_7plus` | r < −7% |
| `down_5_7` | −7% ≤ r < −5% |
| `down_3_5` | −5% ≤ r < −3% |
| `up_3_5` | 3% < r ≤ 5% |
| `up_5_7` | 5% < r ≤ 7% |
| `up_7plus` | r > 7% |

> Returns in [−3%, +3%] are excluded as ambiguous.
