A long-only single-instrument VOLUME-CONFIRMED MOMENTUM-CONTINUATION strategy on BNBUSDT perpetual futures using 4-hour bars and OHLCV-only data, with a daily-bar bull regime filter. This proposal fills BNB's mechanism gap (only BnbFourHourVolumeBreakoutLong currently — 1 strategy vs 3-4 for every other major asset) while consciously AVOIDING the documented cross-asset failure patterns: (1) NOT an RSI(2) mean-reversion replication (analyst proved this is BTC-specific and fails on altcoins with -22.9% return on ETH); (2) NOT a daily trend strategy on mid-cap altcoin (altcoin_daily_minimum_param_trend pattern killed AVAX/SOL Donchian); (3) NOT options (framework unsupported). The mechanism is mechanistically DISTINCT from BnbFourHourVolumeBreakoutLong: the existing Vol Breakout requires Donchian high break AS WELL AS volume confirmation, firing only on rare regime-change events. This proposes a pure volume-surge momentum-continuation that fires more frequently DURING established trends — capturing intra-trend momentum-acceleration events rather than only breakouts. The trigger: 4H bar with volume > 2.0× 14-bar avg AND bullish close (close > open) AND daily close > 200-SMA AND prior 4H bar did NOT meet the volume+bullish condition (edge detection). This signals a momentum-acceleration event within an established uptrend — the kind of capital-flow event that produces continuation over 4-12 hours. Economic mechanism for BNB specifically: (a) BNB has quarterly BNB-burn events that produce systematic buying pressure with elevated volume — these are catalyst-driven momentum events; (b) Binance ecosystem traders systematically buy BNB during exchange utility-cycle phases (token utility tier upgrades, BNB Chain integration milestones); (c) BNB has medium-leverage retail open interest that responds to volume-confirmed breakouts with cascade-buying. Each of these flows produces volume-confirmed bullish bars that mark momentum-acceleration, with 4-12 hour continuation typical. This is the SAME 'altcoin momentum-continuation' economic argument that justifies the ETH/SOL overbought RSI strategies, applied via a DIFFERENT signal mechanism (volume + price, not RSI velocity). Cross-asset transfer is justified per the analyst's filter: BNB has the leverage + staking dynamics that produce continuation on momentum signals (same as ETH/SOL); the volume-burst trigger captures these flows directly. Only 4 explicit parameters (volume multiplier, volume lookback, regime SMA period, stop pct).
