Green Columns (Bullish):

• Appear when price is above the upper Donchian Channel boundary.
  
• Bright green in the top zone (25-50): Strong bullish trend.
  
• Darker green in the lower zone (0-25): Weak/moderate bullish trend.
  
• A full-height bright green column indicates a very strong upward move.
  

Red Columns (Bearish):

• Appear when price is below the lower Donchian Channel boundary.
  
• Bright red in the top zone (25-50): Strong bearish trend.
  
• Darker red in the lower zone (0-25): Weak/moderate bearish trend.

Black Columns (Neutral):

• Indicate no trend or market consolidation.
  
• Signal to wait for trend emergence.
  

Expanding Steps:

• Steps expanding downward from the upper edge (50) suggest diminishing momentum.
