Unreached Highs/Lows Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Unreached Highs/Lows Oscillator highlights the amount of unreached high/low prices as a percentage over time, helping visualize trend strength and momentum from bullish and bearish market participants.
🔶 USAGE
This indicator measures the strength of directional price movements, helping traders visualize the strength of both the bullish and bearish market participants.
When prices are moving up with strength, the price structure will not come back to retest previous lows. Therefore, unreached lows keep adding up.
When prices are moving down with strength, they will not retest previous highs; therefore, unreached highs keep adding up.
As we can see on the chart, high readings of unreached highs (red) and low readings of unreached lows (green) are considered bearish, and a downtrend in price confirms this bias. Conversely, high readings of unreached lows and low readings of unreached highs are considered bullish. On the chart, this is reflected as an uptrend.
Additionally, the oscillator can reveal significant breakouts on the chart, with unreached highs or lows decreasing rapidly indicating that a large number of highs/lows have been reached.
Due to the oscillator being normalized, overbought and oversold levels are included.
In this gold chart, we have different examples of how to use the tool in conjunction with price behavior to understand the market. Let's dissect it step by step:
1. Uptrend: Bullish readings are above 80, and bearish readings are below 20. The market is trending up.
2. Range: Mixed readings around 50 for both bullish and bearish; the market is ranging.
3. Uptrend: The same as before. Bullish above 80 and bearish below 20.
4. Pullback: A bullish dip below 80 to 50 and a bearish reading below 20 indicates a pullback.
5. Range: Mixed readings. In this case, it is bullish above and below 80 and bearish above and below 20. The market is ranging.
6. Uptrend: Bullish above 80 and bearish below 20; the market keeps moving up.
7. Pullback: Bullish dips below 80 and bearish rises to 50 indicate a pullback.
8. Uptrend: As before, bullish is above 80 and bearish is below 20; the market is trending up.
This Bitcoin chart shows how to use extreme readings of 0 and 100 to detect potential reversals. When both readings are at extreme opposites, we set the threshold level at 100 and 0 instead of the default levels of 80 and 20 to better identify these areas.
As we can see, extreme readings at points 1 and 5 identify major reversals that lead to a change in trend. Extreme readings at points 2, 3, 4, and 6 identify minor reversals that do not lead to a change in trend.
From the settings panel, traders can adjust the length parameter. A smaller value measures smaller price movements, while a larger value measures larger price movements. A length value of 20 is used by default.
The chart shows how different values affect bullish and bearish measures.
