The Disparity Index is like that one friend who always knows what's up with prices, measuring where an asset’s latest closing price is chillin' compared to a certain moving average. It drops the deets as a percentage. 🔥
People usually shout out Steve Nison for this gem, all thanks to his lit book, "Beyond Candlesticks". 📚
The Disparity Index can flex either positive or negative vibes.
- When it's positive, it means the asset’s price is on a crazy, upward climb. 🚀
- When negative, it's like "whoa, slow down," the price is in a race to the bottom. 😬
- A vibe of zero? That’s when the asset's chillin’ exactly with its moving average. 😎
When the Disparity Index pulls a "cross the zero line" move, it drops major signal vibes for traders.
It’s like your early warning system for a huge trend change, and yeah, the price is gonna follow suit. 📈
If things get too extra in either direction, it might mean a price checkpoint is about to pop off. 🛑
Nison’s book hints that a positive reading means "yo, overbought much?" and a negative one is basically "bruh, it's oversold." 😵
Since overbought and oversold levels are ready for a quick price flip, the Disparity Index is 🔥 for knowing when riding an asset's trend could be a major risk.
