The True Strength Index (TSI) is basically a vibe check oscillator, swinging between the extremes of -100 and +100, chilling at a standard zero spot. 😎
When the vibe is positive, the TSI is livin' on the plus side, hinting at a bullish market feeling ✨ (aka, everyone’s feelin' good about the stocks).
Flip the script, the vibe's negative if the TSI goes below zero, giving off some serious bearish vibes. 🐻
Our buddy William Blau cooked this up, and it’s got 2 main ingredients:
- The index line, your main character moment
- An exponential moving average of the TSI, aka the signal line—like its hype man
Traders are out here lookin' for these lit conditions:
- Overbought—when everyone's like "buy, buy, buy!" 📈
- Oversold—when peeps are in the "sell, sell, sell!" zone 📉
- Centerline crossover—when things cross the comfort line 🚦
- Divergence—watch for low-key clues hidden in the trends 👀
- Signal line crossover—spotting some crossover drama 💥
TSI is low key perfect for spotting when the market's being extra or, like, too chill through its overbought or oversold vibes 🌊. Look for moving signals or see if the trend's gonna ghost ya with divergence.
It's usually not rollin' solo and likes to team up with other signals for those strong market moves. 🕺🏻
