Market Sentiment Technicals
By LuxAlgoJun 11, 2024
Market Sentiment Technicals is an indicator on Vela, our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.
Market Sentiment Technicals answers a single question: what does the weight of the technical evidence say? It normalizes and averages momentum oscillators (RSI, Stochastic %K, Stochastic RSI Fast, CCI, Bull Bear Power), trend tools (moving averages, Bollinger Bands, Supertrend, linear regression), and price action market structures into one sentiment value, confluence scoring in indicator form. Three displays carry the result: a per-component histogram panel, a sentiment meter, and an oscillator.
How to Trade the Market Sentiment Technicals?
- Histogram panel: normalized sentiment per component plus their synthesized average. See which techniques agree and which dissent.
- Sentiment meter: the averaged reading condensed into a quick bullish, sideways, or bearish verdict.
- Oscillator extremes: current and historical strength expose overbought and oversold conditions before potential reversals.
- Divergence: price action that fails to match the oscillator flags a possible trend change.
Trend components other than linear regression are normalized from their own buy and sell signals: price is tracked against the extremes set since the last flip, then smoothed by an adjustable simple moving average of 3 periods. Linear regression is scored from the correlation of price with time.
