Stochastic XAUUSD Indicator Over-bought and Oversold Levels

The stochastic oscillator spots overbought or oversold spots. Overbought is above 80%, and oversold below 20%.

It is crucial to consider not only the Stochastic oscillator technical indicator when the %K or %D lines touch or cross the overbought/oversold thresholds, but also when they cross back through these levels.

Similar to other XAUUSD momentum indicators, such as the RSI indicator, the Stochastic oscillator can remain within the overbought and oversold levels for an extended period. When this XAUUSD stochastic indicator remains in these levels for a prolonged duration, it suggests a strong upward trend (overbought) or a strong downward trend (oversold).

When stochastic lines cross back from overbought or oversold zones, it often signals a trend shift ahead.

A trader may seek additional signals to enhance the reliability of over-sold or over-bought levels if:

  • Before and Prior to Buying, the %K & %D lines turn upward from below 5 %.
  • A reading that is floating near 5% means that xauusd bears are in control and there is selling of the xauusd. A trader should wait out for the Stochastic Indicator to move back above 5% as a sign that selling pressure is easing.

Confirmation of a Buy signal occurs once the stochastic oscillator technical indicator moves out of the oversold region and subsequently returns to oversold territory, only to immediately turn upwards again without lingering in the oversold zone.

  • Before and Prior to Selling, the %K and %D lines turn downwards from above 95 %.
  • A reading that is floating above 95% means that xauusd bulls are in control and there is buying of the xauusd. One should wait out for the Stochastic to move below 95% as a sign that buying pressure is easing.
  • The sell signal gets to be confirmed when stochastic indicator moves below overbought, then after a while returns to overbought but this times moves downward immediately without staying at the over-bought.
