When the ##Balance--of--PowerBOP crosses above zero a buy signal is given.

As this will be a buy signal in bearish territory and this type of signal is more likely to be a whipsaw fakeout.

Sell Signal

Also when the ++Balance--of--PowerBOP is declining, the market is in a downwards trend, some traders use this as a sell signal but it is best to wait for a confirmation by moving below zero mark because this will be a sell signal in bullish territory and this type of signal is more likely to be a fake out.

Divergence Forex

In trading, divergences between the Balance of Power & price can be used to effectively spotting potential reversal and/or trend continuation points in currency movement. There are different types of divergences:

Classic Divergence - Trend reversal signal

Hidden Divergence - Trend continuation

Forex Overbought-Oversold Conditions

This BOP can be used to identify potentially overbought & oversold conditions in price movement.

  • Overbought-Oversold levels can be used to provide an early signal for potential trend reversals.
  • These levels are generated when indicator clusters its tops & bottoms thus setting up the overbought and oversold levels around those values.

However, price might also stay at these overbought and oversold levels & continue moving in that direction for a while and thus its always good to wait until the Balance of Power crosses over the Zero mark.

From the example below, even though the ##Balance--of--PowerBOP showed the price was oversold, price continued heading downwards until the indicator crossed over to above Zero.
