Bulls Power Stock Indices Technical Analysis and Bulls Power Stock Indices Trading Signals
Developed by Alexander Elder
Bulls Power is used to estimate power of the Bulls (Buyers). Bulls Power estimates the balance of power between the bulls and bears.
This indices technical indicator aims at identifying if a bullish stock indices trend will continue or if the stock index price has reached a point where it might reverse.
Calculation
A Indices Price bar has 4 parameters: the Opening, Closing, High and Low of the stock index price bar.
Each Indices Price bar either closes higher or lower than the previous stock index price bar.
The highest stock index price will indicate the maximum power of the Bulls within a stock indices price period.
The lowest stock index price will indicate the maximum power of the Bears within a stock indices price period.
This Indicator uses the High of the stock index price and a Moving Average (Exponential)
The moving Average represents the middle ground between sellers and buyers for a certain stock index price period.
Therefore:
Bulls Power = High Indices Price - Exponential Moving Average
