Trading context

Why it matters

It's used to spot potential reversal zones in ranging markets. At the intermediate level, this becomes increasingly relevant as traders begin refining strategies, tightening risk controls, and reading the market more critically.

Example

How traders may see it

Plotted between 0 and 100, with 80/20 as common overbought/oversold levels. Most traders come across this while reviewing charts, monitoring news feeds, or checking their account dashboard, and being able to spot it quickly is a useful practical skill.
