Boss Oscillator [Crypto Trading FR]

23 May 2021

The Boss Oscillator is a momentum indicator using support and resistance levels and refers to the position of the closing price in relationship to the price range over a period of time. It is calculated as the difference between the close and the low, divided by the price range (the difference between the high and low over a certain period of time). Thus, the indicator takes a value between 0,1 and -0,1 and is expressed in percentage points. 

A Boss Oscillator value over 0,92% (yellow) indicates that the security is OVERBOUGHT and a crossover below that threshold represents a potential sell signal while a value below -0,92% (red) indicates that the security is OVERSOLD and a crossover above that threshold indicates a potential buy signal.
