The Absolute Strength Histogram is an indicator that measures the current strength in market. If the red line crosses the green line the bears are in control. If the green line crosses the red the market is in favor of the bulls.

Signals are created on line cross. They that can be used to EXIT or LONG/SHORT a trade. It is worth investing the time and fine-tune the settings: e.g. SuperSmoothed 16 and HMA 40 provides decent results. The colored histogram visualizes if any "strength" is existent and if a trend reversal can become more likely.
