Indicator Overview

The Absolute Strength Indicator plots two separate lines to display the strength of buyers and sellers:

• The green line represents buyer strength
• The red line represents the seller's strength

When one line moves above the other, it signals a buy (green line above) or sell (red line above) opportunity. Unlike RSI, this oscillator differentiates between buying and selling strength separately, providing a clearer view of market momentum.

Indicator in a Bullish Trend

In the 1-hour chart of USD/CHF, when the buyer strength line (green) moves above the seller strength line (red), it signals a bullish trend in the market.

At this point, traders can enter a buy position with reduced risk.

Indicator in a Bearish Trend

The following example illustrates the 30-minute chart of CAD/JPY. When the red line crosses above the green line from below, it indicates the beginning or continuation of a bearish trend.

Traders can enter a sell position after confirming their trading strategy.
