Definition of Aroon Indicator

The Aroon Indicator was developed by Tushar Chande in 1995. It is designed to identify trends in a stock price, as well as the strength of those trends. The Aroon Indicator is made up of two lines: the Up Indicator (which measures how long it has been since the highest high within a given period) and the Down Indicator (which measures how long it has been since the lowest low within a given period).

How Aroon Indicator Works

The Aroon Down Indicator is calculated by subtracting the value of the Down Indicator from 100. This means that when the Down Indicator is at its highest, the Aroon Down Indicator will be at its lowest, and vice versa.

Interpretation of Aroon Indicator

Introduction

The Aroon Indicator is a technical analysis tool used to identify trends in financial markets. It was developed by Tushar Chande in 1995 and consists of two lines – the Aroon Up and Aroon Down lines.

What is the Aroon Indicator?

The Aroon Indicator is a momentum oscillator that measures the time elapsed between the highest and lowest price over a period of time. It helps traders identify whether a stock or other asset is trending or not, and can also help them determine when a trend is weakening or reversing.

Understanding the Aroon Down Indicator

The Aroon Down Indicator is one of the two lines that make up the Aroon Indicator. It measures the time elapsed since the lowest low during a given period. The Aroon Up line measures the time elapsed since the highest high during a given period.

Calculation of the Aroon Down Indicator

The Aroon Down Indicator is calculated by taking the number of periods since the lowest low and dividing it by the total number of periods. The result is then multiplied by 100 to get a percentage value.

Interpretation of the Aroon Down Indicator

The Aroon Down Indicator can be used to identify bearish trends. When the indicator is above 70, it suggests that the asset is in a strong downtrend. When the indicator is below 30, it suggests that the asset is in an uptrend or range-bound.

Uses of the Aroon Down Indicator

  • Identifying bearish trends
  • Determining when to sell a stock or other asset
