📘 Crypto Indicators #57 — Price Oscillator: Catch Trends Before They Break Out
Want to know if a move is strong or just noise?
The Price Oscillator gives you momentum + trend clarity — in one glance.
⚡️ This tool blends two moving averages to signal both trend strength and entry timing.
🔍 What is the Price Oscillator?
The Price Oscillator is a momentum indicator that shows the difference between two moving averages — typically an EMA(12) and EMA(26).
✅ It looks like MACD, but simpler
✅ It works well for breakout trading, trend confirmation, and divergence spotting
✅ When the oscillator crosses above/below zero — a shift is happening
📈 How to Read the Price Oscillator
📈 Above 0 → Bullish territory
📉 Below 0 → Bearish territory
🔁 Crossing the zero line = possible trend reversal
🔄 Divergence between price and oscillator → warning of reversal
💥 The higher above zero, the stronger the uptrend — and vice versa.
🧪 Trading Strategies Using the Price Oscillator
✅ Breakout confirmation:
If price breaks resistance and the oscillator crosses above zero → buy confirmation
✅ Divergence spotting:
If price is making new highs but the oscillator isn’t → trend may be weakening
✅ Trend continuation entries:
Enter on pullbacks while oscillator stays above zero
