Bulls Power and Bears Power (Elder-Ray)
Two bars that show how far buyers pushed the price above its average (Bulls) and sellers pushed it below (Bears).
La idea en pocas palabras
The moving average is the market's consensus of value. The high of a candle shows the most buyers could achieve; the low shows the most sellers could. Comparing each with the average shows the strength of each side.
Cómo se calcula
Bulls Power is the candle's high minus a 13-period EMA; Bears Power is the low minus that EMA.
Bulls Power = high − EMA(close, 13)
Bears Power = low − EMA(close, 13)Cómo usarlo
- In an uptrend (EMA rising), look to buy when Bears Power is negative but rising: sellers are losing strength.
- In a downtrend, look to sell when Bulls Power is positive but falling.
Sacar conclusiones
- Bulls Power making lower highs while the price makes higher highs is a warning that buyers are tiring (divergence).
Ejemplo
EURUSD is in an uptrend. On a pullback Bears Power drops to −0.0040, then rises to −0.0015 over three candles while the EMA keeps rising: a typical Elder-Ray buying setup.
Los precios de los ejemplos son ilustrativos.
Ten cuidado con
- Use them together with the trend direction, not on their own.
