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).
L’idée en termes simples
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.
Mode de calcul
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)Comment l’utiliser
- 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.
Tirer des conclusions
- Bulls Power making lower highs while the price makes higher highs is a warning that buyers are tiring (divergence).
Exemple
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.
Les prix des exemples sont donnés à titre d’illustration.
Points de vigilance
- Use them together with the trend direction, not on their own.
