The Double Stochastic RSI Indicator is a momentum indicator which is based on the Stochastic Oscillator and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It is used help traders identify overbought and oversold markets as well as its potential reversal signals.
This indicator is an oscillator type of technical indicator which plots a line that oscillates within the range of zero to 100. It also has markers at levels 20 and 80 represented by a dashed line. The area below 20 represents the oversold area, while the area above 80 represents the overbought area.
The indicator detects an oversold market whenever its line drops below 20. It then shades the area brown to indicate an oversold market level. Inversely, it also detects overbought markets whenever the line breaches above 80. It then shades the area blue to indicate an overbought market.
Given the characteristics of this indicator, it can be effectively used as a mean reversal signal indicator based on reversals coming from overbought and oversold market levels.
How the Double Stochastic RSI Indicator Works?
The Double Stochastic RSI Indicator uses a complex algorithm which uses an underlying RSI and applies a formula which is somewhat similar to that of the Stochastic Oscillator. The resulting value is then plotted as a point on the oscillator line.
The indicator also detects whether the value of the line is below 20 or above 80. It then shades the area based whenever the line value is below 20 or above 80.
