CRUDE OIL BUY/SELL (3 Min)
Technical Overview
The CRUDE OIL BUY/SELL indicator is designed for short-term traders focusing on crude oil price movements.
It identifies high-probability buying and selling opportunities based on a combination of RSI levels, SMA trend positioning, and candle structure analysis.
This tool is particularly effective on the 3-minute timeframe, providing clear visual signals and alerts for both momentum continuation and potential reversals.
How It Works
The indicator integrates three key components:
RSI Analysis: Detects overbought and oversold zones to measure market momentum.
SMA Filter: Confirms whether price is trading above or below its short-term average trend.
Candle Strength Logic: Evaluates the relationship between candle body and range to validate the momentum behind a move.
A Buy (B) label appears when upward conditions align, while a Sell (S) label appears when downward pressure is confirmed.
Additional reversal markers highlight potential turning points when RSI and price patterns indicate exhaustion.
