Stochastic Indicator Overbought & Over-sold Levels

Stochastic oscillator trading is used to find signals that indicate over-bought or over-sold conditions. Overbought levels are above 80%, and oversold levels are below 20%.

When utilizing the Stochastic Oscillator, focus not only on its %K or %D lines reaching overbought/oversold areas but also on how they cross back through these key technical levels to provide clearer signals.

Like RSI, the Stochastic oscillator can linger in overbought or oversold zones. If it stays overbought long, gold trends up strong. Oversold means a firm down move.

When stochastic lines cross back below or above these overbought & oversold levels it is generally a good indication of an upcoming trend reversal.

Additional trading signals can enhance the reliability of oversold or overbought levels if:

Buy XAUUSD Signal Using Stochastics Oscillator Technical Oversold Levels

  • Before Buying, the %K & %D lines turn upward from below 5 %.
  • A reading that is floating near 5% means that gold trading bears are in control and there is selling of gold. A trader should wait for the Stochastics Oscillator Technical Indicator to move back above 5% as a sign that the selling pressure is easing.

A buy signal becomes validated when the stochastic oscillator crosses above the oversold level, dips back briefly but swiftly rises again without lingering at oversold.

Sell XAUUSD Signal Using Stochastic Technical Overbought Levels

  • Before Selling, the %K & %D lines turn down from above 95 %.
  • A reading that is floating above 95% means that gold trading bulls are in control and there is buying of gold. A trader should wait for the Stochastic oscillator to move below 95% as a sign that the buying pressure is easing.
  • The sell signal is confirmed when the stochastic oscillator crosses below over-bought, then after a while returns to overbought but this times moves downwards immediately without staying at the overbought.

Generating a Sell Trading Signal by Observing Overbought Thresholds on the Stochastics Oscillator Technical Indicator.

If you check different chart periods when you are using oversold and overbought levels, that might help you find the best way to start when you open a trade.

The main theory is to trade with the xauusd market trend. Always double check the trading signals with the longer term stochastic indicators to confirm gold signals on the shorter xauusd chart timeframe periods.
