Under the Hood
How It Works
It produces two lines: %K (fast) and %D (slow, a moving average of %K). Both oscillate between 0 and 100. Default lookback period is 14.
In Practice
How Traders Use It
Readings above 80 suggest overbought; below 20 suggest oversold. Crossovers between %K and %D generate buy/sell signals. Divergences signal potential reversals.
