The best way to understand and appreciate the "Buy or Sell Ribbon" indicator is to see it in action in different market situations. Let's break down its behavior in various key scenarios, ranging from clear trends to more volatile markets.
Below we present a series of graphs and scenarios to illustrate how this indicator works in different contexts:
Description: In a market with an uptrend, we will see that most of the moving averages are pointing upwards, and the colors of the ribbon become brighter shades of green.
Description: In contrast to the uptrend scenario, in a downtrending market, the moving averages will point downwards. Here, the ribbon will show red tones, with darker red indicating a stronger downtrend.
Description: In a sideways market, moving averages tend to overlap and move within a narrow range. The ribbon in this situation could display neutral colors, such as grays or a mix of soft reds and greens.
Description: This is where the "Buy or Sell Ribbon" can be especially useful. In a trend reversal, shorter moving averages will begin to cross over longer ones. For example, in an uptrend reversal, a shorter moving average will cross above a longer one, and the ribbon will start to change from red to green.
