The Hull Indicator is designed to provide a clear and quick view of market behavior. To properly interpret the signals or results it provides, it is essential to understand its components and how they interact with price.
Below, we detail how to interpret each aspect:
When the Hull line changes direction and starts to rise, it indicates a possible beginning of an uptrend. Conversely, if the line starts to decline, it suggests the start of a downtrend.
These changes should not be interpreted as trading signals by themselves but rather as indications of the possible start or end of a trend.
Upward Cross: When the price crosses the HMA from below to above, this is often interpreted as a bullish signal, which could indicate a buying opportunity.
Downward Cross: If the price crosses the HMA from above to below, this is usually a bearish signal and could indicate a selling opportunity.
It is vital to consider the overall market context and other technical indicators to confirm these signals.
Green: Indicates an uptrend. When the Hull turns green, it suggests that the current trend is strongly bullish and that the market could continue moving in that direction.
Red: Indicates a downtrend. A red Hull suggests that the current trend is bearish, and the market may continue to decline.
The color change provides a quick visual identification of the market direction, aiding traders in making informed real-time decisions.
Sometimes, price and HMA can move in opposite directions, creating a divergence. If the price makes new highs while the HMA does not, it may be a sign that the bullish trend is weakening. Similarly, if the price establishes new lows and the HMA does not, it can indicate that the bearish trend is losing strength. Divergences can be early signals of a trend change.
Occasionally, the Hull line can act as a dynamic level of support or resistance. If the price approaches the HMA and bounces, this may indicate that the Hull line is acting as support (in an uptrend) or resistance (in a downtrend).
A wider gap between the bands can indicate a volatile market or a strong trend movement. On the other hand, a narrow gap or converging bands can indicate a ranging market or possible consolidation.
Like with Bollinger Bands, if the price touches or surpasses one of the bands, it could indicate an overextension of the market and a possible retracement.
When interpreting Hull indicator signals, it is always essential to use other tools and techniques of technical analysis to confirm the signals. Additionally, risk management and discipline are crucial to ensuring successful trading.
