The Problem This Guide Helps You Solve
Market Extremes highlights stretched price conditions and helps you assess whether momentum is fading or a trend is persisting. It addresses a common problem: confusing a move that looks extended with evidence that the move has actually ended.
How to use this in your workflow
Work through these checks in order. The examples explain a process; they are not instructions to place a trade.
Read the stretch in context
Compare the displayed exhaustion information with market structure and nearby levels. An extreme reading describes a condition, not a scheduled turning point. Price can remain stretched while a strong trend continues.
Look for a change in behavior
Ask whether price is rejecting a planned area, failing to extend, or continuing to hold beyond it. Use the tool's context alongside observable price action rather than selling simply because a reading is high or buying because it is low.
Review rejected ideas too
Keep examples where the market stayed extended as well as examples where it reversed. That review helps separate a useful context observation from an overly simple rule that treats every extreme as an entry.
Examples and limits
A hypothetical chart-reading example
Suppose price is extended near a previously identified level. If it continues to hold above that level, fading the move needs more justification than the extension alone. A failed push and return through the level would be a different sequence to evaluate against your rules.
What this tool cannot tell you
Exhaustion information cannot identify the exact high or low in advance. A strong trend can persist, and apparent divergence does not guarantee that a reversal will occur before your stop is reached.
Common Execution Mistakes To Avoid
