Description
The Demand Index indicator, developed by James Sibbet, combines price and volume and is often considered a leading indicator of price changes.
It has one configurable parameter: Period - calculation periods.
James Sibbet defined six "rules" for the Demand Index:
- Divergence between the Demand Index and the price indicates an upcoming price reversal.
- The price often reaches new highs after an extreme peak in the Demand Index, as the index acts as a leading indicator.
- A high price accompanied by a lower peak in the Demand Index usually coincides with an important peak, serving as a confirmation indicator.
- The Demand Index breaking the zero level indicates a trend change, although with a delay, making it a confirmation indicator.
- If the Demand Index consistently fluctuates around zero, it suggests that the current price trend has weak potential and is unlikely to last long.
- A significant long-term divergence between prices and the Demand Index indicates an important market top or bottom.
