Overbought/Oversold

Assuming that medium term trend is up, it's preferable to use oversold readings of the Detrended Oscillator or its cross below the zero level to consider long positions. The oscillator is now at the zero and the oversold area is 25-35 pips away (0.9940-30) which roughly corresponds to .382 retracement - 0.9936.
