Overbought/Oversold

The bigger wave is now moving down, so it is better to try short positions when the Detrended Oscillator goes above the zero level (20-25 pips above the current prices) or into the overbought area (50-65 pips above the current prices). Watch for opportunities to go short at or near the indicated resistances.
