The “Aroon Indicator” is a popular member of the “Oscillator” family of technical indicators. Tushar Chanda developed the Aroon Indicator in 1995 to help traders determine the strength of a trend and whether pricing behavior was favoring a trend or sideways action. Traders use the “Up and Down” indicator lines to judge the strength of a trend, as absolute values signify strength, but simultaneous changes reflect a market that has yet to make up its mind. The Aroon Up trend when it reaches above 70 indicates that the uptrend is gaining momentum. Conversely when the Aroon Down indicator climbs above 70, bearish momentum is building.
