What is Williams %R?
When it comes to trading SOL, one popular tool used by traders is the Williams %R indicator.
This technical analysis tool, developed by Larry Williams, measures the momentum of a security by comparing the current price to the highest high and lowest low over a certain period.
Williams %R is a momentum oscillator that ranges from 0 to -100, with readings above -20 indicating overbought conditions and readings below -80 indicating oversold conditions.
The basic strategy for trading with Williams %R is to buy when the indicator is oversold and sell when it is overbought. This means that when the indicator drops below -80, it suggests that the security is oversold and due for a rebound. Conversely, when the indicator rises above -20, it indicates that the security is overbought and due for a correction.
