Overview
CCI Overbought Oversold is a momentum-based reversal strategy built around the Commodity Channel Index.
It is designed to identify potential turning points when price momentum becomes stretched relative to its recent average. This makes it suitable for traders who prefer a reversal model based on momentum extremes rather than trend continuation.
Signal Logic
The strategy tracks CCI to identify when momentum has reached an extreme and begins to lose strength.
A potential sell setup appears when CCI pushes into overbought territory and then starts turning back down.
A potential buy setup appears when CCI drops into oversold territory and then starts turning back up.
This creates a reversal model based on stretched price conditions relative to the recent average, instead of treating every strong move as a continuation signal. In practice, extreme readings are often interpreted together with the direction of the turn, and can also be supported by divergence or other confirmation tools.
