Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO)
A technical analysis tool designed to generate information regarding an asset price, regardless of the existing price trend. The logic behind this indicator is to understand the buying and selling pressures of the market, based on short-term asset price fluctuations, regardless of the long-term bullish or bearish price behavior.
In order to calculate the DPO, you must first establish a period of time to be analyzed. Firstly, you must take the necessary days to create a trend. For example, if a trend is confirmed in 20 days, then 20 is the period that marks a trend. The period is divided by 2 and added to 1, resulting in the N number. The mobile average of the asset price is then calculated for a period of N days, and the closing period is subtracted from it. The resulting number is the DPO for the period. This method assures that short-term tendencies will be included and long-term ones will be excluded from the analysis.
A fundamental suptrade of the DPO theory is that long-term tendencies are made of short-term tendencies, so by observing short-term tendencies we can understand long-term tendencies better.
