The ZigZag indicator filters out minor price fluctuations by only plotting lines when price moves by a specified percentage, making macro swing highs and lows visually clear. It is an invaluable tool for wave analysis, Fibonacci retracement placement, and identifying structural patterns in stocks and crypto. Use ZigZag on TradingView as a structural overlay alongside your trending trading strategies.
ZigZag draws a line from swing high to swing low only when the price change exceeds a user-defined threshold (typically 5%). The indicator repaints — it will adjust the most recent segment as new price data arrives. It does not predict future moves; it clarifies past structure.
