Detrended Price Oscillator

The Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) is a technical indicator that removes the overall trend from prices to identify shorter-term cycles and overbought/oversold conditions. Unlike other oscillators, it is shifted backward in time and focuses on highlighting price cycles rather than confirming trend direction.

Example

The Detrended Price Oscillator revealed a consistent 20-day cycle in the stock's price, helping the trader time entries at cycle lows.
