The Psychological Line (often abbreviated as PsyLine) is a momentum oscillator that reflects the market participants’ sentiment. It measures the percentage of bullish versus bearish sentiment over a specific period and is often used to identify potential reversals or continuation patterns in the market. The indicator oscillates between 0 and 100, providing insights into market psychology.
