The Keltner Channel indicator is used to identify overbought / oversold conditions as well as the trend strength of a market. When an asset’s price is closer to the upper band than the lower band, the market is considered overbought. Conversely, when an asset’s price is closer to the bottom band than the upper band, the market is considered oversold. An advantage of Keltner Channel analysis compared to other indicators used to analyze trend strength is that market lag is not as pronounced because Keltner Channels are extremely sensitive to fluctuations in volatility.
