Rate of Change (10)
The Rate of Change (10) is a momentum oscillators indicator used in Skyrexio Strategy Builder for momentum analysis and overbought/oversold identification.
Introduction
The Rate of Change (10) is a momentum oscillators indicator used in Skyrexio Strategy Builder for momentum analysis and overbought/oversold identification. Measures the percentage change in crypto prices between the current price and the price n periods ago. Positive values indicate upward momentum, negative values indicate downward momentum.
How Rate of Change (10) Works
Rate of Change (ROC) measures the percentage change in price over a specified period. Calculation: ROC = ((Current Price - Price n periods ago) / Price n periods ago) × 100. ROC oscillates around zero, with positive values indicating upward momentum and negative values indicating downward momentum.
In crypto strategy building, ROC is used for:
• Momentum measurement - Quantifies the speed of crypto price changes, essential for volatile cryptocurrency markets • Divergence analysis - ROC diverging from price action signals potential crypto reversals • Overbought/Oversold identification - Extreme ROC values suggest potential crypto corrections • Altcoin comparison - Compare ROC across different cryptocurrencies to identify strongest momentum
ROC is particularly useful for crypto because it normalizes price changes as percentages, making it easy to compare different cryptocurrencies regardless of their price levels. Use conditions like 'ROC > 10' for strong bullish crypto momentum, 'ROC < -10' for strong bearish momentum, or 'ROC crosses above 0' for momentum shift confirmation. ROC is excellent for crypto trend-following strategies and identifying momentum acceleration in cryptocurrency markets.
