A Different Way To Use the RSI To Trade Deceleration Patterns A deceleration pattern is a pattern that forms at the end of a directional move as it starts to lose steam. 2 good ones to learn are the rising/falling wedge & channel.
The problem wit these patterns however, is that it can sometimes be difficult to tell when that final reversal may come backing it hard to place stops.
Lately, and by that I mean for the past year or so, I've been tracking a very specific pattern on the RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator to help me with these situations.

The main thing is to understand what is the AC indicator and which signals it generate, which signals we shall use in crypto trading like top crypto traders. Let's go!
What is Acceleration / Deceleration?
The Acceleration/Deceleration Oscillator (AC) is a technical analysis indicator developed by Bill Williams, a notable trader and author known for his work in market psychology and trading systems. This indicator helps traders identify changes in market momentum and potential trend reversals.
How the Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) Indicator Works? The AC indicator is based on the idea that the momentum of the market (speed of price movement) often changes before the price itself changes. By identifying these shifts in momentum early, traders can anticipate potential trend changes.
The AC is derived from the Awesome Oscillator (AO), another indicator created by Bill Williams, which is the difference between a 34-period and a 5-period simple moving average of the median price (the average of high and low prices).
The AC is calculated by subtracting a 5-period simple moving average of the AO from the AO itself. Mathematically, it can be represented as:
AC = AO − SMA5(AO)
Where AO is Awesome Oscillator (calculated as the difference between the 34-period SMA and the 5-period SMA of the median price). SMA5(AO) is 5-period simple moving average of the AO. Now let's consider which types of signals AC can generate.
GBPCAD Long Double Bottom & Weekly DecelerationHi guys,
hope you had a nice weekend. At the start of the trading week GBPCAD presents itself with a long opportunity. Price has found a bottom at the weekly Fibonacci level and has closed as a lowtest on friday.
We have bearish MACD Divergence and a potential H&S Pattern, however with 5 confluence factors and prime deceleration I will take a position.
The stop is protected below recent price action, the target is below the next resistance zone in anticipation of a potential weekly lower high.
Happy trading
CAD/CHF Long reversal Hello traders, price decelerated nicely into the 0.7270 support level, meeting also the bottom trendline of the current bear channel. 50 EMA very far from current price so I see only 0.7350 level as possible resistance.
Keeping in mind tomorrow's NFP, I will be ready to catch an upward acceleration.
As always wish you good luck!
