Money Flow: 

Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is a financial metric used in technical analysis that measures the net accumulation (in green) or distribution (in red) of assets.  CMF's scale ranges from +100 to -100, with a score of 100 indicating consistent daily high closes for 21 days, signaling strong buying interest. Values near +25 or -25 highlight robust accumulation or distribution trends, respectively. Chaikin Money Flow is a metric serving as a proxy for gauging institutional investor interest, providing insight into the sentiment and perception of a stock among institutional investors 
 

Overbought/Oversold:

This indicator offers a clear, refined depiction of a stock's position within its typical trading range. The term "overbought" refers to a situation where a stock's price has experienced an excessive increase beyond what is supported by its technical analysis context, whereas "oversold" indicates the opposite scenario. The Chaikin OB/OS rating offers a refined and standardized assessment of where a stock stands within its typical trading range. This rating employs a scale ranging from 1 to 100, designating values of 70 or above as "overbought" and values of 30 or below as "oversold." When the OB/OS indicator falls below 30 and subsequently reverses course upwards, it can serve as a favorable entry point, particularly when corroborated by the Power Gauge. An Overbought condition is typically associated with a reading of 70. 

Relative Strength:

This indicator gives a reliable signal of how a stock is doing compared to the S&P 500 index. When it turns green, it means the stock is performing exceptionally well compared to the overall market. Furthermore, when you examine Relative Strength on the SPY chart, it offers a comparison between SPY and IWV, which represents the Russell 3000 index, covering a wide range of large, mid, and small-cap stocks. Periods of strong or weak relative activity can signal a change in how the market views a stock, even before it affects the Power Gauge rating.
