Bear Bull Power Indicator Explained

The Bear Bull Power Indicator was developed by Dr. Alexander Elder and is a versatile indicator
used to measure the strength of the bulls and bears in the market. The stronger one is over the
other, the more quantified prices are. For example, in strong trending markets, bull powers are
normally positive and bear powers are negative. But when there is a switch, meaning that bull
powers turning negative and the bear powers turning positive, it indicates a strong move to the
downside in the markets. Besides the switch, the Bulls and Bears power indicator can also show
extremes. In such instances for example, when the Bears power turns strongly negative, it also
indicates a decline in prices while at the same time Bulls power indicator can remain in positive
territory.

On the standard MT4 trading platform, the Bulls and Bears power indicator are available as two
separate indicators. The first chart below shows the bulls and bears power indicator attached to
the chart in two sub windows.

Price rally when Bulls power is positive and Bears power is negative
The next chart below illustrates the scenario where the Bears power indicator turns extremely
negative and depicts a strong decline in prices as a result. Not to be confused with strong Bears
power in negative sentiment resulting in a strong rally.

Bearspower extremely negative, resulting in price declines


While it might seem confusing to use two different indicators, traders can download a combined
and we have it prepared for you at the bottom of this page. When applied to the chart, this
compact indicator plots the bulls and bears power as a histogram oscillator as shown in the next
chart below.

Bulls Bears Power indicator combined


As you can compare from the above three charts, the Bulls/Bears power indicator which is
combined offers a lot more than using the indicators individually. In the above chart, notice that
as the bulls power starts to rise, prices tend to rally strongly and when the bears take over, prices
post strong declines in the market. The Bulls/Bears power indicator can therefore be used as a
way to expect potential short term strengths in the markets (and not to be mistaken when
trends).

How to trade the Bulls Bears Power Indicator


The Bulls Bears power indicator can be used as an oscillator where buy/sell signals are triggered
when the indicator crosses above and below the 0-line. The following chart illustrates the buy/sell
signals generated by the Bulls Bears power moving above and below the 0-line.

Besides using the 0-line, the Bulls Bears power indicator can be used to spot divergences as well.
Because the indicator measures the strength of the bears and bulls, when a new low or a high
fails to be confirmed by the Bulls Bears indicator, the short term divergence can offer trading
opportunities. The next chart below outlines a few divergence based trade set ups.
