Indicators such as the TICK can reveal the internal strength (or weakness) of the market and highlight intraday turning points.H e r e ’s how one trader combines the TICK with support and resistance tahlil and retracement levels.
The TICK is a market breadth indicator that measures the d i ff e rence between the number of New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) stocks trading on an uptick (i.e., last price higher than the previous price) and the number of stocks trading on a downtick (last price lower than the previous price). For example, if at a given moment 5,200 NYSE stocks were trading up from their previous prices and 4,800 were trading down from their previous prices, the TICK reading would be +400 (5,200- 4,800). The TICK indicator should not be confused with the term “tick,“ which is used to describe a minimum price fluctuation.
