Choppiness Indicator

E.W. Dreiss, an Australian commodity trader, developed the Choppiness Index in 1993, drawing upon chaos theory to analyze financial markets. This technical indicator helps traders determine whether a market is trending or experiencing sideways (choppy) price action.
#Hint: The Market is considered TRENDING when the index is below 38.2 \n The Market is considered CHOPPY when the index is above 61.8. \n A move above the 38.2 Level indicates a possible end to a trend, and a move below 61.8 indicates a possible breakout from a period of consolidation.
