The bars
The reading
The slow stochastic %K is 67.3 with %D at 67.9: between 20 and 80, inside the usual band.
- The range
- The last 14 bars ran from 2,260.90 to 2,363.50; the last close of 2,319.40 sits 57% of the way up.
- The cross
- %K last crossed below %D on the last bar.
- Read it with care
- In a strong trend the stochastic can stay above 80 or below 20 for a long time. It describes where the close sits, not where it goes next.

Where the close sits
The stochastic oscillator, set out by George Lane in the 1950s, asks one question: where did the close land inside the high-low range of the last 14 bars? 100 is the top of the range, 0 the bottom. The slow version smooths that reading over 3 bars as %K, and %D is a 3-bar average of %K.
Above 80 is called overbought and below 20 oversold, but in a trend the close keeps landing near one end of the range, so those readings can last. Test any rule on your own market and count the costs first. Compare with the RSI calculator, the MACD calculator and the size of the bars with the ATR calculator.
