Aroon Indicator
The graph below shows the Aroon Indicator using the price of Dogecoin over the last 40 days.
The Aroon indicators move above and below the centerline (50) and are bound between 0 and 100.

This indicates a greater propensity for new x-day highs than lows. The opposite is true for a downtrend. The bears have an edge when Aroon-Up is below 50 and Aroon-Down is above 50.
