The Detrended Price Oscillator attempts to filter out trend in order to focus on the underlying cycles of price movement. To accomplish this, the moving average (generally 14-period) becomes a straight line and price variation above and below the moving average becomes the Price Oscillator. The Detrended Price Oscillator technical indicator can show overbought or oversold levels and can also create buy and sell signals.

Interpreting the Detrended Price Oscillator
When the Detrended Price Oscillator is above the zero line, it means that

average, a bearish sign. There are two interpretations of buy and sell

XXDPO:
Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) is a technical indicator that shows the market overbought/oversold states and also can be used for getting buy/sell signals.
It sorts out trends to concentrate on basic price movement cycles. To achieve this, the moving average transforms into the line and price changes below and above it become a trend oscillator.
This indicator is used to highlight short-term cycles, as the analysis of short-term components of the long-term cycles can be useful in determining main reversal points of the latter. DPO does not consider long-term prices cycles making short-term cycles more noticeable.
