In the fast-moving world of financial trading, identifying bullish patterns is essential for capitalizing on upward price momentum. Whether you're analyzing stocks, cryptocurrencies, or forex, combining multiple technical indicators can significantly improve the accuracy of your predictions. This guide explores powerful tools available on TradingView—such as the RVMM Indicator, RCYC Bullish Bearish Indicator, and Bull/Bear Power with Normalization—to help you detect early signs of bullish trends, confirm market strength, and manage risk effectively.
Understanding Key Bullish Indicators
Modern trading strategies rely on confluence—using several indicators together to validate signals. Below are some of the most effective tools for detecting bullish market conditions.
RVMM Indicator: A Multi-Layered Approach to Market Analysis
The RVMM Indicator integrates four core technical tools: RSI (Relative Strength Index), VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), MFI (Money Flow Index), and Momentum. By combining these, it delivers a comprehensive view of potential bullish reversals.
- RSI identifies overbought (>70) and oversold (<30) levels. A reading below 30 may signal an upcoming bullish reversal.
- VWAP helps assess trend direction. Prices trading above VWAP suggest bullish momentum.
- MFI, incorporating volume, confirms whether money is flowing into the asset—values below 20 indicate strong oversold conditions.
- Momentum measures the velocity of price changes; rising momentum supports a developing uptrend.

When all four components align—price above VWAP, RSI and MFI exiting oversold territory, and momentum increasing—it creates a high-probability bullish setup.
RCYC Bullish Bearish Indicator: Visual Clarity Through Color-Coded Signals
For traders who prefer intuitive chart-based analysis, the RCYC Bullish Bearish Indicator offers a streamlined approach by merging KDJ and RSI into one visual system.
- The %J line crossing above 50 triggers a red candle, signaling initial bullish momentum.
- This shifts to dark blue candles as the uptrend stabilizes.
- Alerts are generated automatically when key crossovers occur, reducing the need for constant monitoring.
This indicator excels in trending markets and is particularly useful for swing traders and position traders seeking clear entry and exit points without cluttering their charts.
Detecting Divergences With TrendPivots
One of the strongest predictors of a bullish reversal is bullish divergence—when price makes lower lows but an oscillator like RSI makes higher lows.
The TrendPivots library automates this detection process:
- It scans for pivot points (swing highs and lows).
- Compares them with indicator values (e.g., RSI or MACD).
- Flags confirmed bullish divergences with labels and trendlines.
Using functions like bullishDivergence(pivotArray) and downtrendPivot(), traders can build custom strategies that trigger buy signals when hidden strength emerges during a downtrend.
Measuring Sentiment: The US Sentiment Index
Market psychology plays a critical role in trend formation. The US Sentiment Index analyzes multiple macro-level tickers to gauge overall investor mood:
| Asset | Bullish Signal | Bearish Signal |
|---|---|---|
| S&P 500 (SPX) | Rising prices | Falling prices |
| VIX (Volatility Index) | Declining | Rising |
| U.S. Dollar (DXY) | Weakening | Strengthening |
| Junk Bonds (JNK) | Rising | Falling |
When the index rises above 50 and stays above its moving average, it reflects strong bullish sentiment driven by confidence and risk-taking. Traders can use this as a macro filter—only taking long positions when broader market sentiment aligns.
Bull/Bear Power With Optional Normalization
The Normalized Bull Bear Power (NBBP) indicator enhances traditional bull/bear analysis by adding standardization across assets and timeframes.
Key features:
- Zero-line crossover: Green above zero = bullish; red below = bearish.
- Normalization (-1 to +1): Allows comparison across different instruments.
- EMA smoothing: Helps filter noise and identify sustained trends.
A rising NBBP line above zero, especially when crossing above its EMA, confirms strengthening buying pressure—an ideal environment for entering long positions.

Practical Application: Building a Bullish Trading Strategy
To create a robust strategy, combine signals from multiple tools:
- Start with Macro Context: Use the US Sentiment Index to ensure overall market conditions favor risk-on behavior.
- Identify Divergence: Apply TrendPivots to spot early signs of bullish reversal despite price weakness.
- Confirm with RVMM: Check if RSI and MFI are exiting oversold zones while price trades above VWAP.
- Enter on RCYC Signal: Wait for %J line to cross above 50 and candle to turn red/dark blue.
- Monitor NBBP: Ensure Bull Power remains strong post-entry.
Use tight stop-losses initially, then trail them as the trend develops.
Why Percentage Change Matters: Average Bullish & Bearish %Δ
Raw price moves can be misleading. A $10 move in a $20 stock is massive; in a $2000 stock, it's negligible.
The Average Bullish & Bearish Percentage Change indicator solves this by:
- Calculating average % gains during bullish candles.
- Separately averaging % losses during bearish candles.
- Offering two modes: Net Move (body only) and Full Capacity (includes wicks).
This data helps set realistic profit targets and assess volatility objectively. For example, if average bullish moves are +3%, aiming for +6% without strong catalysts may be unrealistic.
Risk Management in Bullish Setups
Even strong bullish signals carry risk. Always:
- Set stop-loss orders below recent swing lows.
- Avoid over-leveraging, especially during high volatility.
- Reassess positions if sentiment indicators (like VIX or US Sentiment Index) turn negative.
Remember: major trend reversals often happen before a new regime is officially confirmed.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the most reliable bullish indicator?
A: No single indicator is foolproof. The most reliable signals come from confluence—e.g., RSI showing oversold conditions while price is above VWAP and MFI confirms accumulation.
Q: How do I confirm a bullish divergence?
A: Use the TrendPivots library to automate detection. Manually, look for price making lower lows while RSI or MACD forms higher lows.
Q: Can candlestick patterns alone predict bullish trends?
A: Candlesticks offer psychological insight but should not be used in isolation. Combine them with momentum indicators for better accuracy.
Q: What does normalization do in the NBBP indicator?
A: It scales Bull/Bear Power values between -1 and +1, allowing direct comparison across different assets and timeframes.
Q: Is the RCYC indicator suitable for day trading?
A: Yes, especially on 15-minute to hourly charts. Its color-coded alerts make it ideal for quick decision-making in fast markets.
Q: How often should I check sentiment indicators?
A: Daily for swing traders; intraday for scalpers. Major shifts in VIX or bond yields can precede equity market moves by hours.
