The Aroon indicator explained

The Aroon indicator was developed by Tushar Chande in 1995. Unlike most indicators that focus on price magnitude, Aroon focuses on time — specifically, how long ago a security reached its recent high or low relative to a given period.

It consists of two lines, both scaled 0–100: Aroon Up measures how recently the highest high occurred. Aroon Down measures how recently the lowest low occurred. When Aroon Up is high and Aroon Down is low, an uptrend is developing and strengthening. When Aroon Down is high and Aroon Up is low, a downtrend is forming.

↑

Aroon Up

Measures how recently the highest price occurred. High Aroon Up (above 70) means the asset made a new high recently — the uptrend is strong.

Above 70 → Strong uptrend

↓

Aroon Down

Measures how recently the lowest price occurred. High Aroon Down (above 70) means the asset made a new low recently — the downtrend is strong.
