Indicators are a great tool to use when analyzing the overall market conditions, especially when dealing with specific cryptocurrencies.
Through the innovations of the crypto market, nowadays there are a lot of indicators that can be used, especially for Bitcoin and Ethereum as the two biggest cryptocurrencies in the market.
But, some still argue that indicators are useless, which is why in this article we will be talking about a specific indicator as an example, which is The Ethereum Rainbow Chart to see what it is exactly and is it useful for traders and inventors of ETH.
What is The Ethereum Rainbow Chart?
The Ethereum Rainbow Chart is an indicator that was created with the tool of mathematics and statistics to give investors and traders data of how the current ETH price and trading volume is relative to the market’s sentiment.
The indicator is drawn in a rainbow as each individual color has different signs that tell how the market is currently treating ETH at its current price.
Before this, the first Rainbow Chart in the crypto market was pioneered by Bitcoin, as the rainbow indicator started becoming popular after traders were using the Bitcoin Rainbow Chart to trade BTC.
The indicator is used to look at the current sentiment of the Bitcoin market and many traders use it to determine if it is a good time to buy or sell Bitcoin.
After the success of the Bitcoin Rainbow Chat, the market demanded an Ethereum Rainbow Chat, which is why now we have an Ethereum Rainbow Chart as well as other Rainbow Charts in the crypto market.
Is it Actually Useful?
Basically what the rainbow is telling investors and traders are nine different colors that represent conditions ranging from ETH currently being undervalued and overvalued.
The nine conditions are:
- Maximum Bubble Territory
- But have we *earned*it?
- Is this the Flippening?
- HODL!
- Steady…
- Still Cheap
- Accumulate
- Undervalued
- Fire Sale
Those nine indicators can be treated as the overall market sentiment towards ETH which is why it can be quite useful from time to time, especially when there is a lot of FOMO involved.
The market condition starts at a “Fire Sale” where basically the indicator is telling that ETH is currently cheap and it is too undervalued.
Undervalued ranges from the term Fire Sale, Undervalued, Accumulate, and Still Cheap to give different measurements of how cheap ETH currently is and how it encourages investors and traders to buy.
The term Steady… and HODL refers to the condition where it is encouraged for holders to keep their ETH and not sell, which usually happens in the condition where the market is neutral.
Lastly, the term Maximum Bubble Territory, But have we *earned*it?, and Is this the Flippening? Refers to the condition where ETH is currently overvalued giving holders signs that they should start considering taking profit.
The indicator acts similar to an RSI or Relative Strength Index Indicator on Tradingview where it usually shows signs of when a token or coin is at an overbought condition or an oversold condition.
The difference between the two is the calculation and averaging method, as both use data from previous price movements but use different models in their calculations.
However, considering their functions are the same, both can be used as a supporting tool that is combined with other analysis, so it is not wise to only use this indicator as conviction when trading ETH.
Conclusion
Overall the tool can be useful, but just like any other indicator or tool in the financial market, it might not always be correct 100% of the time.
If you want to use this tool, make sure you combine it with other tools and indicators, so your analysis becomes more concrete, hence making it more accurate.
