| Scott Cong, PhD, first presented the VAcc (Velocity and Acceleration) indicator in the Stocks & Commodities magazine in September 2023. The idea was to analyze markets using simple physical concepts such as velocity and acceleration. The indicator includes a Velocity line plotted as a red line on the chart and Acceleration values plotted as a histogram. The velocity line shows how fast the trading instrument grows, and its values above zero indicate a strong bullish trend. The rising velocity line shows that the trading instrument is growing at an ever-increasing speed. At the same time, positive acceleration values mean an increase in the velocity's growth rate. The same approach, applied in reverse, will help determine how fast the price of an asset is moving down and whether this move is speeding up or slowing down. Since the VAcc indicator is an oscillator, traders can use the technical analysis approaches for oscillators. For example, the velocity line crossing above the zero mark can signal the emergence of a bullish trend. Conversely, a downward crossover of the zero mark gives a sell signal. Bullish divergence between the price and the velocity line or price and the acceleration values suggests a buying opportunity. At the same time, the continuing rise of the velocity line indicates a strong bullish trend and growing buying interest. It is worth noting that the VAcc indicator is similar to MACD but gives more responsive and accurate signals. |
