What is Force Index?
Force Index is a momentum or oscillator concept used to transform recent price behavior into a measure of speed, direction, persistence or relative position within a recent range.
Force Index matters because it gives analysts a consistent way to discuss momentum and oscillator analysis. Oscillators translate recent price behavior into bounded or comparative measures that can help identify acceleration, deceleration or stretched conditions.
How to read Force Index
Read Force Index together with trend, timeframe, volatility and market context. Its main role is momentum and oscillator analysis, not replacing the underlying price series.
What Force Index does not tell you
The term should be read as descriptive chart language rather than as a self-contained forecast. Parameter choices, timeframe and data quality can materially change the result.
Use in bonds, rates and macro markets
They should be interpreted with the underlying instrument, liquidity and macro regime in mind rather than used as isolated bond-market forecasts.
Technical chart structures are context, not certainty. BondStats does not present a candlestick, drawing tool, indicator reading or chart pattern as a standalone investment recommendation. Where a concept depends on discretionary anchors or parameter choices, those choices should be made explicit.
