    Mass_Index tries to spot “reversal bulges” as described by its creator.

    When the Mass_Index moves above the 27 level, a bulge kicks in. The signal is not complete on the initial bulge.

    The creator of this indicator waits for the bulge to reverse with a move below the 26.50 level.

    Upon completing the reversal bulge, chartist are expected to deploy other technical studies to ascertain the direction of the next price move.

    The Mass_Index surges as the high-low range widens and dips as the high-low range narrows.

    Preferably, a downtrend that is trailed by a reversal bulge would indicate a bullish trend reversal.

    On the contrary, an uptrend that is trailed by a reversal bulge is indicative of a bearish trend reversal.

    To be able to yield more signals, chartist should deploy other analysis procedures to compliment the Mass_Index indicator.

    Volatility can always be measured using standard deviation or other technical indicators like standard deviation, while the reversal bulge function of the Mass_Index can offer a matchless outlook regarding the condition of the market.
