The SFX CCI forex indicator fluctuates above and below its zero level.
It’s a good trading indicator to predict the short-term currency trend.
The short-term trend is considered to be bullish when the bars of the SFX CCI indicator are aligned above the zero line (green color).
Conversely, the short-term trend is considered to be bearish when the bars of the SFX CCI indicator are aligned below the zero line (red color).
