Ratio Indicator

Definition

A ratio indicator is a technical analysis tool that compares two different financial metrics or data points to generate insights into market conditions or asset valuation. These indicators often involve dividing one value by another, such as price-to-earnings ratios or market value to realized value. They help traders and analysts identify overbought or oversold conditions, assess relative strength, or confirm trends. Ratio indicators provide a quantitative perspective beyond absolute price movements.
