- When the PCO line moves beyond the daily overbought/oversold level and the price approaches the extreme monthly ranges, it may be a good time to consider a trade.
- If the PCO line is above the overbought level and the price is near the upper monthly range, consider a sell signal.
- Conversely, if the PCO line is below the oversold level and the price is near the lower monthly range, consider a buy signal.
