What This Chart Shows
The Stochastic Oscillator asks a simple question: where does the latest close sit inside its recent trading range? If price closes near the top of the last 14 periods’ range the oscillator reads high; near the bottom it reads low. It is bounded 0–100. This chart computes it on weekly candles, so it reads the higher-timeframe momentum rather than the noisy daily version.
- Price sits in the top panel on a log scale.
- Fast %K (cyan) is the raw stochastic over a 14-week window; Slow %D (purple) is its 3-week average. The two run in the lower panel between 0 and 100.
- Overbought / oversold — dashed guides at 80 and 20. High readings mean price is pressing the top of its range; low readings, the bottom.
- Cross-overs — the highest-conviction signals are marked on the price line: a bullish %K-over-%D cross while still oversold (green), and a bearish %K-under-%D cross while still overbought (red).
How to Read It
Watch two things: the zone and the cross. Above 80 the weekly close is pinned near the top of its range (overbought); below 20 it is near the bottom (oversold). The signal comes when the fast %K crosses the slow %D — up for bullish momentum, down for bearish. Like all oscillators it can stay overbought through a strong Bitcoin uptrend, so the cleanest setups are a bullish cross out of oversold and a bearish cross out of overbought, which is why only those are dotted on price. Best read alongside trend and on-chain context, not as a standalone trigger.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Bitcoin weekly Stochastic Oscillator?
It is the Stochastic Oscillator (14, 3) calculated on weekly candles. %K is where the weekly close sits in the last 14 weeks’ high-low range, scaled 0–100; %D is the 3-week average of %K. Above 80 is overbought, below 20 is oversold.
What are the %K / %D cross-overs?
%K crossing above %D is a bullish momentum turn; %K crossing below %D is bearish. The strongest are a bullish cross while still below 20 and a bearish cross while still above 80 — those are dotted on the price line.
Why weekly instead of daily stochastic?
Daily stochastic whipsaws constantly between overbought and oversold. Weekly smooths that out and aligns much better with Bitcoin’s multi-week swings and cycle turns.
