PERCENT OF RESISTANCE
Overview
Percent of Resistance (PCR) is an oscillator that compares a security's closing
price to its price range over a given time period. It is similar

Interpretation
Percent of Resistance may be interpreted in the following ways:

-
Look for divergences.
For example, prices are showing a series of new highs but PCR is failing to surpass
its previous highs.
