Technical indicators such as MA (Moving Average), MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence), and RSI (Relative Strength Index) are common tools for assessing market context and potential timing—not directional forecasts.
Moving Average (MA) is a technical analysis tool that smooths price fluctuations by averaging prices over a selected period, helping identify market trends. Common types include Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Trend signals: When a short-term MA (e.g. 10-day MA) crosses above a long-term MA (e.g. 50-day MA), it is often viewed as a buy signal ("golden cross"). When a short-term MA crosses below a long-term MA, it is often viewed as a sell signal ("death cross").
Support and resistance: MAs can act as dynamic support and resistance. In uptrends, price often finds support near the MA; in downtrends, price often meets resistance near the MA.
Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) consists of the difference between two EMAs (fast and slow lines), a signal line (9-day EMA of the MACD line), and often a histogram showing the gap between the MACD and signal lines.
Reversal signals: When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it is often treated as a buy signal. When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, it is often treated as a sell signal.
Divergence: When MACD and price move in opposite directions (e.g. price makes a new high but MACD does not follow), it may suggest a trend reversal.
Relative Strength Index (RSI) is an oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of price changes on a scale from 0 to 100.
Overbought and oversold: RSI above 70 is often considered overbought and may suggest a pullback; RSI below 30 is often considered oversold and may suggest a rebound.
Trend strength: RSI consistently above 50 often indicates an uptrend; consistently below 50 often indicates a downtrend.
