MomentumRSIThe Relative Strength Index (RSI) compares the size of recent closing gains with recent closing losses on a scale from 0 to 100. Readings near 100 mean almost every recent move was up; readings near 0 mean almost every recent move was down. It describes momentum, not value.How traders read it
MomentumMACDMACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) measures the gap between a fast and a slow exponential moving average of the close. The MACD line shows that gap, the signal line is a smoothed version of it, and the histogram shows the difference between the two. It describes trend direction and how quickly momentum is changing.How traders read it
TrendIchimokuIchimoku Kinko Hyo is a set of five lines that describe trend, momentum and possible support and resistance in one view. The area between Senkou A and Senkou B is shaded as the cloud. Most lines are midpoints of the highest high and lowest low over a lookback, so they react to the range rather than to a single price.How traders read it
VolatilityBollinger Bands (BB)Bollinger Bands place a band above and below a moving average at a distance set by the recent standard deviation of price. The bands widen when price swings grow and narrow when they shrink. They describe volatility and where price sits within its recent range.How traders read it
VolumeVWAPVWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) is the average traded price since an anchor, where each candle counts in proportion to its volume. It shows the price around which most volume since the anchor changed hands, and its bands show how far price has spread around that average.How traders read it
TrendDirectional Movement Index (DMI/ADX)The Directional Movement Index (DMI) shows the direction and the strength of a trend with three lines. +DI measures upward movement, -DI measures downward movement, and ADX measures how strong the trend is regardless of its direction.How traders read it
Moving averagesSimple Moving AverageThe Simple Moving Average (SMA) is the plain average of the last N prices. Every price in the window has the same weight, so the line smooths out short-term noise and shows the underlying direction.How traders read it
Moving averagesExponential Moving AverageThe Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a moving average that gives more weight to recent prices. It follows price more closely than a simple average of the same length while still smoothing noise.How traders read it
VolatilityAverage True RangeAverage True Range (ATR) measures how much price typically moves per candle, including gaps between candles. It describes volatility only: a high ATR means large candles, whether price rises or falls.How traders read it
MomentumStochastic OscillatorThe Stochastic Oscillator shows where the latest close sits within the high-low range of recent candles, on a scale from 0 to 100. A reading of 80 means the close was near the top of that range; 20 means near the bottom.How traders read it
MomentumCommodity Channel IndexThe Commodity Channel Index (CCI) measures how far the typical price is from its moving average, scaled by the average distance from that average. Values near zero mean price is close to its recent average; large positive or negative values mean it has moved unusually far.How traders read it
VolumeOn-Balance VolumeOn-Balance Volume (OBV) is a running total of volume that adds a candle's volume when the close rises and subtracts it when the close falls. It shows whether volume has been flowing more on up candles or on down candles.How traders read it
