Chart Indicators Reference

Indicator	Description	How to Interpret
Bands	Bollinger Bands are volatility bands placed above and below a moving average. They widen when volatility increases and narrow when volatility decreases.	In traditional finance, price touching the upper band may suggest overbought conditions while the lower band may suggest oversold conditions. Bands squeezing together often precede increased volatility or a breakout.
EMA-30	An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to new information than a simple moving average.	Price above EMA-30 suggests short-term upward momentum; below suggests downward momentum. Can act as dynamic support or resistance.
EMA-90	The 90-day EMA smooths medium-term price movements while remaining more responsive to recent changes than a simple moving average of the same period.	Shows medium-term trend direction. Useful for identifying support and resistance levels. Price crossing above or below can signal trend changes.
MA-200	A Simple Moving Average (MA) calculates the average price over a specified period. The 200-day MA is one of the most widely-watched long-term trend indicators.	Price above MA-200 is generally considered bullish; below is bearish. Often acts as strong support in uptrends or resistance in downtrends.
RSI	The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes on a scale of 0-100.	Rising RSI values indicate strengthening momentum, while falling values suggest momentum is slowing. Changes in RSI direction can signal when a trend may be changing. The 50 level serves as a neutral reference point.
