Interpretation Guides

Common Indicator Reads

RSI Levels

• > 70: Overbought (potential reversal down)
• 50-70: Bullish momentum
• 30-50: Bearish momentum
• < 30: Oversold (potential reversal up)

MACD Signals

• Histogram > 0: Bullish
• Histogram < 0: Bearish
• Histogram crossing zero: Trend change
• MACD line crossing signal line: Buy/sell signal

Bollinger Bands

• Price at upper band: Overbought
• Price at lower band: Oversold
• Bands widening: Increasing volatility
• Bands narrowing: Decreasing volatility (squeeze)

Analysis Patterns

Trend confirmation: Use ADX + EMA/SMA. ADX > 25 indicates strong trend. EMA crossing SMA confirms direction.

Overbought/Oversold: Use RSI + Stochastic together. Both confirming increases signal strength.

Divergence: Price making new highs/lows but indicator not confirming = potential reversal.
