Technical Indicators

SMA gives equal weight to all periods; EMA weights recent prices more heavily and reacts faster to trend shifts.

Price consistently above a rising 50- or 200-day EMA confirms an uptrend — a core filter for swing traders.

RSI (0–100) measures velocity of price change:

• Above 70: Overbought — trend strong but extended.
• Below 30: Oversold — bounce possible.
• Swing filter: In uptrends, pullbacks to RSI 40–50 often offer entries.

20-period SMA with upper/lower bands at ±2 standard deviations. A tight squeeze signals low volatility and often precedes an explosive breakout.
