Indicator Breakdown

What each indicator category covers and why it matters

Moving Averages

SMA smooths noise. EMA reacts faster to recent price. Together they define trend direction and dynamic support and resistance levels. This is the first tool in any technical trader's toolkit.

MACD

Shows momentum shifts before price confirms. Crossovers, histogram divergence, and zero-line crosses are the three primary signals. One of the most widely used indicators in professional trading.

RSI

Measures relative strength from 0 to 100. Readings above 70 signal overbought, below 30 signal oversold — but context determines whether to act. The course covers the exceptions that beginners consistently get wrong.

OBV & Volume Profile

Volume precedes price. OBV confirms trend strength. Anchored Volume Profile shows where institutional volume is concentrated — critical for understanding where significant buyers and sellers are positioned.

Fibonacci

Price respects key Fibonacci levels — 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% retracements and 1.272x, 1.618x extensions — with enough consistency to trade around them. The course covers both the standard retracement tool and advanced setup techniques used in the ITS.
