Technical indicators are tools that interpret price, momentum, and participation in the stock market. Among them, RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and Volume are the most widely used because they answer three different questions:
RSI β How strong is the move?
MACD β Is the trend changing?
Volume β Is the move supported by real money?
