Moving Averages — MA(10), MA(20), MA(30), MA(200)
Smooth lines overlaid on the price chart, each representing the average closing price over the last N periods. The daily chart displays MA(10), MA(20), and MA(30); the weekly chart adds the longer-term MA(200). Shorter-period MAs react faster to price changes, while longer ones show the broader trend. A golden cross (shorter MA crossing above a longer MA) is a classic bullish signal; a death cross (shorter crossing below) is bearish. When price trades above all visible MAs, the market structure is generally bullish; below all of them, bearish. The distance between MAs indicates trend strength — widening means momentum is building, narrowing suggests consolidation.
Volume
Vertical bars at the bottom of the main chart panel showing the number of units (or dollar-equivalent value) traded during each period. Volume confirms price moves: a breakout on rising volume has higher conviction than one on declining volume. A price rally on shrinking volume may signal weakening momentum and a potential reversal. Unusually high volume bars often accompany capitulation events (sharp selloffs) or breakouts (sharp upward moves). Comparing current volume to the recent average helps gauge whether the market is unusually active or quiet.
PPO — Percentage Price Oscillator
Two separate PPO panels are displayed beneath the chart: a Long-term PPO(21,34,0) and a Short-term PPO(5,13,0). The PPO calculates the percentage difference between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). When the PPO line is above zero, the faster EMA is above the slower one, indicating bullish momentum; below zero means bearish momentum. Key signals include: zero-line crossovers (trend direction changes), histogram expansion/contraction (momentum acceleration/deceleration), and divergences between price and PPO (price makes new highs but PPO doesn’t, or vice versa). The long-term PPO captures broader swings while the short-term PPO provides earlier, more sensitive signals.
StochRSI (14)
The Stochastic RSI applies the Stochastic oscillator formula to RSI values rather than raw price, making it an “indicator of an indicator.” It oscillates between 0 and 1 (sometimes displayed as 0–100). Readings above 0.80 indicate overbought conditions — the asset has been moving up aggressively and may be due for a pullback. Readings below 0.20 indicate oversold conditions — aggressive selling may be exhausted. Because it’s more sensitive than plain RSI, StochRSI generates earlier reversal signals, though it can also produce more false signals in strongly trending markets. Crossovers of the StochRSI above/below its signal line in extreme zones are higher-probability trading signals.
Full Stochastic %K(14,3) %D(3)
Weekly chart only. The Full Stochastic compares the current closing price to the high–low range over the past 14 periods, then smooths the result with a 3-period moving average (%K). %D is a 3-period moving average of %K. It ranges from 0 to 100. Readings above 80 are considered overbought; below 20 are oversold. The key signal is a %K/%D crossover in extreme territory: %K crossing above %D below 20 is a bullish buy signal, and %K crossing below %D above 80 is a bearish sell signal. This is a slower, smoother oscillator than StochRSI, better suited for the weekly timeframe to filter out noise.
CCI(20) — Commodity Channel Index
Weekly chart only. CCI measures how far the current price deviates from its statistical average over 20 periods, expressed in terms of mean deviation. It has no fixed upper or lower limit. Readings above +100 indicate the price is well above the average and may be overbought or in a strong uptrend; readings below −100 indicate the price is well below average and may be oversold or in a strong downtrend. CCI returning from >+100 back below +100 can signal trend exhaustion. Zero-line crossovers provide additional trend change signals. CCI is particularly useful for identifying cyclical turning points in Bitcoin’s macro chart.
