Indicator Signals
Momentum, trend, and oscillator signals that provide early warnings of potential reversals and continuations. Each signal is explained with identification rules, real chart examples, and common mistakes.
Technical indicators process raw price and volume data to generate signals that are not immediately visible on a bare candlestick chart. Unlike pure price patterns, indicator signals add a layer of quantitative context — measuring momentum, trend strength, and overbought or oversold conditions. The most powerful setups arise when an indicator signal aligns with a price pattern or a key support and resistance level, creating confluence that increases the probability of a meaningful move.
