20-session Closing Breakout
The latest closing level is above every close in the preceding 20 available sessions. It identifies recent closing strength.

Oversold
Recent losses dominate recent gains. Selling pressure is strong; a rebound is possible, but further falls are possible too.
Golden Cross Active
The medium-term average is above the long-term average, and the index is above its long-term average. This describes a positive trend backdrop.
Death Cross Active
The medium-term average is below the long-term average, and the index is below its long-term average. This describes a weak trend backdrop.
Bollinger Lower Touch
The closing level is at or below the lower volatility band. It is low relative to its recent range.
Bollinger Upper Touch
The closing level is at or above the upper volatility band. It is high relative to its recent range.

A simple decision checklist
Check the bigger picture
Look at the trend, valuation and data date. An oversold reading and a weak long-term trend can appear together.
Wait for your setup
Choose what price behavior would support an entry. Several indicators derived from the same prices can repeat the same information.
Plan the exit first
Set your position size, invalidation level and review timeframe. A stop can execute beyond its intended price when markets gap.
