Base Indicators

Every technical analysis request runs the full set of 7 base indicators automatically. These indicators are computed against the selected asset's OHLCV data and produce structured signal objects — not just raw numbers — which are then passed to the AI model for interpretation.

No configuration is required. The engine selects appropriate parameters for each indicator based on the chosen timeframe.

RSI — Relative Strength Index

Measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes on a 0–100 scale. Readings above 70 indicate overbought conditions; readings below 30 indicate oversold. The engine tracks RSI direction and divergence against price action, flagging hidden bullish or bearish divergences as high-weight signals for the AI.

MACD — Moving Average Convergence Divergence

Tracks the relationship between two exponential moving averages (12 and 26 periods) via a signal line (9-period EMA of the MACD line). Bullish crossovers — where the MACD line crosses above the signal — indicate building upward momentum. The histogram value captures the distance between the two lines and reveals acceleration or deceleration in trend strength.

EMA Ribbon — 20 / 50 / 200

Three exponential moving averages form a trend ribbon. When all three are aligned in the same order (price above EMA 20, above EMA 50, above EMA 200), the trend is considered strongly directional. Compression of the ribbon — where the three EMAs converge — signals a potential breakout. Golden cross (EMA 50 crossing above EMA 200) and death cross patterns are flagged explicitly in the signal output.

Bollinger Bands — 20 period, 2 standard deviations

A dynamic volatility envelope centered on a 20-period simple moving average, with upper and lower bands set 2 standard deviations apart. Band squeezes — where the bands contract sharply — precede high-probability breakouts. Price touching or closing outside the bands is interpreted as an extension signal, frequently followed by a reversion toward the midline.

VWAP — Volume-Weighted Average Price

Calculates the average price paid per unit of volume over the session, giving a fair-value benchmark weighted by traded size. Price trading above VWAP indicates buyers are in control and the market is trading at a premium; below VWAP suggests the opposite. Institutional traders and market makers frequently use VWAP as a reference for execution, making it a reliable inflection zone on intraday timeframes.

Support & Resistance — Fractal Levels

Key price zones are identified algorithmically using fractal pivot analysis — looking for local highs and lows where price reversed multiple times. Each zone is assigned a strength score based on the number of touches, the recency of the reaction, and the volume present at the level. Strong levels are rendered as labelled horizontal zones on the chart.

Elliott Wave Theory — Multi-degree Patterns

The engine attempts to classify the current price structure within Elliott Wave Theory, identifying impulsive (5-wave) and corrective (3-wave) sequences across multiple degrees of trend. When a valid wave count is detected, the model reports the current wave position and projects Fibonacci extension targets for the next expected move — typically the 1.618 and 2.618 extensions of the prior wave.
