With RSI you can find out whether a price is overbought or oversold. In principle, the use of RSI is very easy.

Conversely, if the RSI has a very low value (under 30) it means that the market is oversold (oversold) so there is a potential to rise, it’s time to buy.

• MACD or Moving Average Convergence/Divergence

If the MACD value is positive (above zero), it means the market is bullish, it is recommended to buy. Meanwhile, if the MACD value is negative (below zero), it means the market is bearish, it is recommended to sell.

There are three types of Stochastic Oscillators: Fast, Slow, and Full. Usually there are two lines in the Stochastic, namely% K and% D. Buy and sell signals can be seen from the% K and% D lines.
