Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool made up of a moving average and two bands placed above and below it at a set standard deviation. The bands expand and contract with volatility. When the price touches or breaks the upper band, the asset may be overbought; when it hits the lower band, it may be oversold.

The Fear and Greed Index measures market sentiment in crypto, ranging from extreme fear to extreme greed on a scale of 0 to 100. It aggregates data such as volatility, trading volume, social media trends, and surveys. Traders use it to gauge whether the market is overly emotional — potentially signaling tops (greed) or bottoms (fear).

Fibonacci retracements are a technical analysis tool used to identify potential support and resistance levels based on key Fibonacci ratios (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%). Traders apply these levels to recent price moves to predict where a pullback might pause or reverse before the trend resumes. It’s often used in swing and trend trading strategies.

A Fixed Range Volume Profile is a technical analysis tool that displays trading activity over a specific price range. It shows the levels where the most trading volume occurred, highlighting key support and resistance zones like the value area low (VAL), point of control (POC) and value area high (VAH) of the range. Traders use ranges to identify areas of strong buying or selling interest.

MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of an asset’s price. It consists of the MACD line, signal line, and histogram. Traders use MACD to spot momentum shifts, trend strength, and potential buy or sell signals.

Moving Averages are trend-following indicators that smooth out price data over a defined time period. They help traders filter out short-term noise and identify potential support, resistance, and trend direction. The Simple Moving Average (SMA) gives equal weight to all periods, while the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive.

RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions. The RSI ranges from 0 to 100, with values above 70 typically signaling that an asset may be overbought and values below 30 suggesting it may be oversold. Traders use it to anticipate potential reversals or confirm trends.
