📌 Introduction: Why Combine RSI, MACD, and Moving Averages?
Technical traders often rely on a combination of indicators to filter noise and increase trade accuracy. Three of the most powerful indicators—Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), and Moving Averages (MA)—work exceptionally well together to confirm trends, reversals, and momentum shifts.
📌 Why use this combo?
RSI identifies overbought/oversold levels.
MACD confirms trend strength and direction.
Moving Averages help identify key support/resistance and trend continuation.
🔍 Understanding the Indicators
1️⃣ Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Measures momentum from 0 to 100.
Above 70: Overbought (possible reversal down)
Below 30: Oversold (possible reversal up)
RSI divergence with price signals potential trend change.

2️⃣ MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
Composed of MACD Line, Signal Line, and Histogram.
Bullish signal: MACD crosses above Signal Line.
Bearish signal: MACD crosses below Signal Line.
