RSI is showing moderate buying pressure, but we're not in overbought territory yet. Here's what this means:
RSI measures the speed and magnitude of price changes. At 67.3, it tells us that recent buyers are in control, but not frantically so. This suggests confident accumulation rather than panic buying.
In this uptrend with increasing volume, RSI at 67.3 is actually healthy. In a sideways market, this same reading might signal a reversal. The trend context changes everything.
MACD line just crossed above the signal line with positive momentum. This is a classic bullish signal, but let's understand WHY it works:
MACD shows the relationship between two moving averages - essentially "fast money" vs "slow money". When fast money (12 EMA) pulls away from slow money (26 EMA), it suggests momentum is building.
Notice the increasing histogram bars? That shows the momentum is accelerating, not just crossing. Plus, we're crossing above zero - indicating we're in bullish territory overall.
Notice how the explanation considered the current trend, volume, and market conditions - not just the raw RSI number.
Instead of "RSI above 70 = sell," you learned about buyer confidence and accumulation patterns.
