Gold Market Pulse

RSI measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes on a 0-100 scale. A value above 70 suggests the asset may be overbought (prices rose fast), while below 30 suggests oversold (prices dropped fast). It does not predict direction — it flags how stretched recent moves are.

MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) tracks the relationship between two exponential moving averages (12-day and 26-day). When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, momentum is shifting upward; when it crosses below, momentum is shifting downward. The histogram shows the gap between the two lines.

Bollinger Bands consist of a 20-day moving average with upper and lower bands at 2 standard deviations. When price is near the upper band (%B close to 100%), it's at the high end of recent range. Near the lower band (%B close to 0%), it's at the low end. Bands widen during volatile periods and narrow during calm ones.

Rate of Change (ROC) measures the percentage price change over a specific period. A positive 30-day ROC means the price is higher than 30 days ago. It indicates the speed of price movement — a rising ROC means acceleration, a falling ROC means deceleration.

Volatility measures how much the price fluctuates day-to-day, expressed as an annualized percentage. Low volatility (<8%) suggests stable prices. High volatility (>18%) suggests larger daily swings and more uncertainty. It does not indicate direction — just the magnitude of moves.
