Executive Summary
Not sure when to buy or sell crypto? Three simple indicators — RSI, MACD, and EMA — can give you the edge. Even if you’re just starting out, learning how to read these tools helps you avoid emotional trades and improve your decision-making.
1. Key Concepts Explained
- RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Measures momentum.- Above 70 = Overbought (possible reversal down)
- Below 30 = Oversold (possible bounce up)
- MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
Tracks momentum trends using two lines and a histogram.- Bullish crossover = Buy signal
- Bearish crossover = Sell signal
- EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
A smoothed moving average line, more responsive than SMA.- Used to define trend direction (e.g., EMA20/EMA50/EMA200)
- Price above EMA = uptrend; below = downtrend
2. Real-World Strategy: Catching a Trend With ETH
Scenario: ETH price is dropping but showing signs of reversal.
Step-by-step application:
- RSI drops below 30 → Oversold condition (alert set)
- MACD lines start to converge → Wait for crossover confirmation
- Price crosses above EMA20 → Early sign of trend shift
- MACD crossover occurs → Buy signal confirmed
- Use EMA50 as trailing stop for holding
Tip: Combine all three — RSI for entry timing, MACD for confirmation, and EMA for trend following.
