Note 4: How to Read the Charts?

The Green colour line reflects the 21-period moving average, while the red line indicates the 50-period moving average. SMA helps to identify existing price trends. If the prices are trading below the 21-period and 50-period moving averages, then it shows prices are currently trading in a bearish trend. 

The Black colour line in the chart’s lower segment reflects the Relative Strength Index (14-Period) which indicates price momentum and signals momentum in trend. A reading of 70 or above suggests overbought status while a reading of 30 or below suggests an oversold status.

The Blue colour bars in the chart’s lower segment show the volume of the stock. The volume is the number of shares that changed hands during a given day. Stocks with high volumes are more liquid than stocks with lesser volume as liquidity in stocks helps with easier and faster execution of the order.

The Orange colour lines are the trend lines drawn by connecting two or more price points and used for trend identification purposes. The trend line also acts as a line of support and resistance.

Technical Indicators Defined: -

Support: A level at which the stock prices tend to find support if they are falling, and a downtrend may take a pause backed by demand or buying interest. Support 1 refers to the nearby support level for the stock and if the price breaches the level, then Support 2 may act as the crucial support level for the stock.

Resistance: A level at which the stock prices tend to find resistance when they are rising, and an uptrend may take a pause due to profit booking or selling interest.

Parabolic SAR: Parabolic SAR is a trend-following indicator that acts as a trailing stop. If the price stops rising and reverses below SAR, it indicates the start of a downtrend with SAR above the price following like a trailing stop. Similarly, if the prices stop falling and move above SAR, it indicates the start of an uptrend with SAR below the price following like a trailing stop.

MACD-Histogram: Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)-Histogram is the difference between the MACD and its signal line. A positive value of the MACD-Histogram indicates a positive crossover between MACD and its signal line, whereas a negative value indicates a negative crossover.

The reference date for all price data, currency, technical indicators, support, and resistance levels is October 17, 2023. The reference data in this report has been partly sourced from REFINITIV.
