Here are two essential tools that every trader should know:
1: Using the Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Goal: Helps identify when an asset may be overbought or oversold.
Typical settings: RSI for a period of 14.
How it works:
Buy signal: When the RSI drops below 30 (indicating oversold conditions) and then rises back above it.
Sell signal: When the RSI rises above 70 (indicating overbought conditions) and then falls below it.
Example: If the RSI drops to 25 and then rises to 35, this signal may indicate a buying opportunity.

2: Using Moving Averages (MA)
Goal: Helps in detecting trends and potential areas of support or resistance.
Common settings: Short-term moving average (50 days) and long-term moving average (200 days)
