A learning dashboard for traditional markets. Tape computes the textbook technical indicators — RSI, moving averages, golden/death crosses, ATR, support & resistance — on eight tier-1 instruments and explains, in plain English, what each condition conventionally means. This page teaches how indicators are read. It does not tell you what to do.

Measures the speed of recent gains versus losses on a 0–100 scale. The textbook reading: above 70 is "overbought," below 30 "oversold." It flags stretched conditions — it does not time reversals; strong trends can stay overbought for weeks.
The 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages smooth price into trend. Price above a rising 200-day is the classic definition of a long-term uptrend. These lines matter partly because so many institutions watch the same ones.
When the 50-day crosses above the 200-day it's a "golden cross" (bullish regime, textbook); crossing below is a "death cross." They are slow, lagging signals — famous mostly for describing what has already happened.
Average True Range — the instrument's typical daily movement. It calibrates expectations: a 0.8% move in a market with a 0.7% ATR is a normal day; the same move with a 0.3% ATR is an event.
Swing points where price previously turned, clustered when close together. The more times a level has been touched, the more resting orders tend to sit there. Levels are references, not walls — they break routinely.
How close price sits to its 30-day high or low. Approaching a range edge doesn't predict a break — it marks where one would have to happen, which is why desks watch these zones.
