Momentum: RSI and MACD
The 14-day RSI reads 65.3, between 30 and 70, neither extreme. RSI compares the size of recent up days with recent down days on a 0 to 100 scale.
MACD (12, 26, 9) is 0.01327 against a signal line of 0.009699, so the MACD line is above its signal. MACD measures the gap between a fast and a slow exponential average.
Volume and range
Volume on the day was 0.55 times its 20-day average. Volume counts how much traded; a move on heavy volume involved more of the market than one on light volume.
The Bollinger Bands (20 days, 2 standard deviations) run from $0.1817 to $0.2670, and the close is inside the bands.
Over the previous 30 days the highest close was $0.2587 and the lowest $0.1925.
