Moving averages are simple indicators for traders to measure stock direction. A moving average is the average price of a stock over a set period of time. Moving averages are usually calculated on different periods depending on the trading timeframe 21, 50, 100 and 200 days are the most usual moving averages
Technical analysts use supports and resistances to spot price points on a chart that may act as barriers, preventing the price of an asset to move in certain direction. A support level is a level where the price may stop as it falls. This means that the price is more likely to "bounce off" this level rather than break through it. However, if the price breaks down the support, it will probably continue descending until meeting another support level. On the contrary, a resistance level is where the price may find a curb as it moves up. Again, this means that the price is more liable to "bounce off" at this level, and if it finally ruptures this level, it will rise more easily until it meets the next resistance
Price is at highs and there are not upper resistance levels.

Essentially, the Bollinger Bands are bands that fluctuate around a centralmoving average, varying the distance from the bottom to the top depending on market volatility. They are usually drawn by an offset of two standard deviations, above and below, from a moving average line. Bollinger himself recommends the moving average period to be 20
The price is moving near to the upper Bollinger band, indicating some level of overbought in recent sessions. This is not a sell point, as price can trade in these levels for many days and weeks

Oscillator indicators, such as relative strength, are designed to indicate values in the range of 0-100. J. Welles Wilder introduced the relative strength indicator in 1978 and since then it has been widely used by stock traders
RSI crossed over the 70 level today, with a reading of 70.4. The fact that the RSI value is in the overbought zone does not in any way imply a sell signal, as shares can be in the overvalued zone for many, many weeks and may continue to gain
