SMAs overview

Usual time periods used for moving averages are 21 days, 50 days, 100 days and 200 days. Further about Moving Averages from sources like Wikipedia and Investopedia

Supports and resistances

Market investors use support and resistance levels as a way to find price points on a chart that may work as glass ceiling, preventing the price of an asset to move up or down. Supports are levels where the price may stop as it falls. Price is more likely to "rebound" this level rather than break through it. Nevertheless, if the price breaks down the support, it is likely to continue descending until approaching another support level. On the other side, resistance levels are where the price may find a curb as it rises. In the same way, the price is more likely to "bounce off" at this level, and if it finally ruptures this level, it will rise more easily until it meets the next resistance

The current resistances are:
