What is RSI?
RSI stands for Relative Strength Index. It is a momentum indicator that compares recent upward and downward price movements over a selected period. A common version is the 14-period RSI.
RSI is usually displayed from 0 to 100. Readings at or below 30 are often referenced as oversold territory, while readings at or above 70 are often referenced as overbought territory.
These zones are not automatic action points. In StockOptionApp, RSI is one piece of context combined with EMA distance, trend, sentiment, Fibonacci levels and fundamentals.
What is EMA?
EMA stands for Exponential Moving Average. It is a moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, so it reacts more quickly to recent price changes than a simple moving average.
Users often look at whether price is above or below an important EMA. StockOptionApp uses EMA information to show the relationship between the current price and the selected moving average.
What is EMA distance?
EMA distance measures how far the current price is from its exponential moving average. Instead of only showing above or below, it shows the size of the distance.
A price slightly above its EMA has a different context from a price far above it. StockOptionApp displays this distance visually so users can compare assets in a watchlist quickly.
EMA distance is informational only and should not be interpreted as a trading signal.
What is ATR?
ATR stands for Average True Range. It is a volatility indicator that measures how much an asset typically moves over a selected period, taking into account the high, low and previous close.
A common version is the 14-period ATR. Higher ATR values point to wider price movement and lower values point to calmer movement, but ATR does not show whether the trend is bullish or bearish.
Example: if a stock trades around $100 and its ATR is $2.50, its recent average range is about $2.50 per period. That means a daily move of $1 is relatively quiet, while a daily move of $5 is unusually large compared with its recent volatility.
In StockOptionApp, ATR is best read as risk and volatility context together with RSI, EMA distance, trend, volume and market sentiment.
What is the VIX?
The VIX is commonly known as a market volatility index and is often used as a broad reference for expected volatility in the U.S. equity market.
StockOptionApp displays VIX data and applies a simple context classification: Bearish at 10 or below, Slightly bearish at 15 or below, Slightly bullish at 25 or above and Bullish at 30 or above.
These labels are visual references only, not predictions or personalized recommendations.
What is the Fear & Greed Index?
Fear & Greed indicators summarize market sentiment and try to show whether the current mood is closer to fear, neutral conditions or greed.
StockOptionApp displays both stock-market and crypto-market sentiment context. It also includes a duration counter showing how many consecutive days the market has remained in its current sentiment zone.
When some sentiment levels persist for several days, visual references can highlight that persistence for educational analysis.
What are Fibonacci retracements?
Fibonacci retracement levels are used to review how far a price has moved back after a previous move. They are often drawn between a recent low and high, or high and low.
Common levels include 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 78.6%. StockOptionApp displays Fibonacci information as part of broader technical context.
It is not designed to provide entry points, exit points or instructions to take action.
What is trend context?
Trend context helps users understand whether an asset has been moving upward, downward or sideways over a given period.
This matters because short-term price movement can look different from the broader trend. StockOptionApp includes visual trend references so users can review direction without relying only on the latest price movement.
Trend context is descriptive information. It is not a prediction.
What is momentum context?
Momentum context describes the recent strength or weakness of a price movement.
In StockOptionApp, momentum helps users understand whether recent movement appears stronger, weaker, more stable or less clear compared with previous behavior.
This classification is intended to describe current context, not to recommend any action.
What are fundamental financial metrics?
Technical indicators focus mainly on price behavior. Fundamental financial metrics focus on company-level information.
StockOptionApp includes metrics such as P/E ratio, revenue growth, profit growth, operating margin, Debt/EBITDA and free cash flow.
These metrics can be displayed with visual labels such as Solid, Caution or Alert. The labels are informational only.
What is contextual analysis?
StockOptionApp includes a contextual analysis view for each asset. It brings together price movement, RSI, EMA distance, ATR, trend context, volume behavior, Fibonacci levels, market sentiment and other indicators.
The goal is to help users avoid relying only on a mental checklist. The contextual analysis organizes available information into a structured explanation.
This analysis is not financial advice, a prediction, a trading signal or an instruction to take action.
What are simulated scenarios?
StockOptionApp allows users to create simulated scenarios to compare a market hypothesis with how an asset evolves over time.
This can help users review whether the idea they had in mind fits actual price behavior, technical indicators and broader market context.
Simulated scenarios are educational and analytical only. They do not involve real transactions.
How StockOptionApp combines these indicators
Instead of forcing users to jump between multiple websites, StockOptionApp brings RSI, EMA distance, ATR, VIX, Fear & Greed, trend context, Fibonacci levels, fundamentals, contextual analysis and simulations into one dashboard.
The purpose is not to replace independent analysis. The purpose is to make market context easier to review, compare and organize.
Users can create a watchlist, update the dashboard, review technical and fundamental tabs, open contextual analysis and test simulated scenarios from the same interface.
