HDThe Home Depot, Inc.

Compares a fast moving average to a slow one. When the fast is above the slow, the trend is positive. Period settings are automatically calibrated per asset class.

For The Home Depot, Inc., the fast moving average has crossed below the slow one. By this indicator's definition that corresponds to a downtrend, a description of past price action.

ADX does not measure direction, only how pronounced a trend is, regardless of whether it points up or down. We use it as a filter: only above a certain value does a trend count as strong enough to give other signals more weight. Direction itself comes from the separate ADX Direction signal.

ADX stands at 14.7, a weak-trend environment, where directional signals carry less weight.

The Relative Strength Index measures the ratio of upward to downward price movements over the last 14 trading days (Wilder smoothing) on a scale of 0 to 100. Our neutral zone is 45 to 55, tighter than the classic 30/70 band, outside of it the methodology reads the RSI as overbought or oversold.

RSI stands at 41.1, in the zone this indicator defines as oversold, downward moves clearly outweighed upward moves over the last 14 trading days. In the past, counter-moves occurred more often in such zones than in neutral phases; that describes history, not the individual case.

MACD measures the gap between two exponentially smoothed averages. Our periods are 12/20/9 instead of the common 12/26/9, and the signal threshold is normalized to 0.3% of the current price rather than the raw MACD value, which keeps the threshold comparable across different price levels.

MACD stands at -0.6%, below the negative threshold, momentum over recent weeks is downward.

Rate of Change measures the percentage price change over the last 63 trading days, roughly one quarter, a medium-term window, not a short-term daily or weekly read.

The Home Depot, Inc. is -4.4% lower than 63 trading days ago, a negative medium-term price change.

Measures how close the current price is to its highest point over the last 252 trading days, roughly one year. A value near 100% means the price is at or near its yearly high.

The Home Depot, Inc. trades at 77.7% of its 52-week high, neither near the high nor far from it.

Checks whether the recent price movement is accelerating or decelerating. Unlike Rate of Change, this indicator measures the pace of the change, not the change itself.

The Home Depot, Inc. shows an accelerating downward move at -4.3%, recent price losses are larger than before.

Williams %R shows where the current price sits within the high-low range of the last 14 trading days. We read it as contrarian: a favorable signal only fires on a confirmed turn upward out of the oversold zone, not on any low value by itself, an extreme oversold reading alone never produces a cautious signal for us.

Williams %R stands at -95.4, the price sits near the lower end of the 14-day trading range. This is the same zone classification a low RSI indicates.

The Stochastic oscillator shows where the closing price sits within the recent trading range. A low or high value alone isn't enough for us: a signal only fires once %K and %D are both below 20 (or above 80) and %K is crossing upward (or downward), a confirmed turning point rather than a raw level.

Stochastic %K stands at 4.6, currently without a confirmed crossover in either direction.

Compares price performance over a medium-term period against a broad stock market index as a reference. A value above 1.0 means stronger performance than the reference index, below 1.0 means weaker.

The Home Depot, Inc. stands at 0.90, below the reference index, price performance over the period was weaker than the reference index's.
