Signal Analysis in Detail
EMA Crossover — Trend Direction
CAUTIOUSCompares 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.
McDonald's Corporation is currently in a downtrend — the fast moving average has crossed below the slow one. This suggests weakening demand and short-term momentum favoring sellers.
RSI — Momentum Strength
40.4The Relative Strength Index measures the ratio of upward to downward price movements over the last 14 trading days on a scale of 0 to 100. Readings above 55 confirm positive momentum, below 45 negative.
RSI stands at 40.4 — in the neutral zone between 45 and 55. Neither buyers nor sellers are clearly dominant. Momentum is balanced, which in combination with a clear EMA trend suggests a stable phase, but with a neutral trend indicates directionlessness.
Williams %R — Position in Trading Range
-45.9Williams %R shows where the current price sits within the high-low range of the last 14 trading days. Values near 0: price at the top. Values near -100: at the bottom.
Williams %R stands at -45.9 — a neutral position. The price is in the middle of the recent trading range, without extremes in either direction.
