Pivot points identify areas of potential support for a falling market and resistance in a rising market, based on the previous day's high, low and closing prices. There are seven levels, and the middle level signals a change in sentiment.

Relative strength indexes show how rapidly prices have advanced or dropped during a specified time period. Readings above 70 indicate a price may be poised to fall, and readings below 30 indicate it may be poised to rise.

Moving averages point to changes in price trends. When the 30-day average breaks above the 200-day average, for example, the move suggests that prices may rise or vice versa.

Bollinger bands, developed by analyst John Bollinger, are based on historical price swings. The bands narrow and widen to reflect the size of those moves, and represent possible support and resistance levels.
