What is the Entry Signal?

The Entry Signal is Whystock's answer to "Should I buy now?" It combines three technical indicators to give you a clear recommendation: Strong Entry, Opportunistic Entry, Neutral, Caution, or High Risk.

How It Works

  • RSI (14-day): Below 30 = oversold (bullish), above 70 = overbought (bearish).
  • 50-day and 200-day SMAs: Price above both = uptrend; below both = downtrend.
  • MACD: MACD above signal line = bullish momentum; below = bearish.

We score these factors and map them to a recommendation. For example, RSI oversold + price above 200-day MA + MACD bullish typically yields a Strong Entry signal.

Signal Levels

  • Strong Entry: Multiple bullish indicators aligned.
  • Opportunistic Entry: More positive than negative signals.
  • Neutral — Hold: Mixed or balanced signals.
  • Caution — Wait: More bearish signals.
  • High Risk — Avoid: Multiple bearish indicators.
