Recalculated after every market close

Technical Analysis

See how a stock is actually being traded — its trend, momentum, volatility and the volume behind the move. DocStoX computes over fifty indicators from daily NSE and BSE price data after each close, so the reading on a stock page is the same one a screener would give you, with the as-of date shown.

What a stock’s technicals section shows

Trend state

Whether price sits above its 50 and 200-day averages, the Supertrend state, and whether a golden or death cross has just printed.

Momentum reading

RSI(14) with its oversold and overbought flags, the MACD crossover state, and ADX for how strong the current trend actually is.

Volatility & participation

ATR %, 20-day historical volatility, Bollinger position, and whether the day traded on unusual volume.

Indicator reference

Every parameter below is the one DocStoX actually computes with, and every threshold is the conventional definition the pipeline encodes — not a level tuned to make a chart look right. Where an indicator is commonly misread, that is said plainly.

Trend

Trend indicators answer one question: which direction has the weight of trading been pushing price, and is that still true today?

Moving averages (SMA / EMA)

SMA 20 / 50 / 200 · EMA 9 / 20 / 50 / 200

The average closing price over the last N sessions, replotted each day. The 200-day average is the standard long-term trend marker; the 50-day is the medium-term one. An EMA weights recent sessions more heavily, so it turns faster than an SMA of the same length.

How to read it. Price above its 200-day average is conventionally read as a long-term uptrend, below it as a downtrend. The average itself often acts as a reference level traders watch, but it is a description of the past, not a prediction — averages lag price by construction.

Golden cross / death cross

50-day SMA vs 200-day SMA

A golden cross is flagged on the day the 50-day average closes above the 200-day average, having been below it the previous day. A death cross is the mirror image.

How to read it. It marks that medium-term strength has overtaken the long-term trend. Because both inputs are lagging averages, the cross confirms a move that has already happened rather than calling one — treat it as context, not a trigger.

Supertrend

Period 7, ATR multiplier 3.0

A trailing band placed a multiple of Average True Range away from price. It flips from below price to above it when price closes through the band.

How to read it. The band below price is the bullish state, above price the bearish state. Because it is volatility-scaled it stays wider on choppy stocks — which also means it whipsaws in sideways markets.

ADX (with +DI / −DI)

14-period

ADX measures how strong a trend is, not which way it points. +DI and −DI show which side is dominant.

How to read it. Conventionally, a reading above 25 is treated as a trending market and below 20 as a rangebound one. A rising ADX means the current move is strengthening regardless of direction, so ADX alone never tells you whether to be long or short.

Momentum

Momentum indicators measure the speed of a move — whether buying or selling has become stretched relative to the recent past.

RSI (Relative Strength Index)

14-period (9-period also computed)

Compares the size of recent gains to recent losses on a 0–100 scale. Wilder’s original design, and the thresholds DocStoX screens on, are 30 and 70.

How to read it. Below 30 is labelled oversold, above 70 overbought. Critically, these are not buy and sell signals: a stock in a strong uptrend can hold an RSI above 70 for months, and a deteriorating business can stay below 30 all the way down. RSI is a timing and context tool, never a reason on its own.

MACD

Fast 12, slow 26, signal 9

The MACD line is the 12-period EMA minus the 26-period EMA; the signal line is a 9-period EMA of that; the histogram is the gap between them.

How to read it. A bullish crossover is recorded when the MACD line closes above the signal line having been below it the day before, and bearish for the reverse. A histogram shrinking toward zero means the current move is losing pace. Like all EMA-derived measures it lags, and it produces frequent false crossovers in sideways markets.

Stochastic, CCI, Williams %R, MFI, ROC

Stoch 14,3,3 · CCI 20 · %R 14 · MFI 14 · ROC 10

A family of oscillators. Stochastic locates the close within its recent high-low range; CCI measures deviation from a moving average; Williams %R is a range measure inverted; MFI is a volume-weighted RSI; ROC is raw rate of change.

How to read it. They largely agree with each other and with RSI, so stacking them is not extra confirmation — it is the same signal counted several times. Their value is in disagreement: when a volume-weighted measure such as MFI diverges from price-only ones, the move may not be broadly supported.

Volatility & volume

These size the move rather than direct it — how much a stock typically travels, and whether the participation behind a move is unusual.

Bollinger Bands (+ %B, width)

20-period, 2 standard deviations

A 20-period average with bands two standard deviations either side. %B places the current price inside those bands; width tracks how far apart they are.

How to read it. Price at the upper band means it is statistically extended relative to the last 20 sessions — not that it must fall. Narrowing width (a squeeze) shows volatility contracting, which often precedes a larger move, though it does not indicate the direction.

ATR and ATR %

14-period, ATR % = ATR ÷ close

Average True Range is the typical daily range in rupees; ATR % restates it as a share of price so stocks of different prices are comparable.

How to read it. This is a position-sizing and stop-placement input, not a directional signal. A stop tighter than roughly one ATR will usually be hit by ordinary daily noise.

Historical volatility

20-day, annualised

The annualised standard deviation of the last 20 sessions of returns.

How to read it. A risk gauge. High realised volatility means wider expected swings in both directions, and it is what an options premium is compared against.

Volume ratio and breakouts

Volume ÷ 20-day average volume; breakout flagged at ≥ 2.0×

How today’s traded volume compares with its recent norm. DocStoX flags a volume breakout when a session trades at least twice the 20-day average.

How to read it. Volume shows conviction behind a price move. A breakout on ordinary volume is weaker evidence than the same move on double the usual turnover — but volume spikes also occur on index rebalances and block deals, which are not directional at all.

Common questions

What technical indicators does DocStoX calculate?

Moving averages (SMA 20/50/200 and EMA 9/20/50/200), RSI (14 and 9), MACD (12/26/9), Bollinger Bands (20, 2), ATR (14) and ATR %, 20-day annualised historical volatility, ADX (14) with +DI and −DI, Supertrend (7, 3), Stochastic (14,3,3), CCI (20), Williams %R (14), MFI (14), ROC (10), OBV, VWAP, pivot levels and candlestick patterns — plus derived signals such as golden cross, RSI oversold or overbought, and 52-week highs and lows.

How often are the indicators updated?

They are recomputed from daily price data after the market close, once the day’s bhavcopy has been ingested. Every stock page shows the as-of date of the technicals it is displaying, so you always know how fresh the reading is.

Does an RSI below 30 mean a stock is a buy?

No. An RSI below 30 only says price has fallen fast relative to its own recent history. Stocks in a genuine decline routinely stay oversold for months while the business deteriorates. Momentum readings are best used to time an idea you already believe in on fundamental grounds, not to generate the idea.

Can technical analysis replace fundamental analysis?

They answer different questions. Technicals describe how a stock is currently being traded — trend, momentum, volatility, participation. They say nothing about whether the business earns good returns or what it is worth. DocStoX shows both on the same page for that reason: use valuation to decide what to own, and technicals for context on the price you are paying.

Technical indicators describe past price and volume. They are provided for research and education, are not investment advice, and no indicator or threshold predicts future returns.
