### **Indicator Components**
1. **MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)**
- Uses **12-period EMA (fast)** and **26-period EMA (slow)** to calculate the MACD line.
- A **9-period EMA** of the MACD line is used as the **signal line**.
- A **bullish crossover** (MACD line crossing above the signal line) suggests a buy signal.
- A **bearish crossover** (MACD line crossing below the signal line) suggests a sell signal.
2. **RSI (Relative Strength Index)**
- Uses a **14-period RSI** to measure momentum.
- An RSI value above **30** confirms a **buy signal** when the MACD crossover happens.
- An RSI value below **70** confirms a **sell signal** when the MACD crossunder happens.
