# Technical Indicators

> Standard momentum and trend indicators (RSI, MACD, SMA) for a symbol.

Calculate standard momentum and trend indicators.
Returns RSI(14) with conventional above-70 overbought and below-30 oversold heuristic
labels; those labels are not reversal forecasts.
Also returns MACD for momentum and the 20- and 50-period simple moving averages for
trend direction.
