Plain-English explainers for the signals MomentumSift tracks. No jargon for its own sake, and honest about what each signal can and cannot tell you.

Guides

What is a golden cross? The 50/200 moving-average crossover, how it is calculated, and its limits. What is unusual options activity? Reading volume, open interest, premium, and the bought-vs-sold side. What are coiling stocks? Higher lows into resistance, a tightening range, and the breakout that follows. What is implied move? The expected move options price in for a report, and why it is a size not a direction. What is max pain? The strike where the most options expire worthless, from open interest by strike. What is RS rating? The 1-99 relative-strength percentile, and why it is not the same as RSI. What is a death cross? The 50/200 crossover to the downside, why it lags, and where it whipsaws. What is open interest? Standing option positions, why it beats volume, and how walls act as levels. What is a 52-week high breakout? Why new highs mean no overhead supply, and when buying strength works. What is IV rank? Where implied vol sits in its one-year range, and IV rank vs IV percentile. What is a cash-secured put? Selling puts for income, the return math, the risks, and the wheel strategy.
