Technicals Desk

Reads price structure, trend and momentum before anyone argues about the story.

Why the desk needs it

Narratives are cheap; the tape is not. The Technicals Desk establishes what the market is actually doing - trend, momentum, support and resistance, volume behavior - so the debate that follows argues against real price structure, not vibes.

What it reads
Price & volume history

Daily and intraday bars: trend state, moving-average posture, gaps, relative volume.

Momentum & breadth indicators

RSI, MACD, Bollinger position - where the move sits inside its own cycle.

Key levels

The support and resistance that later become the plan's stop and target candidates.

How it thinks
Structure over story

A beautiful narrative below a broken 200-day is still a broken chart.

Confirm or deny the move

Is the current move supported by volume and breadth, or running on fumes?

Mark the invalidation

Every technical read names the level where it would be wrong.

What it hands off
A trend & momentum report

The market-structure read the debaters must quote when they argue.

Level candidates

Supports and resistances that feed Trade Structuring's stop/target math.

A timing context

Whether the setup favors acting now or waiting for a better entry.

What it does not do

The more specialized a role is, the more clearly it has to know its boundary - overlap is where black-box answers come from.
