Technicals Desk
Reads price structure, trend and momentum before anyone argues about the story.
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.
Daily and intraday bars: trend state, moving-average posture, gaps, relative volume.
RSI, MACD, Bollinger position - where the move sits inside its own cycle.
The support and resistance that later become the plan's stop and target candidates.
A beautiful narrative below a broken 200-day is still a broken chart.
Is the current move supported by volume and breadth, or running on fumes?
Every technical read names the level where it would be wrong.
The market-structure read the debaters must quote when they argue.
Supports and resistances that feed Trade Structuring's stop/target math.
Whether the setup favors acting now or waiting for a better entry.
- It does not read filings or news - that context belongs to the other desks.
- It does not issue the call - it reports what the tape says, nothing more.
The more specialized a role is, the more clearly it has to know its boundary - overlap is where black-box answers come from.
