What Are BULLISH/BEARISH Signals?

TouchGrass plots a signal label whenever the 9-period MA crosses the 21-period MA. This classic crossover system captures momentum shifts in a visual, easy-to-read format.

🟢 BULLISH Signal

Fast MA (9) crosses ABOVE Slow MA (21). Momentum shifting up.

🔴 BEARISH Signal

Fast MA (9) crosses BELOW Slow MA (21). Momentum shifting down.

✅ When to Trust the Signal

✓Signal aligns with higher timeframe. BULLISH on 15m while 1H MA is also green = high conviction.
✓Signal near key level. BULLISH signal at PDL or VWAP = confluence support.
✓Signal after consolidation. Crossover after a range = potential breakout.
✓Volume confirmation. If volume spikes on the signal candle, more conviction.

⚠️ When to Be Cautious

✗Choppy/range market. Signals whipsaw when there's no clear trend. Wait for range break.
✗Counter to higher timeframe. BULLISH on 5m while 1H is red = likely to fail.
✗Signal at major resistance. BULLISH signal right at PDH without break = potential trap.
✗Low volume crossover. No volume = no conviction. Wait for confirmation.

🎯 Simple Signal Strategy

Wait for Signal

Don't anticipate. Let the BULLISH or BEARISH label appear.

Check Context

Is the higher timeframe aligned? Is price at a key level? Any divergence warnings?

Enter on Pullback

Best entries come on the first pullback to the MA after the signal. Don't chase.

Set Stop & Target

Stop below recent swing low (longs) or above swing high (shorts). Target next key level.
