This study investigates the effectiveness of selected technical indicators in decoding market trends of five major NSE-listed companies: Reliance Industries, Infosys, Tata Motors, State Bank of India, and Larsen & Toubro. Using six months of historical price data sourced from leading trading platforms, the analysis applies Relative Strength Index (RSI), Simple Moving Averages (SMA), Bollinger Bands, and Standard Deviation to evaluate trend direction, momentum strength, overbought and oversold conditions, and market volatility. The study finds that SMA crossovers serve as reliable signals of trend reversals, while RSI effectively identifies momentum shifts and potential entry/exit points. Bollinger Bands reveal periods of volatility contraction and expansion, highlighting breakout zones and price extremes. Standard deviation further validates fluctuations in volatility across the selected stocks. Collectively, these indicators provide meaningful insights into market behavior, enabling traders to interpret price movements with greater precision. The findings reinforce that while technical indicators do not guarantee price prediction, their combined application significantly enhances decision-making in dynamic market environments. The study concludes that multi-indicator strategies offer a more robust approach to understanding stock market behavior, particularly in fast-moving sectors, and recommends integrating technical analysis with fundamental perspectives for improved investment outcomes.
