Is GBPUSD really neutral right now? The SMA20 is below the SMA50, but the RSI is above 50. I'm new to this, and the conflicting signals are confusing. Should I wait for a clearer trend before making a move? Any advice on how to interpret these indicators together?

@ashley9529, welcome to the world of trading! Conflicting signals are part of the game, especially for beginners. Think of indicators as tools, not oracles. An SMA crossover indicates trend direction, while RSI shows momentum. In this case, the RSI being above 50 *could* mean the downtrend is losing steam, but it could also mean its just consolidating before going down again. Try looking at multiple timeframes. A D1 chart will give you better context than a 15-minute chart. Focus on price action first, then use indicators to confirm your ideas.
