How can a small business get a virtual phone number and business email?

A small business can rent a virtual (VoIP) phone number that rings in a browser or app, and set up email either on its own domain through an office suite or on a provider's domain for a few cents a month.

How do you read RSI and MACD on a crypto chart?

RSI tells you how strong recent price moves have been on a 0 to 100 scale; MACD tells you whether short-term momentum is speeding up or slowing down compared with the longer trend. Read them together, on closed candles and with the bigger trend in mind, and treat them as context, not as buy or sell buttons.
