Relative Strength Index (RSI)

The Relative Strength Index (RSI): A Beginner’s GuideThe Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of the most widely used technical indicators in trading. Developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978, it helps traders evaluate the momentum of a market and identify overbought or oversold conditions. What is RSI? RSI is an oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of price changes over a specific period, typically 14 periods. It provides a value between 0 and 100, which helps traders gauge whether an asset is overbought or oversold. Overbought: RSI above 70 suggests the asset might be overbought and due for a correction. Oversold: RSI below 30 indicates the asset might be oversold and due for a rebound. The RSI Formula The RSI is calculated as: Where: RS= Average Gain of Up Periods (over the lookback period) / Average Loss of Down Periods (over the lookback period) How to Interpret RSI 1. Overbought and Oversold Levels: - When RSI crosses above 70, it may signal that the asset is overbought and could experience a price decline. - When RSI drops below 30, it may indicate that the asset is oversold and could see a price increase. 2. Divergence: - Bullish Divergence: When the price makes lower lows, but RSI makes higher lows, it suggests a potential upward reversal. - Bearish Divergence: When the price makes higher highs, but RSI makes lower highs, it indicates a potential downward reversal. 3. Centerline Crossover: - RSI crossing above 50 is often viewed as a bullish signal, indicating upward momentum. - RSI crossing below 50 suggests bearish momentum. Strengths of RSI - Versatility: Works well in a variety of markets (stocks, forex, crypto, etc.) and timeframes. - Simplicity: Easy to interpret for beginners. - Divergences: Offers insight into potential trend reversals. Limitations of RSI - False Signals**: RSI can provide false overbought/oversold signals in strong trending markets. - Lagging Indicator: Like most indicators, RSI relies on historical data, which may delay signals. Best Practices for Using RSI 1. Combine with Other Indicators: - Use RSI with trend-following indicators like Moving Averages or MACD to filter out false signals. - Pair it with support and resistance levels to validate potential reversals. 2. Adjust the Period: - Shorten the period (e.g., 7 or 9) for more sensitive signals. - Lengthen the period (e.g., 20 or 30) for smoother, less frequent signals. 3. Context Matters: - In a trending market, RSI may remain overbought or oversold for extended periods. Use it cautiously in such conditions. Example of RSI in Action Imagine a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin has been rallying for several days, and the RSI rises above 70. This suggests that Bitcoin might be overbought, and a pullback could occur soon. However, if the market trend is strong, Bitcoin’s RSI could stay above 70 for an extended period. Combining RSI with trend analysis or support/resistance levels can provide better insights. Conclusion The RSI is a powerful tool for traders seeking to understand market momentum and potential reversal points. While it’s simple to use, its effectiveness increases when combined with other indicators and market context. As always, practice using RSI on historical data before applying it to live trades, and remember that no single indicator guarantees success

3MINDIA - Nice Reversal?RSI is looking strong and closing is also above 20EMA Band. Expecting it to fall a bit to normalize the RSI, which CAN BE the right time to enter. For stop loss, closing below 20EMA band or previous swing low can be used. It is purely individual study and choice. Currently market is very volatile and we also have earning of 3MINDIA in coming week, which can contradict my study and analysis. Hence do your own analysis and act accordingly. Strictly follow Risk Reward management and strict SL is necessary.

RNDR Chart AnalysisLets break it down: Structure and Price Action: **Rising Wedge Formation**: The chart shows a **rising wedge**, which is typically a bearish reversal pattern. Price is currently trading near the lower boundary of the wedge, increasing the likelihood of a breakdown. **Red Resistance Zone**: The price rejected the key **red resistance zone** between $10.0–$11.0, indicating strong selling pressure. **Higher Lows**: Despite rejection at resistance, the price has maintained **higher lows**, signaling bullish attempts to sustain the uptrend. **Bearish Momentum Developing**: Price is now testing the rising support line. A breakdown here could lead to a reversal toward lower levels. Support and Resistance: **Immediate Resistance**: $10.0–$11.0 (red resistance zone where sellers are dominant). **Key Support Levels**: $8.50: Rising support line and psychological level. $7.50–$7.00: Green order block area where buyers previously stepped in. Below $7.00: Strong support near $5.50–$5.00 (historical support zone). Indicators: Moving Averages (EMA 20/50/100/200): Price remains above the **EMA 20** ($8.96) and EMA 50 ($7.82), showing bullish bias in the short-term trend. The **EMA 100/200** at $7.03 and $6.68, respectively, provide stronger long-term support. Money Flow Index (MFI): **58.08** indicates neutral momentum but leaning slightly toward bullish, suggesting buyers still have some control. Stochastic RSI: The Stochastic RSI is currently near **oversold territory** (11.56), suggesting a potential bounce from support levels. However, if price fails to hold support, oversold conditions can persist, leading to further downside. Volume: Volume during the recent move upward has been declining, suggesting weakening bullish momentum. Watch for a volume spike on any breakout or breakdown to confirm direction. Pattern Analysis: The **rising wedge** pattern signals caution as it leans bearish. A breakdown below the wedge's lower trendline would confirm a reversal. Rejection at the red resistance zone strengthens the bearish outlook unless bulls regain control. Probabilistic Outlook: Bearish Breakdown (Primary Scenario): If price breaks below the rising support line (~$8.50), bearish momentum will increase. Key downside targets: **First Target**: $7.50 (order block zone). **Second Target**: $7.00–$6.50 (EMA 100/200 levels). **Third Target**: $5.50–$5.00 (major historical support). Bullish Continuation (Alternate Scenario): If price reclaims $10.0–$11.0 with strong volume, the uptrend will resume. Key upside targets: **First Resistance**: $11.50. **Second Resistance**: $12.00–$12.50 (previous highs). Key Signals to Watch: A breakdown below the rising support line (~$8.50) = **Bearish confirmation**. A breakout above $10.0–$11.0 resistance = **Bullish continuation**. Volume spike during breakout or breakdown will confirm the move. Conclusion: The chart shows a **rising wedge** with weakening bullish momentum, increasing the probability (~65–70%) of a bearish breakdown. A decisive break below $8.50 would target lower levels at $7.50 and beyond. Conversely, a breakout above $10.0–$11.0 could invalidate the wedge and continue the uptrend toward $12.00.

$REGN LongThis is just my observation, but not an advice. Technical: REGN touched its two strong trendline since 2020 and 2021. REGN reached the 50% correction since 2020. REGN is oversold daily and weekly. A significant divergence is observable on daily chart. Price touched SMA 200. Fundamental: P/E: 16.9x (moderate undervalue) Since last ATH NASDAQ:REGN has come up with wide ranges of successful clinical trial outcomes. Nonetheless, prices dropped due to competitive pressures on Eylea. Last week, after significant clinical trial results of Odronextamab and Poze-Cemdi, the market moved up. However, the price slid after the BoA's PT revision. Analyst sentiments: 17 buy, 7 buy, 1 sell (BoA) The long possibility is high from now on.

A Look Again At RSI The RSI is beginning to print very bullish horizontal movement that is the print of a bull market The left hand side of this pattern is already printed, with the white vertical line being the middle of the pattern, now what is emerging is the right hand side of this larger structural pattern on the RSI, also indicative of a bull market. Early 2025 is going to be very bullish. Little white circle is where we are now corresponding to the last pattern if they evolve relatively the same.

Shiba Prints a Triangle, When Will It Break?Here on COINBASE:SHIBUSD we can see recent Price Action is outlining a Triangle Pattern having Pushed up through the Sept. Highs after the Pro-Crypto Trump Administration won the Presidency, and being rejected from May Highs! Price has been able to find Minor Support in the .000023 - .000022 area, but based on Tests 1 and 2 of the Falling Resistance showing Less Volume with each touch, Buyers seem to be losing their strength. Every Trendline needs at least 3 Tests to Validate their Strength and Probability of holding Price and we are currently waiting on that 3rd Test potentially in the .000027 area. -If the Falling Resistance is able to hold Price, we could see it decline to the nearest area of Structure being the Support from the Sept. Highs @ .000021 - .000020 -If the Falling Resistance is broken, Price creating a new Higher High must be followed by a significant amount of Volume Validating the Break otherwise it could be a False Break! The 200 EMA and DSR have printed a Golden Cross increasing the probability of Bullish moves to come! Indicators: - Price Trading Above 200 EMA - RSI Above 50 - BBTrend Printing Green Bars

PEPE Is Falling, Should You Invest?Lets break down CRYPTO:PEPEUSD on the Daily Chart! After Robinhood & Coinbase listed CRYPTO:PEPEUSD on their platforms, we see the accumulation of Trading Interest rise which helps push price up, breaking the Highs of May! Since having created the Higher High @ .000025676, Price has been falling and seems to be creating a familiar Bullish Pattern called a "Falling Wedge", formed by Lower Highs (Falling Resistance) into Lower Lows (Falling Support). Wedge Patterns are considered Continuation Patterns so given the Uptrend move prior to the formation of the pattern, we can suspect Price to Continue Higher after a Bullish Break of the Falling Resistance! The Retracement or Pullback to the 50% Fibonacci Level while Price is in the Consolidation State of the Pattern typically suggests the Pullback has ended. The 50% Fibonacci Level or .000016697 sits right in the middle of the Support Zone established by the May Highs. The Last Low @ .000017309 just missed the May High @ .000017223 and the 50% Fibonacci Level, so with Price still trapped by the Falling Resistance, we could see more Downside for CRYPTO:PEPEUSD before getting the Confirmation of Pattern with the Bullish Break!! Based off the Extension from the Lower Low @ .000007718 to the Higher High @ 000025676 giving us a .000017958 or 232.68% Increase, we can derive that a .000038 Potential Target with a Valid Bullish Break is possible! Indicators: - Price Trading Above 200 EMA - RSI Above 50 - BBTrend Printing Green Bars - DSR Aligning with 50% Level
