Crypto RSI Oscillator [marksc]

27 May 2021

This is my main indicator of pricing trend reversals.

It consists of two main indicators:
1. The green/red oscillator shows a general rising (green) or falling (red) price trend over a smoothed average of a number of periods (length).
2. The yellow "OverUnder Line" shows the Relative Strength Index adjusted price trend in real time.

How to use it:
- You will need to adjust the Overbought and Underbought (green and red) horizontal lines such that the yellow line rarely peaks past them. This will depend on historical data and the time-scale you're using. So if you configure it on a 15minute timescale and then switch to hourly the lines will need-readjusted. This is because the yellow line's movement is "Relative" to a number of periods of time in the timescale.

Predicting Pricing Reversals:

• Adjust the Overbought and Underbought lines such that, in the past, the yellow line has rarely peaked over or under them.
  
• When the yellow line peaks over or under one of the Over/Underbought lines again the price will likely make a strong reversal.
  

(Conversely, if the yellow line is not peaking but staying mostly flat or only slightly angled then the pricing trend is likely to continue.)

Predicting "Pump and Dumps":
If the price makes a sharp reversal while the yellow line was far from the over/underbought lines (ie. the yellow line was near the center), this indicates that a larger purchase or sale than has happened in a long time just happened. In most cases the price will quickly correct back to where it was because this sharp price reversal was was abnormal over the length*period used in the RSI calculation.
