It outputs a value between <strong>0 and 100<\/strong> to indicate whether an asset is potentially overbought or oversold.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Levels:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Above 70:<\/strong> Overbought (price may reverse down)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Below 30:<\/strong> Oversold (price may reverse up)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Think of RSI as a &#8220;market thermometer&#8221; \u2014 it tells you when conditions are getting too hot or too cold.<\/p>\n<h2>How RSI is Calculated (Simplified)<\/h2>\n<p>RSI compares recent gains to recent losses over a set period (default is 14 periods).<\/p>\n<p><em>No need to calculate manually \u2014 every charting tool like TradingView or LogicINV provides it automatically.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>How to Use RSI Effectively<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Spot Overbought and Oversold Conditions<\/h3>\n<p>When RSI crosses above 70, it suggests the asset might be overbought. When it drops below 30, it could be oversold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But caution:<\/strong> These are signals to watch for a reversal \u2014 not automatic buy or sell orders.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Look for RSI Divergence<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Divergence<\/strong> happens when price moves in one direction but RSI moves in the opposite.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bullish Divergence:<\/strong> Price makes lower lows, RSI makes higher lows \u279e Potential upward reversal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bearish Divergence:<\/strong> Price makes higher highs, RSI makes lower highs \u279e Potential downward reversal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- Insert Chart Example Highlighting RSI Divergence --><\/p>\n<h3>3. Use RSI with Support &#038; Resistance<\/h3>\n<p>RSI works best when combined with key price levels. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>RSI < 30 <strong>AND<\/strong> price hits strong support \u279e Higher chance of a bounce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Best Practices for RSI<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t trade based on RSI alone \u2014 always confirm with other indicators or price action.<\/li>\n<li>Adjust RSI period settings for different assets (e.g., crypto may benefit from a 7 or 10 period).<\/li>\n<li>RSI is more reliable in <strong>ranging markets<\/strong> than strong trending markets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Example: RSI in Action<\/h2>\n<p>In this example, notice how RSI signaled oversold conditions right as price approached a key support zone \u2014 followed by a strong bounce.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Insert Annotated RSI Trade Example Chart --><\/p>\n<h2>How LogicINV AI Enhances RSI Signals<\/h2>\n<p><strong>LogicINV AI<\/strong> doesn\u2019t just alert you when RSI hits 70 or 30.
