Trading Financial market using RSI
RSI is an oscillator indicator which was created by J.Welles Wilder. Being an oscillator indicator, RSI ranges between 0 to 100.Since RSI is an oscillator indicator, it is therefore based on overbought and oversold of the market as well as divergence. By RSI being divergence, it means that when the RSI is moving downwards while the market is moving upwards, the RSI will reverse and start moving upwards in the same direction as the market. On the other hand, oversold of the is a situation in the market where there is excess of sells thus causing the market not to be able to accommodate any more sells position thus resulting to a buy reversal market while overbought of the market is a situation in the market where there is excess of buys thus causing the market not to be able to accomodate any more buy position thus resulting to a sell reversal market. Since RSI ranges between 0 to 100 , it therefore follows that the buy and sell signals will occur when RSI rises above 70 or it falls below 30. Therefore, based on divergence we can interpret the market as follows; When the market is in an upward trend while the RSI is moving downwards, the RSI will reverse and start moving upwards in the same direction as the market thus signaling the trader to close a sell position and open a buy position. This is indicated as from the candlesticks chart below;
From the candlesticks chart above, at point A which is along the RSI, the RSI was moving downwards while the market was moving upwards. The RSI then reverse and start moving upwards in the same direction as the market. This is indicated by the long arrow along the RSI. Based on oversold and overbought we can interpret the market as follows;
oversold market
For oversold market, the RSI will fall below 30. This will signal the trader to close any sell position and open a buy position since the market start an upward trend. This is indicated as from the candle stickschart below;
