Features of the RSI Divergence Indicator
An RSI divergence indicator alerts traders when price action and the RSI indicator no longer reflect the same momentum. Relative Strength Index, or RSI, is a momentum indicator that assesses price movement to determine if the market is overbought or oversold.
It’s in a range of 0 to 100. A decline below 30 on the Relative Strength Index indicates an oversold state in the market. A reading of 70 or higher on the Index suggests that the market is overbought. The main problem with using an indicator is that there aren’t enough signals. It is rare for this indicator to approach the overbought and oversold positions.
You require divergence from the conventional indicator to overcome this issue. When a market pulls back, divergence can help you predict when it will likely restart its trend. It can only help predict reversals.
This indicator appears in a separate window at the bottom of the chart. It appears in the form of a green line graph. The indicator draws a blue line and arrow to represent a bullish divergence and a red line and arrow to represent a bearish divergence.
How the Indicator Can Benefit You
When the RSI indicator is oversold, a bullish divergence appears, followed by a higher low that lines up with lower lows in the price movement. This represents a buy signal anticipating a trend reversal to the bullish side. A bearish divergence occurs when the relative strength index indicator is overbought, followed by a lower high corresponding to higher highs in the price movement. This represents a sell signal anticipating a trend reversal to the bearish side.
