What is RSI indicator?
RSI (Relative Strength Index) is an indicator that measures the degree of price change. It is able to estimate the overbought or oversold of a currency pair.
Price trends determine the direction of RSI indicator. When the price falls, RSI decreases. When the price tends to rise, RSI increases.
RSI indicator – how does it work?
Set up RSI indicator in IQ Option
To create an RSI indicator: (1) Click on the indicator box => (2) Momentum tab => (3) Select Relative Strength Index.
The basic color setting of RSI in IQ Option is purple. The green horizontal line (70) is the overbought zone. On the other hand, the red line (30) is the oversold zone.
How to use RSI indicator
RSI indicator cuts the overbought or oversold
Normally, RSI indicator moves in the corridor from 30 (red) to 70 (green). And when it goes beyond this corridor, there is a high possibility that the price will temporarily reverse. This is an important signal for you to open a trade. For example,
• When RSI is moving above 70 but then returns and cut 70 (purple line crosses the green line) => open a LOWER option.
• When RSI is moving below 30 then returns and hit 30 (purple line cuts the red line) => Open a HIGHER option.
RSI divergence
RSI divergence is the phenomenon of RSI moving against the price. It means that the price goes up but the RSI is down. Or vice versa, the price goes down but the RSI is up.
Specific example:
Price is on a downward trend, but the RSI moves up. This is considered a divergence. => It signs a trend reversal, from downtrend to uptrend.
On the contrary, the trend is upward but the RSI falls => RSI divergence => The market will reverse from uptrend to downtrend.
