In education
Welcome to the Chart Decoder series. Here we categorize the world of technical analysis into tools that use it in practice.
Previous entries featured movement averages and MACD. This is great for identifying trends and momentum. Now, let’s take a look rsia tool that many traders use to measure trades with better confidence.
What is RSI?
RSI represents the relative strength index. It will help you see if the coin has been oversold recently and may be ready to turn it around.
It is plotted as a line moving between 0 and 100. Most traders use it in the 14th term setting. Depending on the time frame of the chart, this could mean 14 days, 14 hours, or 14 minutes.
Unlike indicators that run for price, RSI doesn’t just track where prices are. That’s what I say to you How extreme is the recent trading pressure?. This way you can see if the market is about to turn over before you actually do it.
How to read it:

- Over 70 RSIs =Overbuy → Market may need to be corrected
- RSIs under 30 = Too Sold → Market may be paid for bounce
- RSI between 40 and 60 =Neutral → No strong signal
Examples of behavior:
RSI (purple panel): Acquired alerts
- RSI sits on top 70Signaling Classic Conditions for purchasing too much.
- This suggests that Bitcoin’s recent bullish run is possible Lose steam Or you’re approaching a natural correction.
What Traders Are Seeing:
- RSI is back Less than 70 This could mean that the pullback has begun.
- If BTC remains strong, RSI could continue to buy too much. This is a powerful uptrend and common behavior, and a risky zone for late buyers.
To improve accuracy, use RSI along with MACD, move the average and make more informed decisions.
Macd: I’m bullish, but will the momentum slow down?
- MACD Line (Blue): 4,142
- Signal line (orange): 3,536
- histogram: Positive, but it’s starting to flatten and hints at it The momentum is slowing down.
The MACD remains bullish with blue lines comfortable and comfortable above the orange, but be aware of its histogram. If these bars begin to shrink, it is often the first clue that bullish momentum is declining.
Moving Average: Is BTC overexpanded?
- 50 Day EMA (Yellow Line): 92,570
- 200 Day SMA (Blue Line): 91,673
BTC is well above both of these important moving averages, confirming the current uptrend strength.
But this also raises the flag: Is the market growing too much?
If the price is too far from these averages, Healthy correction It often continues and reverts the price 50 EMAthe level that many traders consider dynamic support in bull markets.
Final takeout: Do you need to act now or wait?
- Current trends: It is strong and bullish, but potentially overexpanded.
- RSI: In the area acquired, beware.
- MACD: It’s still bullish, but it shows early signs of slowing momentum.
- strategy:
- If you already have profits, this is the perfect time to consider Secure profit Or tighten the stop loss.
- If you’re waiting to enter, look at a 50 Pullback towards EMA For stronger, lower risk entry points.
Pro Tips for Using RSI Like a Pro
