RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a classic technical analysis tool designed to measure the relative strength of market buying and selling forces, helping traders assess trends and potential turning points. In short time frames like 5 minutes, RSI can quickly respond to market fluctuations, making it particularly suitable for capturing short-term trading opportunities and aiding traders in making swift decisions. The value ranges from 0 to 100, and it is easy to understand and suitable for traders of different levels when combined with the boundaries of overbought (e.g., above 70) and oversold (e.g., below 30). RSI is applicable in stock, forex, futures, and cryptocurrency markets, demonstrating good universality.

1. RSI Signals: The Logic of Overbought and Oversold

1. Understanding Overbought and Oversold

When the RSI index exceeds 70, the market is in an overbought state, which may indicate that upward momentum is nearing exhaustion, posing a risk of correction or reversal; when it is below 30, the market is in an oversold state, which may signal a buying opportunity.

2. The Connection Between Overbought and Trend Peaks

Overbought signals typically reflect current market overheating, which may stem from excessive optimism or short-term trading overload. Traders can pay attention to these signals to identify potential selling points.

3. The Connection Between Oversold and Trend Bottoms

Oversold signals indicate that the market may be experiencing excessive pessimism, which could also present potential rebound opportunities. For short-term traders, this is a crucial moment to capture profits.

4. Performance in Short Time Frames

In short time frames like 5 minutes, overbought and oversold signals can provide higher sensitivity, helping to capture micro trading opportunities.

In this custom indicator, the relevant overbought and oversold parameters are as follows:

Overbought: 70

Oversold: 10
