Building Keltner Channels from RSI Candles

Summary

This indicator transforms open, high, low, and close prices into corresponding RSI values, creating a candle series in RSI space. It then calculates an ATR-like range from the RSI high, low, and close values rather than from market prices. A Keltner channel is drawn around these RSI candles, with its middle line based on the average of RSI open, high, low, and close.

The suggested interpretation is to treat breaks of the channel as a short-term indication of volatility or momentum, since RSI is itself a momentum indicator. The document explains the construction and intended reading but supplies no parameters, chart examples, backtest, or evidence that channel breaks predict profitable trades. It therefore describes an indicator concept rather than a validated entry or exit system; users would need to evaluate signals and risk controls on their own data.

Key ideas

• The indicator constructs candles from RSI values calculated for each OHLC price.
• Its ATR-like range uses RSI highs, lows, and closes instead of price data.
• The Keltner middle line uses the average of the RSI candle's four values.
• Channel breaks are proposed as short-term volatility or momentum cues, without performance evidence.
