RSI Candles Highlight Overbought and Oversold Threshold Crossings

Summary

The document describes an indicator that applies the Relative Strength Index calculation to a price time series and displays the resulting values as candlesticks. Its purpose is to show RSI movement in a candle format, which the author suggests may make some analysis more informative. Candle colors emphasize encounters with overbought and oversold levels: growing candles that extend above the overbought threshold, or cross or touch the oversold threshold from above, are colored dark blue. Falling candles meeting the corresponding opposite conditions are bright red; other candles are pale.

This is a visualization of RSI behavior, not a complete trading strategy. The description does not state the RSI period, threshold values, or rules for entering and exiting positions. It provides no examples, comparative analysis, or performance evidence to show that the candle display improves decisions. Traders would need to supply their own settings and determine how the colored signals fit with broader analysis and risk controls.

Key ideas

• The indicator renders RSI values as candlesticks derived from a price time series.
• Dark blue highlights specified threshold interactions on rising candles.
• Bright red marks corresponding threshold interactions on falling candles, while other bars remain pale.
• The document does not specify RSI settings or provide trading rules or performance evidence.
