RSI Pivot Trend Lines for Support, Resistance, and Breakout Analysis
Summary
Wing’s indicator builds angled support and resistance lines from prior price highs and lows that coincide with RSI extremes. It tracks recent pivot points, then draws up to six resistance lines and six support lines by connecting pairs of stored pivots. Users can adjust the RSI lookback scale and the number of displayed lines; reducing the display count favors more recent structures. The author proposes interpreting approaches to a line as possible mean-reversion opportunities and crossings as possible breakouts.
The document presents this as a manual charting aid that could also be incorporated into a strategy, not as a tested system. It warns that suitability varies by instrument and timeframe, that loading a large history can be slow, and that lines are not projected into the future. The description also notes abrupt visual changes when the detected trend switches. No results or validation are supplied, so the bounce and breakout interpretations remain hypotheses requiring independent testing.
Key ideas
- The indicator identifies candidate pivots using RSI extremes together with local price highs or lows.
- It connects stored pivots to create angled support and resistance lines.
- Users can adjust pivot scale and the number of visible lines, with fewer lines emphasizing recent trends.
- The proposed interpretations are mean reversion at a line or breakout through it.
- Instrument and timeframe suitability varies, and the document provides no performance evidence.
