[ STRATEGY SCHEMA ]
[ MARKET LOGIC ]
Markets tend to oscillate around an average value. When RSI reaches extreme values (< 30 or > 70) at a significant technical level, the market is statistically 'exhausted' in that direction. The confluence between indicator extreme and technical level creates high-probability bounce zones.
PROS
Higher win rate compared to trend following
Low-risk entry with well-defined stop
Works well in markets with a defined range
RSI is available on any platform
CONS
Dangerous against strong trends: 'catch a falling knife'
In very strong trends, RSI can remain oversold for a long time
Naturally lower R/R than trend following
What are the setup conditions for RSI Extremes + Support?
1
Identify a key support level (at least 2-3 previous touches)2
Wait for price to reach that level3
RSI must be < 30 (oversold) at that moment — perfect confluence4
A bullish confirmation candle forms (Hammer, Pin Bar, Bullish Engulfing)5
Optional: RSI forms a Bullish Divergence at the support levelWhich filters improve the quality of the signal?
Do not use in a strong structural downtrend on the higher timeframe — you might be trading a bounce in a bear market
Sideways market or slight uptrend: ideal. Aggressive downtrend: avoid
Volume must increase on the confirmation candle
Avoid during high-impact news
