Today's RSI chart is quite misleading.As discussed in this forum earlier,in strong
TRENDING markets often RSI fails.
here's what my scalping/scavenger/hungry/(whatever u call it) eyes saw & i traded:
once u know how RSI is calculated & how & when it works, u can make it your friend & guide while trading...
ofcourse, u need a lot of screen trading experience for it....
one more thing, that white line in RSI chart (exponential moving average of RSI calculated using prev 9 bars) - i don't prefer using such moving averages in RSI....
RSI presents us scalpers/traders volatility opportunity - why to smoothen it out
and i dont think it was misleading - it had reached 50 (neutral zone) and momentum was already building up; so nifty could move up a bit more...
as is case with every other indicator, ONE HAS TO MAKE & TAKE IT AS YOUR FRIEND -AND USE IT TO YOUR TRADING (entry and/or exit) ADVANTAGE...
RSI to me is not just "Relative Strength Index" but more than a "Real 'SUPPORTING' Indicator"
(just remember to complement with a KNOWN support/resistance level, and in proven bearish conditions have more faith in +70/75 levels - for shorting - rather than in sub 30 levels - for going long; vice versa, in bullish rallies)
one more thing, u can say it was a "strong trending market" only when u r over with it and see the complete picture - it's not easy to decide that while in actual trade & trying to predict the right isde of the chart..
