Hello, Traders!
There are moments when the best trade is no trade at all, even when an indicator appears to give us a signal.
1. Don’t Enter Just Because RSI Is Overbought or Oversold
One of the most common mistakes traders make is assuming:
RSI above 70 = SELL
RSI below 30 = BUY
But the reality is not that simple.
When the market is in a strong trend, RSI can stay overbought or oversold for an extended period, while price continues moving strongly in the same direction.
So, if RSI enters the oversold zone, that doesn’t automatically mean price will reverse upward.
2. Wait for Confirmation
Instead of entering immediately, look for additional confirmation from:
Price action
Market structure
Support & resistance
Reversal patterns
Break of structure
A clear trade setup
The Gold chart above is a good example of this. RSI moved into the oversold zone, but price continued moving lower instead of immediately reversing.
Key Takeaway
RSI is a confirmation tool, not a standalone entry signal.
Don’t trade simply because RSI reaches an extreme level.
Wait for the market to confirm your idea first.
