    On http://www.learncurrencytrading.com/...ead.php?t=2263 is a Talk on RSI. Not just a new subject, but one to remember nonetheless, because the way RSI should be used -- no, the way technical indior should be used -- has to do with plogy and what others are doing rather than math.

    The figures in RSI are unworthy. What is important is the relationship between RSI and price. For example, from the chart below, we see EURGBP in an ascending triangle. Notice RSI it's falling. Prices are climbing, and RSI is decreasing; this phenomenon, known as RSI divergence, frequently precedes a change in the trend. It suggests that the current price trend lacks the strength required to sustain it.

    At a situation similar to this one where we have conflicting indiors -- directional triangle suggests upwards price movement, although RSI divergence suggests otherwise -- it is often better to look at a broader timeframe (which you should do anyway). The EURGBP dailies, for example, show a symmetrical triangle with no RSI divergence. Contemplate:

    So based on that, it appears like EURGBP may be inclined to break upwards.

    However more importantly, what do you believe? Can RSI have any value outside of being able to identify minutes of divergence? Can I target with this article, or does this make you believe I've been hitting the crack pipe a little too hard?
