It is most useful as a momentum tool, not an automatic buy signal below 30 or sell signal above 70.<\/p>\n<h2>Trend and Range Behavior<\/h2>\n<p>During a strong uptrend, RSI can remain overbought while price continues higher. In a downtrend, it can remain oversold. Countertrend entries require evidence that structure is actually changing.<\/p>\n<p>In ranges, RSI extremes may help identify rotation near established boundaries. In trends, the 40-50 or 50-60 zones can act as momentum support or resistance.<\/p>\n<h2>Divergence<\/h2>\n<p>Bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low. Bearish divergence is the reverse. Divergence warns of weakening momentum but does not time an entry by itself.<\/p>\n<p>Combine divergence with a liquidity sweep, support or resistance, and a confirmed break of lower-timeframe structure.<\/p>\n<h2>Practical Checklist<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify trend before reading extremes.<\/li>\n<li>Treat divergence as a warning.<\/li>\n<li>Wait for price confirmation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"fxp-risk-note\"><strong>Risk note:<\/strong> Educational content does not guarantee trading results.
