RSI Swing Failure Setup

RSI Index swing failure can serve as an effective strategy for capturing short-term index movements. While it can also apply to long-term trends, it is particularly suitable for short-term focused traders, especially those engaging in reversal trades.

The RSI swing failure setup shows that the market price is likely about to change direction. These index swing failure setups give an early signal of a breakout, warning that a support or resistance level in the market will be broken through. This index setup should happen when values are over 70 for an upward trend, and under 30 for a downward trend.

Swing Failure In an Upward Trend

If the Indices RSI Indicator touches 79 then pulls back to 72, then rises to 76 and finally drops to below 72 this is considered a failure swing RSI setup. Since the 72 level is an RSI support level & it has been penetrated it means price will & follow & it will penetrate its support level.

In the visual example presented hereunder, the Indices RSI technical indicator reaches a reading of 73 before pulling back to the 56 mark, establishing a support level. Subsequently, the indicator moves up to 68, only to decline below 56, thereby breaching that established support. Shortly thereafter, the underlying price mirrors this action by breaking its own support level. This Indices RSI swing failure acts as an early warning signal for Stock Indices, confirmed when the price concurrently violates its support. While some traders initiate positions immediately upon the completion of the swing failure, others in Index trading opt to await corresponding price confirmation: ultimately, the timing decision rests with the individual trader's preference.

Swing Failure In a Downwards Trend

If the Indices RSI Technical Indicator goes down to 20, then goes up to 28, then drops to 24, and then goes above 28, this is seen as a failure swing setup. Since the 28 level is an RSI resistance level and the price has moved above it, this means the price will follow and move past its resistance level.
