RSI (Relative Strength Index)
RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of price movements on a scale of 0 to 100. It helps identify potential reversal points when an asset is oversold or overbought.
Asset may be undervalued. Potential buying opportunity, but confirm with other indicators.
Normal trading range. No strong buy or sell signals from RSI alone.
Asset may be overvalued. Potential selling opportunity or trend reversal coming.
How RSI is Calculated
RSI uses the average gains and losses over 14 periods (candles) to calculate momentum. We use Wilder's smoothing method for more accurate results.
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Average Gain / Average Loss
CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta)
CVD shows the net buying vs selling pressure over the last 14 candles, displayed as a 14-bar history chart. It measures the difference between aggressive buyers (market buy orders) and sellers (market sell orders). Green bars indicate buying pressure, red bars show selling pressure.
More market buy orders
Indicates bullish pressure. Aggressive buyers are entering the market, pushing prices up.
More market sell orders
Indicates bearish pressure. Aggressive sellers are exiting the market, pushing prices down.
14-Bar History Chart
The 14-bar chart visualizes CVD trend over time - green bars above the center line show net buying, red bars below show net selling.
Why Our CVD is More Accurate
Other platforms (like TradingView) often use a simplified approach: green candle = buying, red candle = selling. This is inaccurate!
RSI Monitor uses actual taker order flow data from Binance, giving you the real buying/selling pressure.
Real Example:
A green candle (price went up) might actually have more selling pressure!
TradingView says: +1.3M buying
Actual taker data: -112K (more sells)
What is a "Taker"?
In trading, every trade has two sides: a maker and a taker. Understanding this helps you interpret CVD data correctly.
Maker (Passive)
- • Places limit orders that sit in the order book
- • "Makes" liquidity by adding orders
- • Waits for someone else to match their order
- • Example: "I want to buy BTC at $90,000" (order waits)
Taker (Aggressive)
- • Places market orders that execute immediately
- • "Takes" liquidity from the order book
- • Matches against existing limit orders
- • Example: "Buy BTC now at any price!" (instant)
Why Takers Show True Market Sentiment
Takers are aggressive traders who want immediate execution. When taker buy volume exceeds taker sell volume, it shows real bullish sentiment - people are willing to pay the ask price to get in NOW.
Timeframes Explained
RSI Monitor tracks three timeframes to give you both short-term and long-term perspectives.
Short-term momentum. Good for day trading and catching quick reversals. More signals, but also more noise.
Medium-term momentum. Balances signal quality with frequency. Popular for swing trading.
Long-term momentum. Fewer but more significant signals. Best for position trading and major trend changes.
Pro Tip: Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The most reliable signals occur when multiple timeframes align. For example, if 1H, 4H, and 1D are all oversold, it's a stronger signal than just one timeframe.
Alert System
RSI Monitor sends you alerts when cryptocurrencies reach important RSI levels. Never miss a potential trading opportunity.
Triggered when RSI drops below your threshold (default: 30)
Triggered when RSI rises above your threshold (default: 70)
Triggered when RSI crosses above 50 (bullish momentum shift)
Triggered when RSI crosses below 50 (bearish momentum shift)
Notification Channels
Volume & Momentum Alerts
Get notified when unusual volume activity occurs, often preceding significant price moves.
Triggered when volume exceeds your threshold (e.g., 200% above average)
Detected when sustained high volume occurs over multiple candles
Price falling but CVD rising - potential reversal signal
Price rising but CVD falling - potential reversal signal
Combined Alerts
Most powerful signals combine volume spikes with RSI extremes:

Smart Money Detection
Detects directional anomalies — moments when volume, CVD, and RSI together suggest buying pressure on weakness (IN) or selling pressure on strength (OUT). Operates on the 4H and 1D timeframes only.
Buyers stepping in on a volume spike while RSI is below 45 — interpreted as accumulation. Prediction: price will go UP.
Sellers exiting on a volume spike while RSI is above 55 — interpreted as distribution. Prediction: price will go DOWN.
Detection Conditions
- • Volume spike: candle's $-volume ≥150% above the trailing 20-period average AND ≥$1M USDT.
- • Directional pressure: |CVD%| ≥10% (clear one-sided flow, not balanced churn). Sign determines IN vs OUT.
- • RSI context: <45 for IN signals, >55 for OUT signals — pairs the CVD direction with where the asset is in its momentum cycle.
Signal Tracking
After detection, the system tracks price for 60 candles (4H ≈ 10 days, 1D ≈ 60 days) from the original detection moment. The tracking window is immutable — additional signals on the same coin do not extend it. Outcomes are classified as success (price crossed the success threshold in the predicted direction), invalidated (price moved 10% against the prediction — early failure), or expired (window elapsed without resolution).
