Been getting a lot of questions about RSI 14 lately, so figured I'd break down what it actually means and how I use it in my daily trading.



Basically, RSI 14 means you're looking at a 14-period momentum indicator that bounces between 0 and 100. The magic happens at the extremes. When it climbs above 70, that's your overbought signal—price has been pushed too hard in one direction and usually pulls back. Below 30? That's oversold territory, which often precedes a bounce.

The 50 line is your equilibrium point. I treat it like a tug-of-war marker. Above 50 shows bullish momentum, below shows bearish pressure. Pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it.

Now here's the thing everyone gets wrong: RSI 14 means nothing in isolation. I've seen too many traders rely on it solo and get wrecked. You need to combine it with other tools—moving averages, trend lines, support/resistance levels. That's when the real edge shows up.

I usually watch RSI 14 on multiple timeframes. A daily oversold on BTC or BNB might look different than what the 4-hour is telling you. The divergences between price and RSI can be goldmines if you know what to look for.
