The RSI Multi Time Frame indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify confluence across multiple timeframes by tracking Relative Strength Index (RSI) levels on the current, 4-hour, and Daily charts simultaneously. It aims to pinpoint high-probability reversal zones by highlighting moments where all three timeframes reach extreme overbought or oversold conditions.

Usage

The indicator can be used to identify "triple" exhaustion points in the market. When the current timeframe RSI, the 4-hour RSI, and the Daily RSI all cross below the user-defined lower threshold, the chart background is highlighted with a green bar. This typically indicates a panic sell moment or an "oversold" confluence that may precede a price bounce.

Conversely, when all three RSI values exceed the upper threshold, a red background highlight appears, indicating strong FOMO or overbought conditions. Users are encouraged to adjust the threshold levels (defaulted to 30 and 70) to fit specific assets, particularly in the cryptocurrency market where volatility may require tighter or wider bounds to minimize false positives.

Details

The script utilizes the request.security() function to fetch RSI data from the 240-minute (4h) and Daily (D) intervals, while calculating the local RSI based on the chart's active timeframe. By combining these three perspectives, the indicator filters out noise from lower timeframes and only signals when the broader trend and immediate momentum are in sync.

The logic follows a simple "AND" condition:

  • Triple Oversold: (Current RSI < Lower Band) AND (4h RSI < Lower Band) AND (Daily RSI < Lower Band)
  • Triple Overbought: (Current RSI > Upper Band) AND (4h RSI > Upper Band) AND (Daily RSI > Upper Band)

Settings

  • Length: Determines the lookback period for the RSI calculation on all timeframes (default is 14).
  • Evidenzia Oversold & Overbought?: A toggle to enable or disable the background color highlights when triple confluence occurs.
  • Upper band: The threshold level for overbought conditions (default is 70).
  • Lower band: The threshold level for oversold conditions (default is 30).

FAQ

How do I interpret the background highlights?

A green background highlight indicates that the RSI on the current timeframe, the 4-hour timeframe, and the Daily timeframe are all simultaneously below the lower band. A red highlight indicates they are all above the upper band.

Can I use this on assets other than Cryptocurrencies?

While originally designed with crypto markets in mind due to their tendency to recover quickly from oversold states, the indicator can be applied to any asset class provided the thresholds are adjusted to suit the asset's specific volatility.
