RSI + MFI - Crypto Bull and Bear market
Sep 8, 2020

The RSI + MFI - Crypto Bull and Bear market indicator provides a stylized combination of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Money Flow Index (MFI) to identify potential buy and sell opportunities within cryptocurrency markets.
Usage
The Usage section describes how the script can be used to gauge market momentum and identify potential trend reversals.
- Trend Identification: The indicator features specific bands at the 80 and 20 levels designed to identify extreme bull or bear market conditions.
- Crossovers: Circles appear on the oscillator pane whenever the RSI and MFI cross. A crossover of the RSI above the MFI (plotted at the bottom) or a crossunder (plotted at the top) can signal changes in market momentum.
- Visual Backgrounds: The oscillator lines change color based on their position relative to the 30, 50, and 70 levels, providing a quick visual reference for overbought or oversold conditions.
- Oscillator Spread: The area between the RSI and MFI is filled with color (Green or Red) based on the difference between the two values, helping traders visualize which oscillator is leading.
This tool is specifically optimized for Daily (D) timeframes in the crypto markets.
Details
The indicator calculates a standard RMA-based RSI and a traditional Money Flow Index. By overlaying these two distinct types of oscillators—one based solely on price (RSI) and the other incorporating volume (MFI)—traders can look for convergences or divergences between price action and capital flow. The script uses stylized fills and shape plots to highlight these interactions.
