Ultimate RSI - Divergence + S/R + Reverse RSI
Aug 13, 2022

The Ultimate RSI indicator is a comprehensive momentum tool that enhances the standard Relative Strength Index with automated divergence detection, dynamic support and resistance levels, and predictive price modeling. This tool helps traders identify potential reversals and key rejection zones by combining traditional RSI analysis with advanced technical overlays.
Usage
The indicator can be used to spot trend exhaustion and potential entry points through several distinct features:
- Divergences: Automatically identifies Regular and Hidden bullish/bearish divergences between price and RSI momentum. Users can choose to display these as labels or connected lines.
- Support & Resistance: Plots horizontal zones based on historical RSI pivot points, helping to identify overextended levels where price has historically reacted.
- Price Prediction Panel: Utilizes a reverse RSI calculation to estimate what the price would need to be to reach specific RSI targets (e.g., 70, 50, 30). This is particularly useful for setting take-profit or stop-loss orders based on momentum thresholds.
- Trend Confirmation: The integrated Moving Average changes color based on the trend direction, providing a secondary filter for RSI signals.
Details
The script offers two calculation methods: "Wilder" (the standard smoothed approach) and "Cutler" (based on simple moving averages). The "Price Prediction" feature uses an algebraic reversal of the RSI formula, allowing traders to see the exact price level required to hit overbought or oversold conditions on the current bar. The divergence engine allows for customization of the lookback period and threshold sensitivities to filter out market noise.

RSI Divergences
- Divergence Source: Choose to detect divergences based on RSI peaks or Price peaks.
- Pivot Settings: Adjust left and right bars to define the strength of high/low pivots.
- Thresholds: Fine-tune the sensitivity for price and RSI changes to validate a divergence.
Support/Resistance Lines
- Lookback/Touch Points: Define how many historical points are required to form a support or resistance line.
FAQ
- How do I interpret the Price Prediction panel? The panel shows the specific price targets required for the RSI to reach the three user-defined levels (e.g., 70, 50, 30).
- Can I use this for intraday scalping? Yes, by adjusting the Pivot Bars and RSI Length, the indicator can be tuned for lower timeframes to find quick momentum shifts.
