RSI & MACD: Enhancing Technical Analysis with AI

Technical Analysis (TA) is the bread and butter of trading. But traditional indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index) and MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) are notorious for giving false signals in crypto.

The Trap of Standard Indicators

Relative Strength Index (RSI)

  • Theory: Buy when RSI < 30 (Oversold), Sell when RSI > 70 (Overbought).
  • Reality: In a strong bull run, RSI can stay "Overbought" (>70) for weeks. Selling too early means missing mainly gains.

MACD

  • Theory: Buy when the MACD line crosses above the Signal line.
  • Reality: In a ranging market, these crossovers happen constantly, leading to "whipsaw" losses.

The AI Advantage: Context Awareness

TradingMaster AI doesn't just look at the number; it looks at the context.

  1. Multi-Timeframe Analysis: The AI checks if the RSI is overbought on the 15-minute chart BUT oversold on the 4-hour chart. It prioritizes the higher timeframe trend.

  2. Volume Confirmation: A MACD cross with low volume is ignored. A cross with high volume is a valid entry.

  3. Adaptive Thresholds: In a strong uptrend, the AI might adjust the "Oversold" RSI threshold from 30 up to 40, knowing that price is unlikely to dip too deep.

Putting It Into Practice

Let the AI handle the complex math while you handle the strategy.
