RSI Mirrors and Reflections

RSI Mirrors and Reflections is a robust technique using multiple RSI periods, mirrors and reflections based on RSI values to indicate the strength of price movements and reversals. Three upward and three downward RSI reflections are calculated: separation and divergence of the RSI reflections indicates a strong vs weak upcoming price movement (please see screenshots) and crossover of long-term vs short-term RSI lines is a confirmation of trend. Mirrors (lines) above and below the plot can be used in conjunction with reflections (filled bars) to track the strength of a price movement and when they are fading.

As shown in the screenshots below, RSI Mirrors and Reflections can be used to identify strong price movements, track the trend and avoid premature exit which would be tempting if only using candlesticks or more limited indicators. In addition to its stand-alone use, this extremely flexible indicator can be used to supplement trading strategies in any timeframes and assets. This pairs well with MACD and moving averages.
