RSI Swing Failure Trade Setup

RSI swing failure can be a very accurate method for trading short term moves. It also can be used for trading longterm trends but it's best suited for shortterm trading especially for those traders that trade reversals.

RSI swing failure swing setup is a confirmation of a pending market reversal. This swing failure setups a leading break-out signal, it warns that a support or resistance level in the market is going to be penetrated. This setup should occur at values above 70 for an upward trend & values below 30 in a downwards trend.

Swing Failure In an Upwards Trend

If the RSI Indicator touches 79 then pulls back to 72, then rises to 76 and finally drops to below 72 this is regarded a failure swing RSI setup. Since the 72 level is an RSI support level & it has been penetrated it means that price will and follow & it will penetrate its support zone.

In the example below, the RSI indicator touches 73 then pulls back to 56, this is a support level. The indicator then rises to 68 and then drops to below 56, thus breaking the support zone. The price then follows afterwards breaking it support level. The RSI swing failure is a leading signal and it is confirmed when price also breaks it support zone. Some traders open trades once the swing failure is complete while other traders wait for price confirmation, either way it's for a forex trader to decide what work best for them.
