The Stochastics RSI indicator is used in technical analysis and provides a stochastic calculation of the RSI
(Relative Strength Index) which is another momentum based indicator. The main difference here being that,
the Stochastics RSI measures the RSI, relative to its RSI’s high and low range over the specified period of
time.
What’s the main point? Stoch RSI measures momentum + overbought or oversold. Period.
Stoch RSI is like RSI on steroids. RSI produces relatively fewer signals and StochRSI dramatically increases the
signal count. There will be more overbought/oversold readings, more centerline crosses, more good signals
and more bad signals. Speed comes at a price. This means it is important to use StochRSI with other aspects
of technical analysis for confirmation.

*Please note on page 2 (above) we used the daily chart. Below we will show a weekly chart, so you can
see the difference. Remember, the Stoch RSI shows many signals, many more than the RSI. That’s why
zooming out to the weekly is sometimes helpful to see the bigger picture.
**In the above daily, you can see the Stoch RSI at the bottom and you can also see two white lines. The top
white line is to show the tops of the momentum or overbought. This does NOT mean price will drop, it’s
simply a sign as it could stay at these overbought levels for weeks, same goes for the bottom line, which
represents oversold.
Similar to the Stochastics oscillator, the Stochastics RSI also comes with similar parameters in addition to the
RSI setting. Therefore the values are generally, 14 periods RSI, 14 period look back of the RSI and 3 period
SMA. It is commonly referred to as the 14, 14, 3, 3 setting.
Overbought and Oversold levels: A Stochastic RSI reading above 0.80 is considered to be overbought, while
the indicator reading below 0.20 is considered to be oversold.

Stochastic RSI – Key Points DEMO 6. Entire moves (from bottom to top or top to
bottom) are around 5-45 days on a 1 day chart.
1. Watch for cross overs when the blue line crosses (Cycles)
through the red, which signals a reversal. Pay 7. It is said the move is not official before it crosses
attention to time frames to determine if it is a up through the 20 (from bottom) and crosses
substantial reversal. down through the 80 (from top)
2. Watch for time spent at or very close to 100 or 8. Blue line on top = uptrend
at or very close to 0 – could be up to 8-15 days 9. Blue line on bottom = down trend
without a pullback. (1 day charts) 10. When consistently above 50 = uptrend
3. It is rare that any crypto will stay above 80 or 11. When consistently below 50 = downtrend
below 20 for more than 21 days. (1 day charts) 12. Most powerful summary of these: watch for
4. Look at trend lines within the Stoch RSI DEMO bearish crosses that also cross below the 80 and
5. Ensure you pair this indicator with one or two watch for bullish crosses that also cross above
more for confirmation the 20. On a weekly, this is much more significant
The above chart represents a 5 minute chart for day traders with examples of buys and sells – all
within 1 day.
• Swing Traders – it works well for swing traders to confirm momentum and where to enter the
market and when to exit. Swing traders will typically use the 4hr chart, 12 hour charts. 12 hour
chart most popular.

*Notice the above chart is the 12 hour – SO much different than the 5 minute. The 5 minute chart for day
traders represented 1 day of price action and the above 12 hour chart represents about 1 month of price
action. Also notice that the signals are spanning between several candles. Thus, we need another indicator
to pair with the Stoch RSI to confirm buys and sells. Doing this will make it much more accurate.
• Long Term Investors – Investors can also use this indicator as a way to hone in on exactly their point
to enter their investment and when to exit as well. It is a more precise indicator than the RSI alone.
Investors will typically use the weekly, monthly or even 3M charts. Monthly is most common.

The above chart is the monthly. You will first notice how signals lasted for many, many months. Another
reason why we must have a second indicator to better understand buys and sells.
• Hybrid Strategy – The Hybrid strategy uses this indicator paired with several other indicators to
maximize the buys and sells and really focuses on the natural cycles of the crypto market. Hybrid traders
typically use the daily, weekly and monthly. Mostly use the daily and weekly depending on how often
they want to trade.

**Key rule – wait for the Stoch RSI to confirm a signal to take action. During a buy - Wait for the Stoch RSI
(%K) to cross up triggering the trade. Of course this means if the RSI is also at a buy level.
For selling – wait for the Stoch RSI to confirm the signal to take action. Wait for the %D to cross up triggering
the trade. Of course this means if the RSI is also at a buy level.
For selling – wait for the Stoch RSI to confirm the signal to take action. Wait for the %D to cross down to
trigger the trade. Of course this means if the RSI is also at a buy level.

Notice in the above chart that when the RSI dropped below our level it told us it was a good time to buy.
However, it was below that level for more than a week, so how to we know when to actually trigger the
trade? Well easy, we wait for the Stoch RSI to have a cross up with the blue line to trigger our trade so long
that the Stoch RSI is also below our buy level. It’s that simple!
**We will build on our Hybrid strategy as we continue with the PRO as there is one major thing missing as
well as several key steps!!

The above chart shows the same strategy but instead of using the 1 day chart we show the weekly. For
example, on the 1 day chart we could yield roughly 1 trade per month. But using the same settings and rules
on a weekly chart – we could yield 1 trade every 6 months. It all comes down to how often you want to
trade and how patient you are. For example, the trades on the weekly chart are significantly more powerful
than the trades on the 1 day chart. However, in order to use the weekly you must master discipline and
control of your emotions.
