📖Relative Oversold | Overbought
Determine oversold and overbought on a relative basis -- a true edge most traders miss!
Overview
[D] Like Bollinger Bands for price action, RSI Bollinger Bands can be used as moving oversold and overbought thresholds, which adjust with the oscillator based on its volatility.
Relative Oversold | Overbought signals [i.e., dots] reflect an adaptive approach that normalizes RSI data relative to the trend using RSI Bollinger Bands.
RSI Bollinger Bands & Basis
Use the color selector boxes to change the upper and lower Bollinger Bands zone colors.
Toggle [RSI Bollinger Basis] to turn on the basis [i.e., mean] line of the RSI Bollinger Bands.
The basis line can also be used as a support line when RSI values are above it or as a resistance line when RSI values are below it.
When RSI is riding the upper or lower Bollinger Bands and breaks towards the middle, this reversion to the mean [i.e., basis line] can signal that the trend may be reversing.

Relative Oversold | Overbought Dots
[E] Relative Oversold | Overbought Dots flag whenever an asset is oversold or overbought on a relative basis.
Evaluating RSI on a relative basis is more reliable than evaluating RSI on an absolute basis with fixed 30/70 thresholds for oversold/overbought, which traditional RSI analysis relies on.
Signals may appear even when the standard RSI line may be far away from the generally accepted oversold and overbought thresholds [i.e., 30 and 70, respectively].
This is because rigid 30/70 thresholds are arbitrary rules of thumb that may [or may not] be relevant to current market conditions.
When RSI breaks out below the lower RSI Bollinger Band, the asset is oversold on a relative basis, given its price history, and a Relative Oversold Dot will show on the chart underneath the RSI.
When RSI breaks out above the upper RSI Bollinger Band, the asset is overbought on a relative basis, given its price history, and a Relative Overbought Dot will show on the chart above the RSI.
Relative Oversold | Overbought signals [i.e., dots] provide the Advanced RSI trader with the means to identify trend reversal or continuation opportunities that most traders will miss.
