2 sections0:00Welcome back. Stochastic RSI — running a stochastic on top of RSI for an extra-sensitive momentum read. Instead of applying the stochastic formula to price, Stoch RSI applies it to the RSI value itself. The result is momentum of momentum — far faster and more sensitive than either alone. It swings between zero and one and pings overbought and oversold constantly. That sensitivity is a gift in a ranging market and a curse in a trend, where it screams reversal long before one arrives.
