How to Set Up (3 Steps)
- •Step 1: Search for any stock on StockAlert.pro (e.g., PLTR, SHOP, DKNG)
- •Step 2: Select "RSI Threshold" and choose your threshold (30 for oversold, 70 for overbought - adjust for regime)
- •Step 3: Choose notification method (email or SMS) and save
Done! You'll receive automatic alerts when RSI crosses your threshold. Remember: adjust thresholds for market regime (40/80 in bull markets, 20/60 in bear markets).
Example: Palantir Bull Market - Q4 2023
- •Setup: PLTR rallied from $16 to $20 in November 2023, hitting RSI 72 - classic 'overbought' signal
- •Signal: Price >50MA (bull regime), AI hype catalyst, strong volume - RSI 70 threshold inappropriate
- •Alert Trigger: Traders using classic RSI 70 sold at $20, expecting reversal
- •Result: PLTR continued to $27 by January 2024 (+68% from $16 entry), RSI stayed >50 throughout
- •Key Insight: Bull regime requires adjusted thresholds (80/45, not 70/30) - classic RSI caused 35% missed gain
Scenario Guide
| Scenario | Regime | RSI Level | Example | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bull Oversold | Price >50MA | RSI 40-50 | PLTR dips to RSI 45 in uptrend | Buy - regime-adjusted oversold |
| Bull Overbought | Price >50MA | RSI >80 | Extended after RSI 80+ sustained | Trim 25-50%, keep core |
| Bear Oversold | Price <50MA | RSI <25 | Capitulation RSI 22 + volume | Wait for stabilization first |
| Sideways Range | Price flat | RSI 30/70 | RSI oscillates classic levels | Trade mean reversion 30/70 |
| Divergence Setup | Any | Higher low/lower high | Price new low, RSI higher | High probability reversal signal |
When to Use
- •You want to buy pullbacks in uptrends when RSI reaches regime-adjusted oversold (40-50 in bull)
- •You need sell signals when momentum exhausts in sideways markets (classic 70)
- •You're combining RSI with other alerts (volume, MA) for confirmation layers
When Not to Use
- •Using standard 30/70 in strong trends (fails 40-60% of the time)
- •Buying RSI 30 in bear markets without structure confirmation (catching knives)
- •Trading RSI alone without volume or price structure confirmation
Conclusion
RSI alerts are only as good as the regime awareness behind them. The 30/70 defaults work in sideways markets. In trends, they fail catastrophically. Master regime identification, add volume/structure confirmation for high-probability setups.
