Indicator Overview
The Relative Price Channel indicator creates a channel based on RSI-derived values and plots it as a shaded band below the main chart. It visualizes relative price positioning by highlighting overbought, oversold, and neutral zones. This helps traders quickly understand whether the current price movement is leaning toward strength or weakness.
The tool converts RSI behavior into a channel-like structure, giving a more intuitive sense of momentum extremes without relying on the classic horizontal RSI chart layout.
How to Use It in Practice
In live trading, the Relative Price Channel can be used to:
- Check whether the current price action is entering overbought or oversold regions.
- Identify potential reversal points when the RSI-based channel reaches its extreme zones.
- Gauge momentum by observing how the channel behaves during trends or consolidations.
- Use the neutral band to understand when the market is lacking directional strength.
The smooth channel style makes it easier to monitor RSI-based momentum without switching focus to a separate oscillator window.
