Combined RSI Analysis
The Combined RSI indicator merges multiple Relative Strength Index calculations across different timeframes to create a comprehensive momentum oscillator. This multi-timeframe approach provides more reliable overbought and oversold signals by confirming momentum across various time horizons.
Understanding Combined RSI
What is Combined RSI?
Combined RSI aggregates multiple RSI calculations with different periods and data sources into a single composite indicator. By averaging RSI values from short-term, medium-term, and long-term timeframes, it reduces false signals and provides a more balanced view of market momentum that filters out short-term noise.
Overbought and Oversold Levels
The indicator displays threshold bands to identify extreme market conditions. When the Combined RSI reaches oversold territory (lower band), it suggests selling pressure may be exhausted and a reversal could be imminent. Conversely, overbought readings (upper band) indicate potential exhaustion of buying momentum and increased risk of pullbacks.

Trading Applications
Traders use Combined RSI for timing entries and exits in both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies. Oversold conditions during uptrends may offer pullback buying opportunities, while overbought readings in downtrends can signal potential short-term bounce exhaustion. Divergences between price and Combined RSI often precede significant trend changes.
