Institutional Volume RSI [Adaptive]The Institutional Volume RSI is a next-generation momentum oscillator designed to solve the two biggest problems with standard RSI: Price Deception and Static Thresholds.
Standard RSI uses fixed 70/30 levels to define "Overbought" and "Oversold." This is flawed because in a strong institutional trend, the market can stay "Overbought" for weeks. Selling just because RSI hit 70 is a guaranteed way to lose money.
This tool fixes that.
It replaces static lines with Adaptive Volatility Bands . These bands breathe with the market—expanding during trends and contracting during squeezes—giving you a dynamic, statistically significant view of true momentum.
How It Works
The engine runs on three institutional concepts:
1. Volume-Weighted Source (VWMA) 📊
We calculate RSI based on Volume Weighted Moving Average , not just Close price.
Low Volume Move: RSI ignores it (Fakeout).
High Volume Move: RSI reacts aggressively (True Momentum).
2. Adaptive Volatility Bands 🌊
Instead of fixed lines, we use dynamic bands (similar to Bollinger Bands) applied directly to the RSI.
The Trend Ride: As long as the RSI line stays inside or above the Upper Band, the trend is strong. Do not sell.
The Squeeze: When the bands contract (get tight), it signals that volatility is dead and a massive explosive move is imminent.
3. Dynamic Sentiment Coloring 🎨
Green Line: RSI is above the baseline (Bullish Control).
Red Line: RSI is below the baseline (Bearish Control).
White Dots: These appear when RSI breaks outside the bands, signaling an extreme statistical anomaly (often a climax top or bottom).
The "Elastic Snap" Strategy
Recommended Companion: Hooke's Law: Market Elasticity
This indicator is the perfect "Trigger" for a Mean Reversion system. We recommend pairing it with a Reversal indicator (like Hooke's Law) to create a complete Setup + Trigger system.
The Strategy Rules:
1. The Setup (The Stretch) 📏
Wait for your Reversal Indicator (e.g., Hooke's Law) to identify an overextended market condition (Overbought/Oversold).
Context: The rubber band is stretched tight.
2. The Trigger (The Snap) 🔫
Do not enter blindly! Look at the IV-RSI :
For Shorts: Wait for the RSI line to turn RED . This confirms that momentum has actually rolled over.
For Longs: Wait for the RSI line to turn GREEN . This confirms that buyers have stepped in.
3. The Filter (The Safety) 🛡️
If price hits your Stop Loss level before the IV-RSI changes color, cancel the trade . This prevents you from shorting a strong trend that is simply "melting up" without volume exhaustion.
Settings & Configuration
RSI Length: Default is 14.
Source Type: VWMA (Volume Weighted) is recommended for institutional analysis.
Bands Multiplier: Default is 2.0 (Standard Deviation). Increasing this to 2.5 will make the "White Dot" extremes rarer and more significant.
