Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The Relative Strength Index measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions. AlgoZilla uses RSI at three horizons (5, 14, and 21 bars) to capture both fast reversals and sustained momentum shifts.
How AlgoZilla Uses RSI
Unlike traditional RSI trading (buy below 30, sell above 70), our model treats RSI as one input among 170+ features. The ensemble classifier learns coin-specific RSI patterns — for example, BTC may trend above RSI 60 for weeks during bull markets, while altcoins like SOL show sharper mean-reversion. The model is retrained every two weeks per coin, so RSI thresholds adapt to changing market conditions automatically.
Multi-Timeframe RSI
Our multi-timeframe engine computes RSI across 2H, 4H, 8H, 12H, and 24H timeframes. Delta features (RSI change over 8 and 12 bars) are among the most predictive signals in our momentum category. See also: MACD, Williams %R.
