RIVER's recent rally has confirmed a bullish trend across multiple cycles, but the problem is— the 1-hour and 4-hour RSI are already overheated.



Let's look at the data across different cycles: the 15-minute RSI is at 61, which is still acceptable; the 1-hour RSI has shot up to 78, and although the MACD histogram is positive, it's clearly overbought; the 4-hour RSI is also at 70, indicating an upward trend overall, but it needs time to digest the gains.

Currently, the price is around 21.25, which serves as the intraday support. The resistance levels above are at 22.00 and 23.50, while the support levels below are at 20.80 and 19.50.

My straightforward view is: chasing the high now is too risky. Either wait for it to stabilize around 20.80 before entering a long position; or wait for a strong breakout above 22.00, confirm the momentum, and then target 23.50. Setting a stop-loss at 21.40 is sufficient.

If it breaks below 20.80, I will stay on the sidelines and wait for it to firmly hold at 19.50 before considering any action. Overheated markets are not my gamble—this is years of trading experience. Sometimes, waiting itself is the best strategy.

When RSI is hot, it's a test of your mindset. I usually just watch without action, wait for a pullback, and then decide. Chasing highs is something I've long given up.

ngl the RSI readings here are giving me liquidation cascade vibes... 78 on the hourly? that's not alpha extraction, that's just asking for a state transition nobody wants to see. the inefficiency vector is pointing hard toward consolidation rn, not breakout.

RSI78 is a bit scary. I think this wave really calls for some calmness, otherwise it's easy to chase the top. --- Wait for stability before entering. No rush. Overheated markets make me nervous too. --- You're right. Entering now makes you the bag holder. That's what I think too. --- That 20.80 level is crucial. Once broken, you need to step back and breathe. --- Experienced traders understand that in overheated markets, it's better to hold back. Waiting for the right opportunity is much more comfortable than blindly going long.

This wave is indeed hot, I saw the RSI at 78, and I don't dare to chase... I'll wait for a pullback to decide.

Damn, RSI is already at 78, and you still want to chase? Are you looking for death?
