RSI is a momentum indicator , however most people seem to be using it to go against the momentum by trying to identify tops/bottoms using it. Its in my opinion the wrong way to be using it. It can be easily used for trend following which seems like a better use for it.
Uptrend - RSI > 60
Downtrend - RSI < 40
Sideways - RSI between 40 and 60
If however not interested in filtering for sideways trends and convert it to a long-short only strategy that stays in market all the time then it can be simply modified by setting both overbought/oversold thresholds to 50. In such a case uptrend will be above 50 and downtrend will be less than 50.
Note: wait for close for current bar to be confirmed as RSI is calculated at close

but anyway i just put your indicator on my chart (i was just randomly on the 4hr chart and have not checked the other time frames for this yet),,, so on the 4hr chart if you look closely on big moves you will see the color switch sooner than kinda the smaller moves ,, so what i mean by this is if price is about to have a bip pump the rsi line will turn green near the 40 line going upwards and vice versa in a big dump the rsi line will turn red just past the 60 line going down .... just curious if you noticed this @zzzcrypto123 ??
