This RSI Setup Could Be Your First Entry After the Breakout
One of the challenging aspects of investing is knowing when to buy after a stock breaks out. If you jump in too early, you may get caught in the pullback and if you wait too long, you may miss the move.
In this video, Joe Rabil of Rabil Stock Research walks through an RSI setup that can help you identify that first entry opportunity after a breakout.
Joe explains how combining RSI(20) and RSI(5) can reveal when momentum is strengthening beneath the surface. When RSI(20) stays above 50 during a pullback and the RSI(5) dips and turns higher, it can signal that the next leg up may be getting ready to start.
In addition to the RSI strategy, Joe also takes a step back to review the broader market picture. He breaks down what he's seeing, including volatility, sentiment, and trends across multiple timeframes.
Joe also analyzes several key ETFs, including QQQ and IWM, and reviews viewer-requested stocks, offering practical chart insights you can apply to your own charts.
