RSI Disbalance Strategy
RSI Disbalance detects moments when market momentum becomes unusually weak — signaling exhaustion among sellers and the potential start of a rebound.
By measuring how far the RSI drops below both the oversold zone and its own 20-day norm, this strategy captures emotional sell-offs that often precede bullish reversals.
How It Works
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) measures the balance between buying and selling pressure.
Normally, values below 30–35 signal oversold conditions, but RSI Disbalance goes further — it looks for moments when momentum collapses beyond what’s typical for that stock.
The strategy activates when:
It often marks a short-term bottom where weak hands exit and accumulation quietly begins.
For deeper confirmation, traders can also compare the 20-day and 50-day average RSI values:
when the short-term RSI average starts rising toward or crossing the long-term one, it reinforces the case for a bullish reversal in progress.

The strategy activates when:
- RSI < 35 — the market is oversold, sellers dominate.
- RSI < (20-day Avg RSI – 10) — the RSI has dropped more than 10 points below its short-term norm, signaling an abnormal loss of strength.

Historical Transparency
Unlike most screeners that only display current data, pi-Rate preserves every daily snapshot — including RSI values, averages, and strategy flags — allowing you to trace how signals evolve over time.
Each version of the screener is archived on a shared Google Drive, giving you access to the full historical record exactly as it looked on the day of calculation.
This enables you to analyze how RSI Disbalance signals performed after they appeared, study recovery dynamics, and verify the consistency of reversal patterns across different market phases.
The Price Performance % column reflects the change in each stock’s closing price from the screener’s creation date to the most recent available price (with a ~20-minute delay), retrieved directly from Google Finance for accuracy and transparency.
With this level of historical visibility, pi-Rate becomes more than a screener — it’s a living archive of market behavior and trader sentiment shifts over time.
