RSI oversold bounce alerts

"RSI under 30" is a noisy signal. RSI just crossed back above 30 with price reclaiming VWAP is a reversal setup. Here's how to alert on the second one.

Why low RSI alone isn't enough

RSI dropping below 30 means the recent run of selling has been intense. It does NOT mean the stock is about to bounce — RSI can stay under 30 for days or weeks while a stock keeps falling. Most "oversold" alerts fire repeatedly into a downtrend and lose money.

The real signal is the recovery: RSI just crossed back above 30, ideally with volume picking up. That's the moment buyers stepped back in.

How Tickerbot does it

Tickerbot tracks the RSI of every ticker every five minutes and detects the edge — the bar where RSI was below 30 last tick and is now above 30. State-change dedup means you get the alert once per bounce, not 14 times in an hour.

Stacking with VWAP and volume

The cleanest entries combine RSI recovery with price action confirmation. Reclaiming VWAP on a volume bump is a real reversal. Without those, the bounce can fade in minutes.

Variants worth setting up

• "RSI bounce on a watchlist stock with a recent analyst upgrade"
• "RSI bounce on a small-cap with a fresh news catalyst"
• "RSI bounce on any large-cap with volume above 2× the 30-day average"
• "Double oversold: stochastic under 20 + RSI under 30, both recovering"
