shecar - Back in 2010 etc, the market came off a very oversold condition in March 2009 which was very recent where the 14 RSI was oversold. I've covered this before, 14 RSI has only been oversold on a monthly chart 7 times in 95 years, it's very rare:  There's one condition in there where if that condition was very recently present give more room before turning over, but also the slope needs to be confirmed via a confirming candle, which didn't occur. What I mean by this is on the candle where the slope went negative, a candle was needed to take out the low of that candle, that never occurred there.  It's called my whipsaw confirmation method. One can use that on a variety of indicators and MA crosses, here's an example of using that on MA crosses for example a past post

    see the detailed annotated chart I drew up showing the confirmation method on the current chart, you can see how the 2010 and 2011 areas did not confirm. And currently Oct is where the slope turned negative, a close below Oct low would provide confirmation
