Strategy overview

RSI divergence is a momentum-reading technique: when price makes a new high or low that the RSI refuses to confirm, it flags a move whose underlying strength is fading. This entry decodes something less common than a rules video — a Rankia LIVE interview with Pau Perdices, presented as a Spanish trader competing at the top of a Forex trading world championship, in which RSI divergence appears not as the headline signal but as one half of a two-tool method paired with Fibonacci retracement.

The angle here is how those two tools divide the labor inside a discretionary, trend-following approach. Perdices frames Gold as his primary focus and builds around following the prevailing trend: Fibonacci retracement marks where a pullback is likely to run out of room, and RSI divergence is used to time entries into that zone and to justify exits when the divergence breaks down. Positions are intraday — held on the order of a few hours — and size is adapted to how volatile the market is at the time, so the same setup can carry more or less risk depending on conditions.

Because this is an interview rather than a mechanical walkthrough, the source lays out a philosophy and a sequence more than a fixed rule set — no exact parameters were extracted from it. What it offers is a window into how a competitive trader pairs a classic retracement tool with momentum divergence and manages risk around a single instrument, a useful contrast to approaches that treat RSI as a standalone trigger.

Frequently asked questions

What is RSI divergence in trading?

RSI divergence occurs when price and the RSI move in opposite directions — for example, price prints a higher high while RSI prints a lower high — signaling that the momentum behind a move is fading and that a reversal or pause may follow.

How does this strategy use Fibonacci together with RSI divergence?

In the approach discussed, Fibonacci retracement locates where a pullback within a prevailing trend may end, while RSI divergence is used to confirm the timing of entries and to signal exits when the divergence breaks. RSI works as a confirmation partner to the retracement level rather than as a standalone signal.
