This has been the norm of the market prices, thereafter an expected correction to the opposite direction shall be made. The RSI commonly known for its relative strength index as a technical tool, is quite effective, especially where a combination of divergences and convergences are created by the prices from time to time. This is where we could identify two opposing directional lines between the RSI and the prices on the chart either using any of the chart types.

In keeping our reports and Market view as simple as possible; the Daily EURUSD shown above is within a Downward Channel since May of 2011 with a few major corrections in October.
