RSI swing failure can be a very accurate method for trading short term oil moves. It can also be used for trading long term trends but it is best suited for short term oil especially for those traders that trade reversals.

If the RSI Indicator hits 79 then pulls back to 72, then rises to 76 and finally drops to below 72 this is considered a failure swing RSI setup. Since the 72 level is an RSI support level and it has been penetrated it means that crude price will & follow & it will penetrate its support level.

In the example shown below, the RSI indicator hits 73 then pulls back to 56, this is a support level. The indicator then rises to 68 and then drops to below 56, thus breaking the support level. The crude trading price then follows afterwards breaking it support level. The oil RSI swing failure is a leading signal and it is confirmed when crude trading price also breaks it support level.
