RVI XAUUSD Technical Analysis & RVI XAUUSD Signals

Developed by John Ehlers

The RVI combines the older concepts of technical analysis with modern digital signal processing theories and filters to create a practical & useful indicator.

The basic principle behind it's simple -

  • XAUUSD Prices tend to close higher than they open in up-trending markets and
  • XAUUSD Prices close lower than they open in down-trending markets.

The momentum (vigor) of the move will therefore established by where the prices end up at the close of the candlestick. The RVI plots two lines the RVI Line and the signal Line.

The RVI index is essentially based on measuring of the average difference between the closing and opening gold trading price, & this value is then averaged to the mean daily trading range & then drawn.
