Calculation notes
- Compares two consecutive price swing lows (bullish) or highs (bearish) with the RSI at the same bars. A swing is only known after the chosen number of bars to its right have closed, so each event appears at its confirmation bar, never earlier; lines are drawn back to the two swings. A forming bar never confirms. Data gaps reset the calculation. Visual analysis only: no alerts, notifications or orders.
