How should RSI be read?
Classify trend versus range first, then inspect RSI zone, slope and price-momentum divergence. Extremes can matter in ranges; in trends, a reset toward the midpoint followed by expansion can be more useful than a raw threshold.
What counts as confirmation?
Confirmation comes from price: rejection at a key area, a structural shift, failed breakout or level reclaim. RSI supports the momentum reading; it should not replace a price trigger and explicit invalidation.
