RSI Trend Dashboard + SMMA Channel OverlayAt its core, this script is an RSI trend framework designed to organize momentum into a compact dashboard that is easy to read at a glance, while also extending that same logic back onto the main chart through an optional SMMA-style channel overlay. Instead of treating RSI as just a single line crossing fixed levels, this script breaks it into a layered structure: current RSI state, higher-timeframe comparison, fast and slow RSI average relationships, and a summarized fast-vs-slow regime table view. The goal is not simply to show whether RSI is high or low but to create a cleaner way to read momentum alignment, trend agreement, and chart-side context from one unified engine.
The foundation of the script is the 5-row RSI trend strip. That strip is built to answer a practical set of questions quickly:
Is RSI in a bullish, bearish, or neutral zone?
Is chart RSI above or below its higher-timeframe RSI reference?
Is RSI above or below its fast average?
Is RSI above or below its slow average?
And is the fast average currently above or below the slow average?
That matters because momentum is often easier to interpret as a stack of relationships instead of as one isolated value. A single RSI print can be helpful, but RSI in relation to HTF RSI, fast structure, and slow structure often gives a better read on whether momentum is strengthening, weakening, or starting to rotate.
The added features here are not meant to feel bolted on. They are different ways of reading the same momentum structure. In this script, that includes:
➖ a 5-row trend strip
➖ a stabilized higher-timeframe RSI comparison
➖ fast and slow RSI average relation rows
➖ a fast-vs-slow summary row
➖ a compact dashboard table with current values, bar-to-bar deltas, and slope arrows
➖ an optional RSI-colored price candle overlay
➖ an optional Trend SMMA Channel Overlay on the main chart
➖ an optional smoothed OHLC4 price-average line used to color the channel
➖ optional bullish and bearish triangle markers derived from the overlay engine
The dashboard table is there to keep the same engine readable in a more precise format. The pane gives the fast visual impression. The table gives the actual current readings: rounded values, simple deltas, and short slope arrows so the trader can see not only where RSI and its companion series are, but whether they are currently improving, fading, or flattening. I like that combination because it keeps the script visual first, but still lets you confirm the details without needing to inspect each series manually.
The higher-timeframe layer is an important part of the script. Rather than leaving RSI fully isolated to the local chart, this indicator compares the chart RSI against the next logical higher timeframe so traders can quickly judge whether local momentum is aligned with broader context or starting to separate from it. The script uses SimpleCryptoLife’s HighTimeframeSampling library to stabilize that HTF reference series, which helps keep the higher-timeframe comparison cleaner and more reliable in live use.
The chart-side Trend SMMA Channel Overlay serves a different purpose. While the pane organizes RSI structure, the overlay projects a smoother trend context directly onto price using Wilder-style smoothed high and low boundaries, along with an optional smoothed OHLC4 price-average line. That creates a second way to read the same market: the pane shows internal momentum relationships, while the chart overlay helps show whether smoothed price-average behavior is pressing above the channel, below it, or back inside it. In other words, the pane gives the momentum-state view and the chart gives the price-structure view.
This script also uses auto timeframe length resolvers for the main chart-side overlay tools, which I think makes it more practical across different chart speeds. Instead of forcing users to constantly retune multiple lengths when moving from lower timeframes to higher ones, the script can automatically resolve separate preset lengths for the Trend SMMA channel, the OHLC4 price-average line, and the bullish/bearish triangle engine. Manual controls are still available, but the default design is meant to stay more adaptive and chart-friendly out of the box.
A practical way to think about it:
➡️ If RSI is strong, above HTF RSI, and above both fast and slow averages, momentum is generally aligned in the bullish direction.
➡️ If RSI is weak, below HTF RSI, and below both fast and slow averages, momentum is generally aligned in the bearish direction.
➡️ If the rows begin to disagree with each other, that often signals transition, cooling, or a market that is no longer moving with the same clean momentum structure.
➡️ If the Trend SMMA overlay is also pushing outside its channel in the same direction, that can help reinforce what the pane is already suggesting.
➡️ If the pane and chart overlay begin to disagree, that can be a useful sign that trend strength may be losing alignment.
This is not meant to predict reversals by itself, and I would not treat it as a stand-alone signal machine. The way I use it is more practical:
➖ to judge whether RSI momentum is aligned or mixed
➖ to compare local RSI behavior against higher-timeframe context
➖ to see whether fast and slow momentum structure are still confirming each other
➖ to keep pane-space momentum and chart-space trend context visually connected
That overall framing is very similar to the way my previous Chandelier and Heikin Ashi publishings were written: one central engine, then multiple companion layers that help interpret the same underlying structure rather than replacing it with unrelated tools.
Bar Replay is especially useful here. Watching the strip build one bar at a time makes it much easier to see when RSI shifts from neutral into directional territory, when chart RSI moves above or below its HTF reference, when the fast/slow relationship changes, and how the chart-side SMMA overlay responds as price-average behavior moves through the channel. Scripts like this are often easier to understand dynamically than from a single static screenshot.
Like most momentum tools, this works best with confluence. I would not use it in isolation. Structure, volume, support and resistance, price action, market regime, and higher-timeframe context all still matter. The value of this script is not that it replaces those tools. The value is that it gives RSI a more organized dashboard-style expression while also extending that same read onto the main chart through a cleaner trend overlay.
Credit where it’s due: this script uses SimpleCryptoLife’s HighTimeframeSampling library for the stabilized HTF reference, and portions of the Trend SMMA channel, OHLC4 price-average interaction, and bullish/bearish triangle logic were adapted from concepts used in SimpleCryptoLife’s open-source Price Action Trend work. I always want that lineage to be clear, especially when chart-side concepts have been reworked into a different script and broader dashboard framework.
