RSI Momentum Thrust
Uses RSI the "other way round": in crypto, strong momentum tends to persist, so an RSI push into the overbought zone is treated as a sign of strength rather than a sell signal. A long opens when RSI crosses above the thrust level while price is above a slow trend EMA; it closes when RSI falls back below the exit level (momentum faded) or on an ATR stop. Shorts mirror below the EMA with RSI crossin
