Momentum failure swings on the 60-minute chart
Momentum failure swings are the spine of our evening workshop and the closing unit of the intensive. The pattern is older than most of the room; the mistakes around it are modern.
Structure in plain terms
A bullish failure swing forms when RSI makes a low, rallies, pulls back to a higher low that stays above the prior extreme, then breaks the intervening high. Bearish failure is the inverse. Price structure should rhyme; oscillator theatre alone is not enough.
Where RSI helps
RSI clarifies whether the second low (or high) truly failed to extend momentum. If price makes the higher low but RSI carves a fresh extreme, we treat the failure idea as incomplete. That single check has saved more impulsive entries than any new indicator.
Classroom habit
We ask trainees to narrate the failure out loud before drawing the entry. Hesitation in the narration usually means the chart is not clean enough. Bring that habit to your own desk between sessions.
