Why multi-timeframe momentum beats a single RSI reading

RSI on a single 5-minute chart can flip from oversold to overbought within an hour — it's noisy by design. AI NinjaTrader computes RSI (and divergence) independently across six timeframes (5m through 1D) and looks for alignment: are most timeframes agreeing on direction, or are they conflicted?

'Strong bullish' alignment means nearly every timeframe's momentum points the same way. 'Mixed' means they disagree — often a sign to wait rather than act. This is exactly the kind of evidence that's easy to miss glancing at one chart and easy to see once it's laid out across timeframes side by side.
