Is RSI or CCI better?

Neither RSI nor CCI is universally better; they serve different purposes, and the best choice depends on your trading style. CCI is more sensitive to changes in prices and can be used to identify overbought or oversold conditions earlier than the RSI, while RSI sits on a fixed 0-100 scale and excels at confirming signals.

20 years of backtesting show RSI returned 1,282 percent versus CCI's 1,108 percent, but CCI generates more entries per chart.

Use CCI when you want earlier momentum reads, and RSI when you need cleaner confirmation in trending markets. Many traders run both together to filter noise.
