SXT's recent performance in the futures market has sent some interesting signals. On the 15-minute chart, the RSI has already surged to 87, indicating that the short-term momentum is indeed overheating. However, looking at the 1-hour and 4-hour charts, the trend remains relatively strong—1-hour RSI at 79.7 with a bullish MACD crossover, and 4-hour RSI at 69.6 still maintaining an upward channel. This kind of divergence across multiple timeframes often signals a trap.

Trading volume is also beginning to shrink, which is not a very optimistic sign. The short-term upward momentum is waning, and market participation is lacking.

The key levels now are roughly as follows: the current price of 0.0300 is a psychological integer level. The resistance levels above are at 0.0310 and 0.0325, while the support levels below should not be overlooked—remember 0.0285 and 0.0270.

How to operate? If the price breaks above 0.0310, consider chasing long positions with a target of 0.0325, but stop-loss must be strictly set at 0.0298—don’t be soft. Conversely, if it breaks below 0.0285, switch to a wait-and-see attitude, watching whether 0.0270 can hold. The current price of 0.0300 is not suitable for chasing high; instead, it’s better to wait. The best opportunity might be if the price pulls back to around 0.0285 and stabilizes, at which point you can cautiously try a long position or wait for a confirmed breakout above 0.0310 before re-entering on a pullback.

When the market sentiment is poor, it’s even more important to stick to discipline—cut losses when the level is broken, don’t get stuck in indecision. The market is always there, and so are the opportunities.

This RSI 87 is almost sky-high, short-term really hot, but I think the 1-hour and 4-hour charts are still quite stable. If it pulls back, it could trap people in a wave. The most annoying thing is shrinking volume; chasing highs is just asking for death. Wait until 0.0285 stabilizes before trying a small move. Losing your composure makes it easy to lose money. Set your stop-loss properly and don't mess around. The market can't run away.

It's the same old bullish and bearish divergence trick. The RSI at 87 has already flashed a red light. Chasing the high now is just asking for trouble. Let's wait until it retraces to 0.0285, no need to rush. I was caught at 0.0300, don't ask me how I know. The shrinking volume signal is the same as a few days ago, a prelude to a sell-off. Only consider it if it truly breaks through 0.0310. Right now, it's all just a trap to lure buyers. If you don't believe it, just watch. Once it breaks this level, it never comes back. You need to learn to cut losses.

RSI 87 directly went over the top, I can smell the feeling of trapping people in this wave --- Shrinking volume is the real trouble; chasing highs is just looking for death --- 0.0300 lying here, I’ll just sit back and watch the show --- Only consider buying in after breaking 0.0285, now? No rush --- Always talk about discipline, always get overwhelmed by emotions, should I find a robot to operate for me --- Splitting across multiple timeframes is an old trick, don’t fall for the same routine again --- Discipline when in a bad mood? Bro, that’s easy to say, try saying that when you’re floating at a loss of 200 bucks --- I’ll believe it when it breaks 0.0310, what’s the point of bragging before the break? --- Waiting for 0.0285 to stabilize? I’m afraid that day won’t come --- This operation plan is well written, just afraid that when the time comes, I’ll forget everything in a hot moment

I've seen this RSI divergence too many times. The 15-minute at 87 and the 4-hour at 69 are like two people fighting, and the retail investors in the middle always end up losing... Don't ask me how I know; my account balance can prove everything.

Wait a minute, RSI87 still wants to chase? Isn't this a textbook-level signal of trapping people? The trading volume is still shrinking, how can it be considered strong? --- 0.0300 definitely can't be touched here, but I might try to test the waters if it stabilizes at 0.0285. --- It's another case of multi-timeframe divergence and shrinking volume. Basically, there's no one left. --- Setting stop-loss at 0.0298? That's a bit tight. Let's see if it breaks below 0.0285 first. --- You're right about the mindset, it's more practical than anything else. Don't fight yourself. --- I'm the one caught chasing high, waiting for a pullback that feels like forever. --- Trend is strongly biased? No way. I'm just watching the shrinking volume—that's the real signal. --- I believe in the 0.0310 breakout, but I need to watch carefully when it retraces to enter, easy to get cut. --- No use in hesitating. If it breaks, just run. That's been my deepest lesson in the past two months.

RSI87 is a bit outrageous. I've seen too many high-level divergences like this, and nine times out of ten, it's just a game to trap people. Now chasing at 0.0310 is a bit greedy. I'll wait for it to stabilize at 0.0285 before taking action. The shrinking volume signal can't be ignored; it needs to be taken seriously. The psychological price level of 0.0300 is indeed awkward—staying above or below doesn't matter. Why bother? Break below 0.0285 and just walk away. Don't get stuck; there are plenty of opportunities in the market.

It's the same multi-framework differentiation again. Last time I played like this, I almost got trapped. This time, I have to wait until 0.0285 stabilizes before making a move.

The RSI of 87 really can't be chased anymore; it's easy to become cannon fodder. --- I've seen this kind of divergence pattern too many times. Who can say whether it's a rebound or a trend? --- The most concerning thing is shrinking volume. It feels like something's about to happen. --- Wait for 0.0285 to stabilize before taking action. Anyway, the opportunity won't run away. --- Chasing high now is just pure giving away. Better to play it safe and watch quietly.
