Relative Strength Index RSI
A momentum oscillator from 0 to 100 that gauges whether a stock may be overbought or oversold.
What it is
The Relative Strength Index is a technical momentum indicator that measures the speed and size of recent price changes on a 0-to-100 scale. It is typically calculated over 14 periods. Readings above 70 are often called overbought and below 30 oversold, though these are conventions, not rules.
Why it matters
RSI helps traders gauge whether a recent move has been unusually strong in one direction and may be due to pause or reverse. The pitfalls: in a strong trend RSI can stay overbought or oversold for a long time, so it is a context tool rather than a standalone buy or sell signal, and different period settings change the readings.
How it's calculated
Compute the average of up-day gains and down-day losses over the period, take their ratio (relative strength = average gain / average loss), then convert it to a 0–100 scale.
