What is the Relative Strength Index (RSI)?
The
Relative Strength Index is a momentum indicator is used in technical
analysis. It measures the magnitude of recent price changes to assess
overbought or oversold conditions in the price of a stock or other
asset. It is displayed as an oscillator (a line chart that moves between
two extremes) and can have a value between 0 and 100. The indicator was
originally developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and introduced in 1978 in
his seminal book “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems”.
Traditionally, the Relative Strength Index has been interpreted and used to mean that values of 70 or above indicate that a security is overbought or overvalued and may be poised for a trend reversal or corrective price decline. An RSI reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold or undervalued condition.
