RSI

Is the move running out of steam?

In this lesson

Understand what RSI measures, how it's calculated, and why overbought does not mean 'sell'.

Key takeaways

RSI compares the size of recent gains with recent losses on a 0–100 scale (usually 14 periods).
Above 70 = overbought (rose fast); below 30 = oversold (fell fast).
In strong trends RSI can stay overbought or oversold for a long time.
Use RSI with trend and support/resistance, not alone.
