RSI (Relative Strength Index)

A 0–100 speedometer for how hard a price has been pushed recently.

RSI compares the size of recent gains with the size of recent losses over a set number of days — 14 by default — and expresses it as a number between 0 and 100.

Above 70 is called *overbought*: the price has risen fast and may be due a pause. Below 30 is *oversold*: it has fallen fast. Around 50 means buyers and sellers have been evenly matched.

It measures speed, not direction of value. A strong company can be overbought and a weak one oversold; RSI says nothing about whether the business is any good.

RSI(14) of 26 means the fall has been steep and persistent — of the last 14 days' movement, far more was down than up. RSI 72 is the mirror image.

Above 70 — overbought, the rise has been fast

30 to 70 — the ordinary range

Below 30 — oversold, the fall has been fast

In a powerful trend RSI can sit above 70 (or below 30) for weeks while the price keeps going. "Overbought" is not a signal to expect a reversal — it describes what has already happened.
