RSI

Indicators I

The momentum gauge

RSI compares recent up-moves to down-moves, scaled 0 to 100. Above 70 = overbought, below 30 = oversold. But in strong trends RSI can stay pinned for weeks. Zone + context, not zone alone.

Check yourself

RSI reads 78 in a monster uptrend. The pro read is…

  1. Short immediately
  2. Strong momentum, and overbought can stay overbought correct
  3. Buy more blindly

Overbought ≠ sell. In trends, extreme RSI is strength. Reversal needs actual price confirmation.
