RSI: measuring momentum and market extremes
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of the most widely used momentum indicators. It helps traders identify overbought, oversold, and potential reversal conditions.
What RSI measures
RSI measures the speed and strength of price movement on a scale from 0 to 100.
It does not measure price direction directly, but instead how strong recent moves have been relative to previous ones.
Below 30
RSI below 30 suggests strong downward momentum and potential oversold conditions.
30–70 range
RSI between 30 and 70 indicates balanced momentum without extreme conditions.
How traders use RSI
RSI is commonly used to identify potential reversals, momentum shifts, and divergence between price and indicator movement. It is often combined with trend analysis and support/resistance levels.
Buy, sell, and neutral interpretation
A bullish signal may appear when RSI moves up from oversold levels or holds above mid-range. A bearish signal may appear when RSI moves down from overbought levels. Neutral signals occur when RSI shows no clear directional strength.
When RSI fails
RSI can stay overbought or oversold for long periods during strong trends.
This is a common mistake among beginners — assuming high RSI always means price will fall. In trending markets, RSI can remain elevated while price continues higher.
