The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a “momentum indicator” that measures the magnitude of recent price gains and losses. It produces a value between 0 and 100 and is commonly used to assess whether an asset’s recent price movement may be relatively strong or weak.
Using it, several traders try to analyse the price momentum. Generally, the following “reference points” are considered:
| RSI Value/ Levels | Potential Indication |
| Above 70 | Represents an “overbought” zone. |
| Below 30 | Represents an “oversold” zone. |
| Around 50 | Can indicate relatively “balanced momentum”. |
