The RSI indicator used in technical analysis defines the strength of tren and probability of trend reversal. Also, it is used to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in the price of the stock.

There are also overbought and oversold values which are set to 70 per cent and 30 per cent by default respectively. If overbought values get closer to 100 per cent and oversold value to 0 per cent then it is more precise signals.
