The Relative Strength Index indicator (RSI)

How does RSI work?

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.

The indicator shows the data on zero per cent to hundred per cent. Thus if all the candlesticks are green it signifies a hundred per cent and if at the end of the day all the candlesticks are red it signifies zero per cent.

Period and overbought/oversold areas

A period is nothing but a candlestick quantity that is used for data collecting. It is always set on 14 by default in the indicator settings.

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.

Using Relative Strength Index

You can determine an overbought case when an RSI indicator intersects on a higher level and an oversold case occur when the indicator intersects on a lower border where prices are expected to get too low or too fast.
