Relative Strength Index In A Nutshell

Plotting the indicator is simple as many charting platforms have this and simply is put at the bottom of the chart. Using the indicator is simple, but to fine tune it an understand if it will work for you style may take some time. The RSI can sometimes give false signals on drastic market moves, so you could even refine you over bought target to anything over 80 and your over sold to anything below 20. Typically, anything below 30 can be considered over sold and anything over 70 can be over bought.

A very popular momentum indicator is the Relative Strength Index or RSI for short. The Relative Strength Index uses a specific period of time, measuring speed as well as price movements of the equity you have chosen. When using the RSI, it is primarily used to determine if an equity is over bought or over sold, and does so by indicating a range from 0 to 100, with zero being extremely over sold and 100 being extremely over bought.
