Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator that was developed by J. Welles Wilder.

This indicator measures the speed as well as the change of movement in prices.

This is a leading indicator that is one of the core indicators of technical analysis.

What is the Relative Strength Index?

Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator. This indicator oscillates between zero and 100.

The RSI is considered to be overbought when it is above 70 and oversold when it is below 30.

Thus one can buy when the RSI moves above 30 from below and sell when it moves below 70 from above.

RSI is mainly used to identify the general trend.

It can also generate signals by making bullish and bearish divergences.

The formula for calculating the Relative Strength Index is:

RSI = 100 – 100 / (1 + RS)
RS  =  Average Gain over a specified period/ Average loss over the same period

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good relative strength index number?

RSI values of 70 or above indicate that a security is becoming overbought or overvalued and a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price is possible. An RSI of 30 or below indicates an oversold or undervalued condition of the stock.

How do you use the relative strength indicators?

Relative Strength Index is a popular indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder, It helps traders evaluate the strength of the current market.

It is also scaled from 0 to 100. Typically, values of 30 or lower indicate oversold market conditions and an increase in the possibility of price strengthening (going up). Values of 70 or higher indicate overbought conditions and an increase in the possibility of price weakening (going down).

Which indicator works best with RSI?

Short-term moving average crossovers, like the 5 EMA crossing over the 10 EMA, are best suited to complement RSI. The 5 EMA crossing from above to below the 10 EMA confirms the RSI’s indication of overbought conditions and possible trend reversal in the market.

Relative strength vs relative strength index

The relative strength tells about the value of a stock in comparison to another stock, index, or benchmark, while the Relative Strength Index tells about the performance of a stock in comparison to the recent performance of the same stock.
