The Relative Strength Index is a momentum oscillator from 0 to 100 that measures the speed and size of recent price changes. Readings above 70 are often called overbought and below 30 oversold, but in strong trends RSI can stay extreme for a long time. Its most useful signal is divergence — when price and RSI disagree.
