RSI stands for Relative Strength Index and is a technical analysis indicator that measures the strength of a security's price action, by comparing the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses. The RSI ranges from 0 to 100, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and values below 30 indicating oversold conditions. Traders often use the RSI as a buy or sell signal, depending on whether the RSI is above or below a certain level.
Is a higher RSI value better?
A higher RSI value generally indicates that a security is overbought, which means that it is trading at a relatively high price compared to its recent price history. Traders may interpret this as a signal to sell, or to be cautious about buying. Traditionally, an RSI value of 70 or above is considered to be overbought, and a value of 30 or below is considered to be oversold.
