Study Notes
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
- RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements.
- It helps identify overbought or oversold conditions in a market.
- Commonly used in technical analysis to forecast potential price reversals.
Misconceptions about RSI
- Not all interpretations about RSI are accurate; some may lead to false signals.
- It does not indicate the direction of future price movements solely.
RSI Measurement Scale
- Typically measured on a scale from 0 to 100.
- Levels above 70 often signal overbought conditions, while levels below 30 suggest oversold conditions.
Relative Strength (RS)
- RS compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses.
- It serves as a foundational component for calculating RSI.
RSI Computation
- Calculated using the average gains and losses over a specified period, usually 14 days.
- Formula: RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS)), where RS is the average of x days’ up closes divided by the average of x days’ down closes.
