The **Relative Strength Index (RSI)** is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements, ranging from 0 to 100. It helps traders identify overbought or oversold conditions:
- **RSI above 70**: Overbought, potential price reversal or pullback. - **RSI below 30**: Oversold, potential price rebound or reversal.
### Key Uses in Trading: 1. **Overbought/Oversold Conditions**: Buy when RSI is below 30, and sell when above 70. 2. **Divergence**: - **Bullish Divergence**: Price makes new lows, but RSI makes higher lows (buy signal). - **Bearish Divergence**: Price makes new highs, but RSI makes lower highs (sell signal). 3. **Trend Confirmation**: RSI above 50 suggests a bullish trend, below 50 indicates a bearish trend. 4. **Entry/Exit Signals**: RSI crossing above 30 (from oversold) can signal a buying opportunity, while crossing below 70 (from overbought) can signal a selling opportunity.
### Best Used With: - Other indicators (e.g., moving averages, support/resistance) to confirm signals.
RSI helps traders spot potential reversals, confirm trends, and make informed entry/exit decisions.
