● The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a popular momentum oscillator used in technical

analysis to measure the speed and change of price movements. Below is a detailed
overview that you can use or include in a document about the RSI indicator:

●
● Relative Strength Index (RSI) Overview
●
● Definition:
● The RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the relative strength of an asset's
recent price changes to determine overbought or oversold conditions.
●
●
● ---
●
● Key Features:
●
● 1. Range:
● The RSI value oscillates between 0 and 100.
●
●
● 2. Default Period:
● The standard calculation uses a 14-period timeframe.
●
●
● 3. Key Levels:
●
● Overbought: RSI > 70
●
● Oversold: RSI < 30
● These levels can be adjusted based on market conditions or trading strategy.
●
●
●
● 4. Divergences:
● RSI divergence (price moving opposite to RSI) can signal potential reversals.
●
●
●
●
● ---
●
● RSI Formula:
●
● RSI = 100 - \left( \frac{100}{1 + RS} \right)
●
● Where:
●
● RS = \frac{\text{Average Gain over } n \text{ periods}}{\text{Average Loss over } n
\text{ periods}}
●
●
● ---
●
● Calculation Steps:
●
● 1. Determine Gain and Loss:
● Calculate the price changes for each period. Separate gains and losses.
● Gains are positive changes, and losses are absolute values of negative changes.
●
●
● 2. Calculate Average Gain and Loss:
● Use a 14-period simple moving average (SMA) or exponential moving average
(EMA).
●
●
● 3. Compute RS (Relative Strength):
● Divide the average gain by the average loss.
●
●
● 4. Apply the RSI Formula:
● Use the RSI formula to calculate the RSI value.
●
●
●
●
● ---
●
● Applications of RSI:
●
● 1. Identifying Overbought and Oversold Levels:
●
● When RSI > 70: Asset may be overbought (potential for reversal or pullback).
●
● When RSI < 30: Asset may be oversold (potential for bounce or reversal).
●
●
●
● 2. Divergence Analysis:
●
● Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows, but RSI makes higher lows.
●
● Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs, but RSI makes lower highs.
●
●
●
● 3. Trend Confirmation:
●
● RSI values between 40-60 often indicate a consolidating market.
●
● RSI trends upward in a strong bullish trend and downward in a strong bearish trend.
●
●
●
●
●
● ---
●
● Limitations of RSI:
●
● 1. False Signals:
● RSI can produce false overbought/oversold signals in strong trending markets.
●
●
● 2. Lagging Indicator:
● Like most oscillators, RSI may lag behind price action.
●
●
● 3. Subjective Interpretation:
● RSI levels (30/70) are not absolute and may require adjustment based on asset
volatility.
●
●
●
●
● ---
●
● Practical Tips:
●
● 1. Combine RSI with other indicators like Moving Averages or Bollinger Bands for
confirmation.
●
●
● 2. Use RSI on multiple timeframes to refine your analysis.
●
●
● 3. Adjust the RSI period (e.g., 7, 14, or 21) to suit the asset's volatility.
