The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and magnitude of price changes on a scale of 0–100. An RSI above 70 suggests a stock may be overbought (potentially due for a pullback). An RSI below 30 suggests it may be oversold (potentially a buying opportunity). RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978.
