RSI stands for Relative Strength Index. It is a momentum oscillator used to identify trend reversal. RSI was invented by Welles Wilder Junior. The default look-back period for RSI is 14, however this can be lowered to increase sensitivity or raised to decrease sensitivity. RSI calculates strength of stock trend and helps to predict their reversals.

Why one should buy State Bank of India (SBI)?

There are a lot of trading strategies using RSI; below mentioned is one of the most popular among trading community which involves buy after completing retracement for higher movement.

In the past few days, RSI had given a breakout by trading above 50 levels from below and made a high of 78 then after it is trading lower or retracing towards center line placed at 50 levels, this behavior is called as RSI Pull Back Buy or RSI PBB setup.

RSI PBB setup indicates that once RSI turns its tail upside after taking support from zone of 45-55 levels, target is previous swing high of RSI which was 78 or previous swing high of prices. Currently the SBI is going through this setup and we expect higher price movement towards Rs 210 levels in coming days.
