    ​What is RSI?


    RSI, which is a momentum indicator, gives short-term buy and sell signals and helps to determine a stock’s overbought or oversold state. It is the ratio of the recent upward price movement to the absolute price movement. The value of RSI ranges between 0-100. The StockEdge data computes the value of RSI by taking 14 days as the reference period.
